How Google’s AI Mode Is Rewriting Local Search

Google has quietly flipped the script on search — and your business might already be invisible.

In this game-changing episode, Adam and Josh expose how Google’s new AI Mode is reshaping how local businesses are discovered (or skipped). The old rules of keywords and rankings no longer apply. You're not just trying to rank — you're trying to be selected by AI.

You’ll discover:

• What Google’s AI Mode really is — and how it’s already live in the US and rolling out globally

• Why traditional SEO tools and rank trackers are now misleading you

• How Google’s AI breaks down your site passage by passage — not page by page

• What “query fan-out,” “custom corpus,” and “pairwise prompting” mean for your content

• Five advanced but practical steps to optimise your local business for AI-driven selection, not just search

Whether you’re a florist, plumber, solicitor, or estate agent, this episode will give you a crystal-clear roadmap to stay visible in a world where AI makes the decisions.

💡 Key takeaway:

You’re no longer ranked. You’re either selected — or ignored. And the AI decides.
