Welcome to AI Marketing Experts, the show where smart marketers use AI to work smarter, not harder.
In this episode, we unpack why Ask Maps is overtaking traditional GBP Q&A, what the new AI-mode local SERP looks like, and how to protect your visibility with on-site FAQs + schema. We also show real-world workflows with Gemini 3 (Android Auto + Google Home), Google Slides “Beautify,” NotebookLM, and Perplexity Comment as an agent browser for ops automation.
You’ll see what actually works day-to-day—like prepping your website so Google’s AI can quote you, using car voice search to understand real local intent, and turning meeting notes into checklists inside ClickUp and Google Sheets.
