Have anyone worked with the latest iteration of these tools (Xagio and SEONEO)? What's your opinion? Do they make your work easier or it's just a huge time sink with the learning curve?

Most local businesses still think of Google Maps as a directory and AI as a distant tool. But that’s changing fast. AI assistants are already deciding which brands show up first, which get mentioned by name, and which vanish quietly because their data can’t be trusted. Today’s discussion inside the mastermind looks at five patterns shaping local visibility right now: 1. The Link Gap — AI mentions thousands of local businesses, but it rarely connects them to a website. Those that structure their data clearly get the citation, and that single difference multiplies visibility. 2. Data Integrity as Ranking Power — AI relies on consistent, verifiable information. Every mismatch between your listings, website, and CRM lowers confidence—and lowers your rank. 3. Automation Without Oversight — Many businesses install “smart” tools that quietly reinforce bias or exclude good leads. Governance now matters as much as marketing. 4. The Rise of AI Shopping Behavior — More customers are buying through chat interfaces and AI-generated product guides before they ever hit a local search page. If your product data isn’t readable by these systems, you’re invisible. 5. The Quality of Questions — The brands that grow next year won’t be the ones generating the most content; they’ll be the ones asking better questions that guide AI to the right answers. This isn’t about chasing algorithms—it’s about becoming the verified, trusted entity AI can’t ignore. The mastermind is where we’re building that playbook together. If you’re running a local business or agency and you’ve started noticing AI shaping your search traffic, it’s time to get in front of it—not react to it. Join The MasterMind Group

Today’s theme: smarter local systems. The edge now isn’t posting more—it’s teaching AI how to recognize you. - Agentic AI: automation that learns and acts. Use it to keep your listings fresh and responsive. - System Building: start simple, refine fast. One profile, one loop, one win—then scale. - Local Authority: every blog, video, and review trains AI to trust your business first. - Review Loops: consistent engagement builds visibility faster than any ad spend. - Structured Social: clear captions, geotags, and alt text make your posts machine-readable. Focus this week: pick one system and make it smarter. Small signals stack into visibility. Inside the Mastermind: members are sharing how these micro-systems compound into full-market dominance. Want in? The next cohort opens soon.

Today’s theme: clarity over chaos. Most local businesses lose visibility not because the work is hard, but because the standard isn’t defined. “Good enough” reviews, “soon” follow-ups, “maybe later” content—those gaps are what the algorithm notices first. Set a real spec. Automate one repeat task. Publish one clear piece of local proof this week. That’s how authority starts—by removing excuses, not adding effort. We unpack how to build these systems (and measure them) inside the Local AI Visibility MasterMind. If you’re ready to show up first in Maps and AI results, that’s where the deeper work happens.

Thanks @Mike Clay for another round of knowledge bombs! bummed I had to step out early on today's call.
