From keywords to conversations
Local SEO used to be a game with keywords. Today, AI understands intentions. When a user asks: “Where can I sit outside and drink coffee in a relaxed atmosphere?”, filters out the AI profiles that can confirm exactly this atmosphere through texts and images. The relevance is shifting: It is no longer just about being “there”, but about being the perfect answer to a specific user request.
