At Advice Local, we’re always cooking up something to help our agency and local marketing partners stay ahead of the game in local search. Today, we’re excited (and proud!) to add an AI tool to our product offering.

Meet AI Presence Amplifier, our newest AI tool. This new tool features an AI Publisher Score (APS) that helps you understand a business’ data available on large language models (LLM) and AI. Another important feature of this product is that our AI tool will correct the business’ data via API or manually, depending on what is needed. In essence, AI Presence Amplifier analyzes and optimizes the business’ data.

It’s important for our agency partners to understand how their local business clients are performing in desktop, mobile search, and the AI answer engines. This is where our latest solution, AI Presence Amplifier, comes in.

Meet Advice Local’s Newest AI Tool – AI Presence Amplifier

Now, to keep you ahead of other agencies and keep your clients satisfied with how you’re tackling AI and bringing in more sales, let’s review the new Advice Local product, AI Presence Amplifier. We are currently in alpha testing, so there will be updates and changes. You’ll need to request a demo to get a peek at the new AI tool. If you are a current platform partner, please contact your account manager to participate in the alpha testing.

What Does Advice Local’s AI Presence Amplifier Tool Do?

Within your partner dashboard, you can see a business’ visibility percentage based on how consistently its structured data appears across generative AI chatbots, via the aforementioned AI Publisher Score (APS).

This score is based on how much of a business’ data is complete, correct, and structured to meet the demands of traditional and generative search.

For the first time, we’ve applied a dynamic scoring algorithm to AI visibility, calculating a score only against the data that’s available or detectable at scan time. This means the score evolves as more business attributes are surfaced, corrected, or structured for AI engines.

Up to now, consistent data in search engine results pages (SERPs) and directories has been the major key. And in addition to those listings, data must be consistent in any and all sources that AI chatbots utilize (and there are many). This means the data currently returned can be mismatched.

How You Get Access to AI Presence Amplifier in Your Partner Dashboard

AI Presence Amplifier is for businesses with active listing management within your partner dashboard. This product is an add-on to our listing management services, which ensures that businesses are easily found online through the most important directories, data aggregators, GPS and mapping apps.

For those wishing to participate in alpha testing, access already exists within your easy-to-use partner dashboard. The report generates just like the listing management Baseline report. When a scan is completed, so is the AI scan.

From your partner dashboard you’ll be able to select the AI tab to review the business’ APS score. For businesses with inconsistency issues, you simply go to the order screen to place the order. The cost is $10 per business per month (for any business with active listing management).

The Chatbots AI Presence Amplifier Searches

During alpha testing, Advice Local AI Presence Amplifier tool reflects the data from ChatGPT, Gemini, CoPilot and Perplexity. We will soon add Grok, which is integrated into X (formerly Twitter). These are the most used AI chatbots, and in the case of Gemini and CoPilot, they are integrated into their search engine counterparts. They touch so many aspects of traditional search, like Google Business Profiles and Bing Places.

Business Attributes AI Presence Amplifier Monitors for Consistency

AI Presence Amplifier checks seven attributes. These are aligned with other markers within Advice Local tools for consistency. These attributes are flagged as “Consistent,” “Inconsistent,” or “Missing.” See the categories below.

1. Description
2. Location/Business Name
3. Address
4. Phone Number
5. Website
6. Primary Category
7. Secondary Category

How AI Presence Amplifier Helps Local Businesses

AI Presence Amplifier helps your agency detect and resolve misrepresented citations before they cost your visibility and the trust of your clients. From missed phone numbers to wrong business categories, every issue is flagged and resolved via API or manual request, right inside your dashboard. And as with each of our tools, it makes it easy to make multiple corrections, saving time, money, and ultimately keeping clients happy.

Generative AI, GEO (generative engine optimization) and AEO (answer engine optimization) are here, they are the next evolution of SEO. They are not a trend to prepare for, they are the current reality we work within. Too many organizations don’t see what information about them is available to consumers, and they are suffering for it.

AI-generated answer snippets in SERPs may contain (and for many organizations, do contain) incorrect data. This frustrates consumers and costs businesses potential customers, clients, patients and patrons. AI Presence Amplifier helps you identify, organize and unify data, ensuring a consistent experience no matter what avenue someone uses to search.

Generative engine optimization (GEO) is no longer optional. AI engines are transforming the way customers discover and choose local businesses. AI Presence Amplifier equips you to control how a business appears across the AI landscape, rather than leaving it to chance. At Advice Local we pride ourselves on remaining up-to-date (and often ahead of the curve) to provide our partners, agencies and local marketers with the tools that make us all succeed.

With the search and AI advancements that occur almost daily, this AI tool will help you to further take control of a business’ data when and where users are searching the most.

If you are a current Advice Local partner, please email your account manager to learn more about getting access to our new AI tool.

As every local agency knows, change is a constant in the world of digital marketing. Everything from the marketing channels you target to the local SEO software you use is evolving continuously. For brands to remain relevant and competitive, they must stay agile and keep up with emerging technologies and trends. Integrating these new approaches with timeless strategies is a tried and true way to succeed in today’s digital marketing environment.

What Local Marketing Strategies Are Working Right Now?

Recognizing the trends worth following and the strategies that are likely to provide positive results is a challenge. By working with local marketing experts like Advice Local, you can leverage proven tools and methods trusted by a wide range of partners and sites. Here are some of the strategies we recommend using today.

Embrace Digital Marketing Tools

Digital marketing tools help agencies streamline the management of client websites and Google Business Profiles (GBP), as well as other platforms. By integrating technology you can improve efficiency, automate tasks and make data-driven decisions. Take our own listing management software and directory network as an example. Rather than expending time and money in building such a network, you can simply tap into our finely-tuned solution.

Choose Quality Over Quantity

Whether you’re building citations or creating content, Google and other platforms have made it clear that quality will be rewarded over quantity. If your approach to promoting a local business client involves getting citations from every available directory, that tactic needs to be reconsidered. Instead, build links with high-quality authority sites and only publish content that offers value to the target audience.

Target Consumers Wherever They Are Active

Online marketing helps businesses reach customers where they are most responsive. For example, a local company will benefit from reaching those nearby who are searching via GPS mapping or in-dash apps. Whether conducting local searches or checking reviews, understanding where consumers are active makes it easier to reach them.

Use Omnichannel Marketing

A consistent marketing strategy over multiple channels provides an uninterrupted customer experience. You want consumers to see a cohesive brand identity across a business website, social media, search engines, business directories and mobile apps. Consequently, they will develop a stronger connection with the brand, and this leads to increased trust, loyalty and conversions.

Optimize for Voice Search

In recent years the way that people search for businesses and information has evolved (and this change is on-going). Voice searches using virtual assistants typically reward more conversational content. Voice app technology helps you manage clients’ content for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and others.

Don’t Limit Your Marketing to Google

There’s an understandable tendency to focus digital marketing efforts exclusively on Google as Google Search, Maps and GBP are crucial for local business marketing. However, don’t miss out on the many additional options – local directories like BubbleLife, DexKnows, Bing Places for Business and Yelp, along with social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

Guard Your Business’ Reputation

A business’ online reputation is more important than ever. Poor reviews and a diminished brand reputation will impact visibility in Google, and make customers think twice when deciding which product or service to buy. A review monitoring tool gives a direct insight into customer sentiment, and also lets you clean up many issues with quick review responses.

As digital marketing becomes increasingly competitive, local marketers and agencies must continue to find innovative ways to offer value to clients. High-quality listing management services are an ever-present part of this process that helps businesses optimize their local presence. An effective way to leverage the power of this strategy today is to become a business listing management reseller.

What Are the Benefits of Becoming a Business Listing Management Reseller?

A business listing management reseller partners with an established business like Advice Local to sell a comprehensive suite of local SEO and directory tools. Whether you’re a new local marketer wanting access to cutting-edge tools for your clients or an established agency looking for an edge, choosing to resell existing services is often the smart move. Let’s examine some of the benefits of reselling agency solutions.

Take Advantage of the Demand for Local SEO

The growth of local search has dramatically changed how businesses reach customers. Even small local stores can benefit from an online presence, as customers search for more information and reviews before visiting. But simply having a presence is not enough – you need complete listings with optimization and updates. For instance, this data from Google indicates that customers are 70% more likely to visit a business with a complete Google Business Profile. As a reseller, you can capitalize on this need for listing management with first-rate services.

Expand Your Business Services

Many businesses prefer to purchase local search and listing management services from a single provider. Resellers can position themselves as a one-stop shop for digital services by leveraging Advice Local’s suite of products. When your existing services are not fully meeting client needs, it might be time to shop business listing management providers.

Earn Recurring Income

Due to the need for monitoring and updates, resellers of local presence management services can operate with a recurring subscription model. Because business listing submission, optimization and modification are not one-time tasks, a reseller with a list of clients can achieve longer-term financial stability from monthly payments.

Avoid Expensive Development Costs

Business listing management services require ongoing development costs to keep up with platform changes. For most local marketers and agencies, the upfront expense of building a distribution engine (with its recurring management costs) is prohibitively expensive. It’s far easier to partner with a dedicated provider, so you can focus on client acquisition and customer service, along with other aspects.

Stand Out in a Competitive Market

Businesses interested in local marketing services have plenty of choices. However, with the right tools and track record it’s still possible to stand out. At Advice Local, our resellers gain access to a comprehensive listing network of search engines, premium directories, mapping app platforms and more. We’re also meticulous with our listing submission approach, using both APIs and manual submissions.

Scale Your Digital Agency

To scale a digital agency you need to deliver a consistently high standard of service for an expanding client base. Resellers get access to a finely tuned listing distribution system and are able to submit and modify listings in real time. Local SEO software of this kind ensures that agencies can provide the same level of service even as client numbers grow.
