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.

01 — Business 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.

02 — Discovery

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.

03 — AI

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.

04 — Infrastructure

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.

05 — Positioning

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.
