Local AI isn’t coming. It’s already here.

In 2025, it’s not just about Maps anymore.

AI is now multi modal, which means it’s pulling from your reviews, photos, videos, and how people talk about you online to decide who gets shown and who gets buried.

Your website influences your Maps visibility. Your FAQs shape how trustworthy you look in both Maps and organic results, which then influences how often AI includes you in its answers. See how it’s all connected?

Every piece of your online presence talks to the next one.

If a business isn’t feeding those signals... real photos, updated info, fresh reviews, consistent branding ...AI has nothing to work with. It just moves on to the next one.

This is already happening inside Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT and other AI chat tools' results.

Local businesses that treat this like it’s “someday in the future” are already being replaced in search results and chat results by the ones treating it like it’s right now.

If you haven’t looked at your online footprint lately, this is your reminder: AI is.
