What the Research Is Showing

How Customers Find Local Businesses Is Shifting

Customers have found local businesses through Google for years.
What’s changing is how decisions are made before a click ever happens.

Today, Google and new AI-powered search tools often decide who gets recommended before someone visits a website.

If your business isn’t being recognized by these systems, fewer people see you — and fewer calls come in.

The Bottom Line

Local businesses that align their online presence with how AI and search platforms evaluate information are more likely to be shown, recommended, and contacted.

Those that don’t may still exist online — but are increasingly skipped over.
