How Local Businesses Are Using AI + SEO to Attract More Clients
Sooo, you’ve probably noticed all the controversial chatter about AI:
“AI is taking over.”
”AI is going to end humanity”
”AI is making my life easier”
There are some passionate opinions on both sides of the AI coin.
Love it or hate it, here’s what most local business owners aren’t hearing that I think they should know:
In my opinion, AI itself isn’t taking your clients.
However, I think it will become more likely that someone using AI strategically will.
I wanna talk about how smart local business owners, just like you - are using a combo of AI and marketing tools to actually get found and consistently book clients. (Less hustlin’, more livin’ baby)
The Real Visibility Gap
If you’re anything like most small biz owners you’ve probably been:
Posting regularly on Instagram
Relying on referrals or word-of-mouth
Wondering why your website feels invisible
Meanwhile, someone else in your field is using AI + SEO tools to:
Discover what people are searching for
Create content and find keywords that rank on Google
Optimize their Google Business Profile
Book more aligned clients while you’re still spinning your wheels
It’s not that they’re better than you, they are just using the tools efficiently. When you use these tools, you’re working smarter, not harder. Since SEO is a long-term, non-negotiable marketing strategy, why not use AI tools to be more efficient so you’re business actually works for you - not the other way around.
5 Ways AI + SEO Are Helping Local Businesses Get Found
1. They Know What Their Clients Are Googling
Using tools like ChatGPT, Keyword Planner, Google Search Console & Ubersuggest, business owners are finding the exact phrases people type into search engines and creating content around them.
This is the kind of support you’ll get in my SEO Strategy Calls. (cuz keyword crap is boring and confusing, I know!)
2. They’re Blogging Strategically
AI makes writing blog posts easier than ever. With a few prompts, you can create content that:
Educates your clients
Boosts your authority
Ranks on Google for niche searches like “naturopath in Vancouver”

3. They’re Optimizing Google Business Profiles

4. They’re Repurposing Smarter
One blog post can become:
A week’s worth of social posts
Email newsletter content
Instagram captions and Reels
This is good marketing strategy, none of us have to be in content chaos anymore.
Heck, maybe you won’t have to hire an SEO or content marketer.
5. They’re Building Authority, Without Burning Out
Instead of chasing trends, why not let AI + Google work for you in the background. Set up AI automations (like a free download that is automatically sent when someone signs up for your newsletter)
If that sounds too good to be true, I assure you - it’s not. It’s about having a marketing strategy and setting it up so you don’t have to tackle all those menial and boring repetitive tasks. This will free you up to focus on the human side of your business.
You Don’t Have to Be Techy, Just Be Open To Change
AI doesn’t replace your voice, it enhances it and your reach.
