The Real Buzz

Quick Takeaways

AI may help people discover a business, but it rarely earns trust by itself.
Customers still check Google, reviews, photos, websites, and business listings before deciding.
Your website and trust signals need to support what people find in AI search.
The goal is still simple: be seen, be trusted, and be chosen.
