Be the Business AI
Recommends Near Me.
Customers no longer just search “dentist near me” — they ask AI assistants “Who is the best family dentist in my area open on Saturdays?” and get a short list of names. Local AI SEO makes sure your business is on that list, with accurate details, strong reviews, and a clear reason to choose you.

What Is
Local AI SEO?
Local AI SEO is the optimization of a local or multi-location business so AI assistants and AI search features recommend it for location-based questions. It builds on traditional local SEO — Google Business Profile, reviews, citations — and adds the signals AI engines use to choose and describe local providers.
AI answers for local questions are built from your business profiles, review sites, directories, local news, and your own location pages. When those sources are complete, consistent, and rich in detail — services, hours, areas served, specialisms — AI can confidently recommend you for specific needs instead of defaulting to the biggest name in town.

OngoingHow Local AI SEO
Works in Practice.
A typical program for a multi-location healthcare provider.
Getting a dental group recommended in AI answers across its locations
A dental group with several clinics found that AI assistants recommended a few competitors for prompts like “best emergency dentist near me” — even in neighbourhoods where the group had the closest, best-reviewed clinic.
The Challenge
- ▸Incomplete service lists on business profiles
- ▸Inconsistent clinic details across directories
- ▸Reviews rarely mentioned specific treatments
- ▸Thin, near-duplicate location pages
Our Approach
- ▸Tested 15 local prompts per clinic across four AI engines
- ▸Completed and aligned every profile and directory listing
- ▸Rebuilt each location page with services, FAQs and schema
- ▸Launched a review request flow asking about specific treatments
What We Measure
- ▸Recommendation rate per clinic and prompt
- ▸Profile completeness and listing accuracy
- ▸Review volume, rating and keyword mentions
- ▸Calls, direction requests and online bookings
This is an illustrative engagement showing how we typically run Local AI SEO. It is not a specific client result. Ask us for real, anonymised client outcomes on a call.
