How to Use Search AI Recommendations to Improve Visibility, Engagement, and Search Performance

Search AI Recommendations help you identify actionable improvements to increase your visibility across AI-powered search experiences. These AI-generated recommendations analyze your business's online presence and suggest changes that can improve metrics such as visibility, accuracy, and content relevance.

Recommendations are now generated at the location level rather than the brand level, making them more specific and actionable. Each recommendation includes the affected location, the associated Search AI theme, its expected impact, and a comparison with competitors to help you prioritize optimization efforts.
