In Part 2 of Near Media’s conversation with Garrett Sussman, the discussion shifts from AI personalization theory to the real-world impact on local search, SEO, reviews, attribution, and marketing strategy.
Garrett joins Greg Sterling and Mike Blumenthal to explore how Google’s growing use of behavioral data, Gmail, Calendar, Maps, reviews, and AI Mode could fundamentally reshape local discovery.
The group discusses:
AI-driven local recommendations
Why direct mail showed up in AI Mode
The future of Google Business Profiles
How marketers should rethink SEO measurement
Persona-based AI testing
Reviews and reputation in AI search
Whether AI will ultimately simplify or complicate marketing
This episode is both a warning and a roadmap for marketers navigating the shift from traditional search to the coming personalized AI-driven discovery.
