WHAT IS LOCAL + AI SEO?
Your customers research with AI, then book locally.
Will they find you at both steps?
Local + AI SEO is built for businesses that serve customers from a physical location, where people research before they choose. It's ideal for businesses such as health clinics, dental and legal practices, vets and accounting firms.
Before making contact, your customers look into their problem, compare options and increasingly ask AI tools for advice. Then they look for a trusted provider nearby. Local AI SEO makes sure your business is visible at both stages: as the expert source while they research, and as the local choice when they’re ready to book.
At DigitUX, you work directly with a dedicated senior Search + AI Specialist who plans and delivers your strategy personally. We keep our overheads lean and focus on the work that moves your results. The outcome? A high-quality, personal SEO service at a price that's affordable for Australian businesses.
Visibility across the AI platforms your customers use
Local + AI
Why combine them?
Two searches.
One strategy.
Local SEO puts your business in front of people nearby who are ready to book, through Google Maps, the local pack and your Google Business Profile.
AI SEO builds your visibility earlier, when people are researching their problem, comparing options and asking AI tools for advice.
For businesses whose customers research before they choose, these two stages are closely linked. Strong local signals help AI tools recommend you for "near me" questions, and helpful, expert content gives Google and AI platforms more reasons to trust you.
Our Local + AI SEO packages bring both together under one strategy, one specialist and one monthly report, so every part of your search presence works towards the same goal: more enquiries and bookings.

Your Questions Answered
Local + AI SEO combines Local SEO and AI SEO into one strategy. It helps your business appear in Google Maps and local search when customers are ready to book, and in Google and AI-generated answers while they're still researching.
It suits businesses that serve customers from a physical location, where people research before they choose, including clinics, dental and legal practices, vets, accountants and specialist services. If your customers mostly search "near me" and book quickly, Local SEO may be the better fit. If you sell online or Australia-wide, AI SEO is usually the better fit.
For businesses whose customers research before they book, local and AI visibility are closely linked. Strong local signals help AI platforms recommend you for "near me" questions, and expert content builds the trust that supports your Google Maps rankings. Combining them means one strategy, one specialist and one monthly report, with every part of your search presence working towards more enquiries and bookings, and better value than two separate services.
Yes. Every package includes ongoing Google Business Profile optimisation and management, along with map ranking tracking across your service area.
Yes, that's exactly what Local + AI SEO is designed to do. We strengthen the local, content, authority and entity signals that ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews rely on when recommending businesses, while building your Google Maps rankings too. No agency can guarantee inclusion or a particular position in AI answers, but we track your visibility through a set of real prompts each month so you can see your progress.
We set up a simple, compliant process for requesting reviews after appointments and guide you on responding to them. We follow Google’s review policies and never use incentives or fake reviews. For regulated health practices, we also take the relevant advertising guidelines into account.
The one-off setup fee covers everything needed to launch your campaign properly. This includes a full audit of your website, Google Business Profile, local rankings and AI visibility, your custom strategy with a 90-Day Roadmap and 12-Month Plan, and setup of analytics, conversion, keyword, map ranking and AI prompt tracking.
After your initial 6 months, your plan continues month to month, with no new lock-in contract. You can stay on your current plan, change plans or cancel with 30 days' written notice. Most clients choose to continue so they can build on their early results, as SEO and AI visibility grow stronger over time.
Local improvements, such as Google Business Profile changes, often show earlier than content and authority work, which builds over time. Every campaign starts with a 90-day roadmap focused on the highest-impact priorities, and progress is tracked from the first month.
Every package includes a monthly report covering your Google Maps rankings across your service area, keyword rankings, AI visibility across tracked prompts, website traffic and the enquiries, calls and bookings that matter to your business.
Yes. Each location needs its own optimised Google Business Profile and location page, so additional locations are quoted separately based on your markets and goals.
