## Questions and answers

### What is local AI search for business?

It is optimising a business's online presence so that AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) and Google AI Overviews recommend it for geo-targeted queries: "best restaurant near me", "dentist in Valencia", "car repair near me". For a business these are the same customers as from the map, only arriving through an assistant.

### How does local AI search differ from classic local SEO?

Local SEO is about positions in Google's regular organic results. Local AI search means getting into AI Overviews and AI assistant answers, which appear above organic results. Technically they use the same signals (GBP, NAP, reviews, Schema.org), but AI answers rely more heavily on data structure and citability.

### What is NAP consistency and why does it matter?

NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone. Consistency means these details are identical across the website, Google Business Profile, Yelp, Páginas Amarillas and all directories. Discrepancies reduce algorithm trust in the business and lower the chances of appearing in AI answers.

### How many reviews are needed to appear in Google AI Overviews?

There is no exact threshold, but BrightLocal data and practice show that businesses with 50+ reviews and a rating of 4.5+ have significantly better chances. The number is not the only thing that matters; freshness does too. Reviews from the last 3-6 months carry more weight than old ones. A steady stream of new reviews matters more than a one-time burst.

### How does Schema.org help appear in AI answers?

Schema.org is markup that AI parsers read directly without having to "guess" context. LocalBusiness transmits the address, phone, geo-coordinates and establishment type in machine-readable format. FAQPage delivers questions and answers that AI cites verbatim. Without markup, the algorithm must interpret unstructured text, which reduces accuracy and the chance of appearing in the answer.

### Do you need a separate website for each city in Spain?

No. Separate landing pages for each city with unique content, a local keyword and Schema.org markup are enough. For a business in Valencia with clients in Madrid or Barcelona, pages like /servicios/madrid and /servicios/barcelona with adapted content solve the task without a new domain.

### How quickly does a business appear in local AI answers after optimisation?

First changes to Google Business Profile are indexed within 1-2 weeks. The full effect of the GBP + Schema.org + reviews combination is usually visible within 90 days. Competitive niches require more time and more active review acquisition. Progress is tracked against the query list fixed at the start.

### Does local AI search work for B2B companies?

Yes, especially for professional services: law firms, accountancies, marketing agencies, IT companies. B2B clients also search for "agency nearby" or "lawyer in Valencia" through AI. GBP, reviews and Schema.org work for B2B just as well as for B2C. For B2B we add profiles in industry directories.

### What is included in the local AI search service at SEO7.ES?

### What share of people search for local businesses online?

According to BrightLocal, more than 98% of consumers search for local businesses online. Increasingly this search happens through AI assistants and Google AI Overviews, so your local business profile must be clear to them too.

### In which languages should you fill in the Google Business profile for AI?

We fill in categories, attributes, opening hours, photos and description in three languages. This way AI assistants find the business through searches by locals, the Russian-speaking diaspora and foreigners.

### Which directories should a business be listed in for local AI search?
