Geo-targeted intent at scale.
Tradies, clinics, agents — every local-services category is being queried in ChatGPT with "near me" intent. Geo targeting works platform-natively.
The single fastest CAC arbitrage of 2026.
Plumbers, clinics, real-estate agents — all categories where buyers ask ChatGPT for a local recommendation. We run geo-targeted AI-ad campaigns and lead-routing for operators across the US, UK, and AU.
Three reasons local-services compounds first.
CACs are still in CAC-arbitrage territory.
Most local-services CACs on AI ads are below Google LSA and well below paid-social. We expect this gap to close by mid-2027 — the window is right now.
The aggregator economy is being routed around.
Buyers who would have clicked through HomeAdvisor or Healthgrades are now asking ChatGPT and clicking the sponsored answer directly. Independent operators benefit.

Local-services questions we hear.
-
Do I need a multi-location setup?
No. Single-location operators benefit too — geo precision is fine-grained. Multi-location franchises get the most leverage from a unified buy with per-market creative.
-
How is this different from Google Local Service Ads?
LSAs are pay-per-lead and Google-curated. AI ads are pay-per-click and brand-controlled. CACs are still lower on AI ads in most categories — but LSAs remain useful for very-high-intent emergency queries.
-
Can I get the leads in my CRM directly?
Yes. We wire AI-ad-sourced leads into HubSpot, Pipedrive, ServiceTitan, Jobber, and most common local-services CRMs.
The window closes in 2027.
