Google Map-Pack and ChatGPT Visibility System for Local Business Launched

Gartner predicts that by 2027, traditional search engine volume will drop by 25% as consumers shift to AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Ethos Media & Marketing LLC has launched a dual-optimization system that positions local businesses to capture leads from both Google’s Map-Pack and emerging AI search platforms. Business owners who optimize only for traditional search today risk losing a quarter of their potential traffic to competitors who appear in AI-generated recommendations.

The Google Map-Pack remains the highest-intent channel for local businesses, with approximately 42-44% of local search traffic flowing to the top three positions according to industry data. Research shows that 76% of local mobile searches result in a store visit within 24 hours, and the Map-Pack is a critical component of these local search results. Ethos addresses this opportunity through Google Business Profile optimization, strategic posting schedules, on-site technical enhancements, advanced “Near Me” signal technology, and map-specific landing pages designed to capture high-intent searchers at the moment they’re ready to buy.

The landscape is shifting rapidly, however, and forward-looking businesses need more than traditional local SEO. Generative Engine Optimization—known as GEO—focuses on appearing directly within AI-generated answers rather than conventional search results pages. AI Overviews reached 1.5 billion monthly users in the first quarter of 2025 and reduce website clicks by more than 30% on pages where they appear, according to industry statistics. Ethos implements specialized Schema Markup for AI interpretation, the llm.txt protocol to guide large language model crawlers, targeted meta tagging for AI visibility, and strategic content structuring that triggers AI recommendation algorithms.

The company delivers both optimization approaches as a unified, hands-off solution that eliminates the need for business owners to coordinate multiple vendors or manage technical implementation themselves. Ethos combines five core elements for Map-Pack excellence with four specialized components for AI search positioning, all executed by the company’s team. The integrated model promises a verifiable increase in calls and leads within 90 days, giving local business owners measurable results without requiring them to understand the underlying technical complexity.

Pricing for the combined service ranges from $850 to $2,350 monthly depending on business size and keyword scope, with an introductory offer of $1,495 per month for single-location businesses targeting up to seven keywords. A restaurant client working with Ethos reported a 30% sales increase after implementing the company’s marketing strategies, though this result represents one client’s experience and may not be typical for all businesses.

Local business owners can request a free visibility audit to assess their current positioning in both traditional and AI search channels before committing to the service. The audit identifies gaps in Map-Pack rankings and AI recommendation presence, providing a baseline for measuring the 90-day performance guarantee. Ethos positions the offering as a solution for businesses that have become invisible in an increasingly fragmented search landscape, where consumers find answers through multiple channels rather than a single dominant platform.
