How Google and Maps choose

Two ways customers find you: the map pack and AI Overviews

Google’s local pack still dominates location-based searches. A Whitespark case study found AI Overviews appeared for only 15% of local-intent queries, and the two rarely appear together.

AI Overviews, which Google generates at the top of results, are common for “how” and “why” questions. They pull from high-authority content across the web. Local packs are not going away, so both matter.

How ChatGPT and Gemini choose

AI assistants answer local questions from listings and proof

Major AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity use directory listings such as Yelp, Google Business Profile and Foursquare to answer local search questions, often before showing a single website.

That is why consistent citations, a complete profile and real reviews matter. They are the sources AI reads before it recommends a business.

City Pages

Give every town you serve its own page

Google’s AI Overviews advice: build topical authority, publish content that answers your customers’ questions and use your business name together with the topics people search.

A page for each community you serve puts that into practice. Learn how City Pages work, or see the areas we serve.
