Hello @Mike Clay @Brian Willie quick query. I am having 3 business location for my software training institute in city Chennai. OMR Porur Medavakkam Porur and Medavakkam are ranking in top 5, but when I search for OMR related keywords I am mostly seeing Medavakkam and Porur GBP pages. What could be the reason for this? Also How I can improve the relevance for OMR, so it can start rank. TIA Siva

Hi @Mike Clay and everyone, I am working with a client who has Software Training Institute who provides 20+ programming courses in 3 locations namely OMR, Porur and Medavakkam in Chennai which is the city. Course pages are ranking well in organic and when it comes to maps, We are struggling. So I have created a silo under the locations for every course pages like the below. Omr/aws-job-training Porur/selenium-training Do you think the city + course pages in any way blocks the ranking of location specific pages. Thanks in advance

Hello @Mike Clay and everyone, I am working with a client who has 3 locations. domain.com/omr domain.com/porur domain.com/medavakkam OMR has population of 8,653,521, Medavakkam has 178,447 and Porur has 30,060. How many geo hub pages can I create and what I should know regarding selecting location for geo hub pages. Also what is the criteria to choose how many geo pages we should create. P.S Would you mind sharing some example Thanks in advance Siva

Hey there, This might be the most important post you've read in the last year. There’s a massive shift happening right now in local search — and most agencies and business owners have no clue it’s already affecting them. It’s not just about Maps rankings or website traffic anymore. That was the last game. The new game? AI-driven platforms — like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Alexa — are now answering people’s local questions directly… ...without showing your website. ...without showing your map listing. This is what’s called a zero-click search — and it’s exploding. And not just on Google, but directly in chat bots. Soon, most people will only get their answers inside a chat bot. No one clicks. No one visits. They just read the answer and move on. The Big Fat Problem: If your business — or your client’s — isn’t showing up in those answers, you're gone. No clicks. No calls. No visibility. Just… missing from the conversation entirely. And here’s the kicker — you won’t even realize it’s happening. Your rankings might still look fine. Your site traffic might not tank. But leads will slow down. Clients will start asking questions. And you’ll have no idea why. This is exactly like the Maps vs Organic wake-up call back in 2016 or so, but now it’s happening across every modern search surface — and it’s spreading fast. We’ve been thinking about putting together a low cost training that shows what’s really going on here — and how to fix it before it’s too late. If we did that, would you want to see it? Just hit reply and say “interested” if this sounds like something we should put together. Warmly, Brian and Mike Maps Liftoff Team
