　The widespread adoption of AI-powered search services has dramatically changed how consumers find stores and services. Google has announced that its AI-powered search result summary feature, "AI Overviews," has surpassed 25 billion monthly users.^{(※ 1)}The use of AI in search behavior is rapidly expanding.
　In response to these changes, MEO (Map Engine Optimization) is a key strategy for attracting customers to stores, ensuring that store information can be found through Google Search and Google Maps.^{(※ 2)}In addition to countermeasures, it is becoming increasingly important to improve websites and content so that generating AI can accurately reference and cite store information.
　GMO TECH anticipates these changes in the search environment and will support local businesses in attracting customers through MEO and GEO.^{(※ 3)}We provide services from both perspectives.
