Local AI Search optimization for Retail Teams
Front is an AI-native consultancy that helps Retail Teams optimize their Business Profiles and convert the high-intent consumer in Local AI Searches.
Stay ahead of the shift in Local Search
Search is shifting. Fast. AI-powered local discovery means customers increasingly see only a few - sometimes just one, recommended stores instead of the usual list on Google Maps.
What does this mean?
If your profiles aren’t optimized, the risk is simple: they’ll be pointed to a competitor.
We make sure your digital storefront is up-to-date
…so you don’t have to.
Local Search - the primary battleground where digital intent is converted into physical revenue. How to win? You build the best user experience in your Business Profiles, for both humans and AI.
We’ve built a system and framework that meets the challenges of optimizing Business Profiles for Big Retail Teams, even with hundreds of locations.
That means tapping into your existing workflows, using AI to empower and to have human expertise in charge.
