YouTube might be doing more for local search than you think.
In retail searches that triggered a Google AI Overview, YouTube appeared as a cited source in 23% of answers.
Ahead of Amazon, Reddit, and Wikipedia!
So the videos you publish about locations, products, services, and customer questions can give AI more context about what you do and where you do it.
A store tour, local how-to, customer story, or product explainer could end up helping people discover you long after you post it. 👀
Which is a pretty good reason to stop neglecting YouTube.
Thanks, Laura. 🙏🏼💜
