Insights

Perspectives on the Local + AI Era.

Working positions on how businesses will be discovered, represented and connected next. These are viewpoints in progress, published as the thinking develops.

01 — Perspectives

What we are thinking about.

01Business Records

From Website Management to Business Record Management.

The authoritative information representing a business is becoming an asset in its own right — created, claimed, verified, structured, maintained and distributed.

02Discovery

Be Discoverable Wherever Discovery Happens.

Discovery is spreading across search, maps, marketplaces, local media and AI answers. Consistency and structure travel further than any single channel.

03AI

AI That Does Work, Not Just Generates Content.

The useful applications in local business are unglamorous: clean data, prepared knowledge, and workflows that reduce the operating load.

04Infrastructure

Services Connected to Infrastructure.

The traditional model runs agency to campaign to third-party platform. A connected model starts at the business record and ends at customers, search and AI.

05Positioning

The Next Generation of Local Marketing Won't Just Be About Marketing.

It will be about identity, data, distribution and intelligence — and the organizations able to hold those together.
