Traditional SEO isn’t enough anymore, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Grok, Gemini, etc. now decide which pages get cited in generative answers. They score your page across these 8 weighted metrics (higher weight = bigger impact). Quick summary of each:

Answerability:

Delivers a clear, complete answer in the first 300–500 words (strong intro, bolded key points, early questions, FAQ/HowTo schema, step-by-step language). AI wants instant resolution—pages that answer fast get 2–5× more citations and lower bounce rates.

Structured Data:

Valid JSON-LD Schema markup (Article/BlogPosting, FAQPage, HowTo, Person/author). Makes content machine-readable → higher chance of rich results, accurate AI summaries, and fewer hallucinations.

EEAT Signals:

Visible author bylines, publish/update dates, trusted outbound links, HTTPS. Proves real expertise + trust → AI (and Google) heavily favors these pages for YMYL and general topics.

Scannability:

Lots of headings (H2–H4), bullet/numbered lists, tables, short paragraphs (<35 words). Humans skim in <8 seconds; AI extracts facts more reliably from hierarchical, skimmable content.

Conversational Tone:

Direct “you/your”, “I/we”, real questions in body text, empathy for reader pain points. Feels human and helpful → AI prefers relatable writing, users stay longer, trust builds faster.

Readability:

High Flesch score, varied sentence lengths, low passive voice, few complex words. Easy-to-read content boosts dwell time and accurate AI parsing (less misquoting).

Unique Insights:

1500–2000+ words, first-hand phrases (“I tested”, “our data shows”), recent examples, case studies/quotes. AI ignores generic rehashes—original, experience-based value gets cited way more often.

Anti-AI Safety:

Natural sentence variation, low word repetition, no robotic patterns. Avoids AI-content penalties—search engines increasingly downrank or ignore machine-sounding text.

Local SEO isn’t simply about citations anymore, it’s about sending crystal-clear signals to Google (and users) that your page is the right fit for “near me” or “in town/city” searches. In 2026, the biggest wins still come from on-page factors you can fix.

Here’s the short version of the six modules it checks, what each one actually measures, and why they drive Local Pack / Maps visibility + conversions:

1. NAP & Contact Signals

NAP = Name, Address, Phone. This is still the foundation. Google uses it to confirm your business identity and location. The tool scans for visible NAP (especially in footer/contact), clickable phone links, hours markup, and semantic tags like <address>.

Why it matters: Inconsistent or missing NAP is a top reason pages drop out of the top 3 in the Local Pack. It builds entity trust, helps with Knowledge Panels, and reduces bounce rates by 25–40% when users see clear contact info right away.

2. Local Keywords & Titles

Look at your title tag, meta description, and headings (H1–H3) for natural local intent: city name, “in Sydney”, “near me”, “Sydney plumber”, etc.

Why it matters: Geo-modified titles are one of the strongest on-page ranking factors left. They boost CTR, match voice/AI searches, reduce bounce rates, and help Google/AI Overviews understand your service area instantly.

3. Local Content & Relevance

Check the actual body content for natural city mentions, “areas we serve”, “nearby”, suburb names, etc. Rewards 3–8 thoughtful uses, caps the score to prevent gaming.

Why it matters: Proves genuine local relevance beyond titles. Pages with real location-specific depth outrank generic ones in competitive packs, perform better in AI summaries, and keep users engaged longer (lower bounce, higher conversions).

4. Maps & Visuals

Detects embedded Google Maps iframes and images with local alt text (e.g. “Our Sydney CBD team”). Capped points for quality over quantity.

Why it matters: Embedded maps are a direct Map Pack booster and build instant trust. Local alt text helps image search + accessibility, and visuals cut bounce while improving mobile directions clicks.

5. Structured Data

Parses JSON-LD for complete LocalBusiness schema: name/address/phone, geo coordinates, detailed opening hours.

Why it matters: Powers rich results (stars, hours, directions) that lift. Geo coords feed accurate Map Pins and Knowledge Panels. Essential for entity clarity in AI/voice search and 2026 entity-first ranking.

6. Reviews & Structure

Look for aggregateRating schema (stars + count), a proper canonical tag, and internal links with local patterns (e.g. /sydney, suburb names in anchors).

Why it matters: Star ratings in SERPs are a massive CTR booster. Canonicals prevent duplicate issues, geo-links build topical clusters, and together they signal trust/authority, huge for Local Pack stability.

Small tweaks here often deliver outsized results: more impressions, clicks, calls, and foot traffic.

Which of these six do you see as the most important that perform well in the Map SERPs?

What’s the #1 product page SEO fix that’s still working for you guys in 2026?

I recently published a complete Product Page SEO help guide. It breaks down some important pillars that move the needle.

On-Page basics (titles 50–60 chars with keyword front-load, clean H1, natural density.

Technical must-haves (viewport meta still killing mobile scores, perfect canonicals, HTTPS/no mixed content).

Content & media (300–800 word benefit-focused descriptions + descriptive image alts + lazy loading + UGC/reviews).

E-commerce signals (full Product + Offer + AggregateRating schema → 20–35% CTR lift from rich snippets with stars/price/stock).

Quick reality check from 2026 data in the guide:

Missing schema? You’re leaving rich results (and clicks) on the table.

Bad mobile UX? Google’s mobile-first indexing + 55–70% mobile ecommerce traffic = pain.

Thin descriptions? Hurts dwell time and Helpful Content signals hard.

The guide includes:
