AI visibility work depends on matching the right model, search surface, or answer format to the business outcome being optimized.
I was just talking to your grandpa on Facebook and he told me that someone had given him a local SEO tip that if you want to rank better in Google's local results, you should add keywords to your Google Business Profile description. No, that's what I meant, not help your rank. Google does not use the description in the local search algorithm.
The interesting thing though, this is new, is that we are seeing content from Google Business Profile descriptions show up in AI results.
So maybe chat, GBT and Gemini, they're considering the description cause really it's just in just content. So that's different. So maybe there's some value there.
But one moment.
So you're gonna write this description not for rankings, you're gonna write it for humans to convince that you are a good business that they want to go to and tell them how long you've been in business and what sets you apart from the competition. So, and tell your grandpa not to get his SEO advice from Facebook. Bye for now.

Map each AI/search surface to a task: answer extraction, public copy, citation mining, checkout readiness, media generation, or customer-intent capture.
