Hi all- I am constantly spammed by people on my business email offering either an SEO service or SEO tool. The market seem to be super saturated, yet last time I tried a tool- I dont think I found much results from using it. Might be just me. But I am willing to give a try again next quarter since I have some extra budget.

So, experts, what tool has helped you most to improve your businesses local SEO?

Hi all- I realized we have not been using the blog feature of our wordpress website at all. We are a local business with multiple branches in the regions.

So curious from the experts here, what type of content actually ranks for local businesses?

For example, for my wife's dental practice, I have setup a simple automation using Frizerly that goes through every long tail keyword on Google search console (what customers ar already searching for), identifies questions that are relevant to her practice, and then auto posts well researched blogs on her wordpress website daily answering these question verbatim. the content is produced by an AI trained on all our practices data, testimonials and services. Has absolutely done wonders to both our google search ranking and visibility on Grok, ChatGPT etc! This would be the one for me cause it's really just about using data to consistently improve our website with blogs!

So curious, what part of local SEO have you been able to successfully automate away?

Hi all- I have recently noticed all my Google searches are basically triggering an AI overview and I almost never scroll down to search results anymore. Even if I do scroll, I am probably not going to scroll past the ads as well. So I am assuming most customers are now finding answers from the AI overview or Gemini as well.

So experts, what is the most effective way for local businesses to show up on Gemini and Google AI overview?

Hi all- I have been seeing a lot of discussion around automation tools but I often found that most of these actually waste my time at the end of the rather than save time once the novelty fades out.

So I am curious, what automation tools actually saves you at-least 10 hours every week?

Back when I started using AI ChatGPT used to be the star. Now most our our marketing team uses Claude Cowork as well. I still use ChatGPT personally as my primary tool. But haven't been exploring much outside that. So I am sure I am missing out on a few. So would love to learn from the successful ones out here!

So curious, successful marketers, what is your AI stack looking like today?

Hi all- for the longest most of our customers came from Google search ads, we use to just bid on keywords and we were getting customers quite well. We used to spend around $5k per month on Google ads. Basically bidding on questions customers were searching that was relevant to our business.

However recently we have noticed more and more and people trying to use ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok for finding answers. Most of the time our competitors are showing up here but not us.

So how do I ensure ChatGPT and Gemini is citing my business over my competitors? Any help is much appreciated.
