What Is Local SEO — and Why Does Your Business Need It in 2026?
📌 Definition: Local SEO
Local SEO (Local Search Engine Optimisation) is the practice of optimising a business’s online presence to appear prominently in Google Maps, the Local Pack, and AI-generated answers when nearby customers search for relevant services. It combines Google Business Profile optimisation, localised content, schema markup, citations, and link authority to drive high-intent traffic from people ready to buy — in a specific geographic area.
What Is AI-Driven SEO (AEO & GEO)?
📌 Definition: AEO / GEO
Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) are next-generation SEO strategies designed to make your brand visible inside AI-generated answers — including Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and voice assistants. This involves structured content, entity optimisation, schema markup, and topical authority that teach AI models when and why to recommend your business.
