Will AI Recommend You? How to Be the #1 Local Pick in ChatGPT, Alexa, and Beyond

AI tools like ChatGPT, Alexa, and Google’s Search Generative Experience are changing how customers find and choose service providers—and most local businesses aren’t ready.

This high-impact workshop will help local, service-based businesses understand how AI search works, why it’s different from traditional SEO, and what you can do right now to boost your visibility. We'll focus on practical, doable strategies specifically for service-based businesses.

Together, we'll create a personalized action plan and get hands-on with two key areas that AI uses to choose which businesses to recommend: Google Business Profile optimization and AI-friendly website content. We’ll also cover what to prioritize next and how to build long-term visibility into your existing workflows.

Attendees will walk away with a toolkit including:

- Google Business Profile optimization checklist

- AI review response tool “Review Responder GPT”

- Local Listings/NAP tracking template

- Blog post/FAQ rewrite worksheet

- AI Visibility 30-Day Action Plan

- Monthly AI Maintenance Checklist (quick habits, not another full-time job)

Ginny’s workshops are hands-on, high-energy, and built for action, so come with your laptop charged and ready to get things done!
