From Rankings to Answers
Traditional SEO focused on where you rank.
Modern visibility focuses on whether AI selects you as the answer.
Google’s AI-driven experiences now analyze:
-
Website About pages
-
Service descriptions
-
Google Business Profiles
The Role of Clear Entity Signals
AI needs consistent signals:
-
Business type
-
Service area
-
Audience
When these are missing, businesses lose out — even if they have great websites.
One Best Practice for 2026+
Front-load clarity.
Your GBP description should start with:
-
Who you help
-
Where you help them
-
What problem you solve
This helps Google confidently surface your business in AI-powered search experiences.
