Description

Configure LocalFalcon campaigns to benchmark and track client visibility in local AI-generated search results (Google AI Overviews, Gemini, ChatGPT).

Goal

Benchmark local AI search engine visibility and set up monthly monitoring.

Definitions / Prerequisites

• LocalFalcon: Local search visibility and ranking tracker.

Workflow

Step 1: Create a new campaign

1. Log in to LocalFalcon.
2. Navigate to Reports > Campaign Reports > Create New Campaign.
3. Name the campaign following the standard format: (CID) Company Name - AI Benchmark.

Step 2: Configure grid and platforms

1. Set the Grid parameters: 5x5 grid, 3 miles radius.
2. Under "Scan Platforms", add the following target platforms:
   • Google AI Overviews
   • Gemini
   • AI Mode
   • ChatGPT

Step 3: Associate location and add keywords

1. Add the business location: Connect by Text Search or Place ID.
2. Enter the benchmark keywords (customizing variables to the client's business type, e.g. plumbing, HVAC, electrical):
   • Who is the best [company type] near me?
   • What company should I choose for [service1]?
   • What company do you recommend for [service1]?
3. Select Yes for "Generate AI Analysis".

Step 4: Schedule and notification settings

1. Set the scans to run automatically every month.
2. Configure email notifications: Select No for "Send email after every campaign run" to avoid inbox clutter.

QA / Troubleshooting

• Place ID Match: Ensure the location connects to the correct Google Business Profile via Place ID.
• Weekly Scans: Cadence can be set to weekly only if the client's tier explicitly includes it. By default, it must be monthly.
