Local Falcon is a different way of visualizing ranking data in local search. Below is a list of answers to our most frequently asked questions. For even deeper learning, you can always check out our knowledge base as well.
Local Falcon measures Share of AI Voice (SAIV). The tool will perform a search at every pin on your geo-grid, it will then record whether an AI Overviews result was present or not, and it will record whether your brand is mentioned/cited. Your SAIV score is the percentage of map pins where you're mentioned. We also display the AI Overviews response itself, and show you the sources Google chose. Google AI Overviews is a new search format that replaces traditional local business listings (like the three-pack) with AI-generated summaries, personalized recommendations, and contextual information drawn from multiple sources across the web. Instead of just showing business listings, it creates comprehensive overviews highlighting key attributes and answering common questions. If your business wasn't mentioned in any Google AI Overviews, it could be due to a few reasons: Traditional Google Business Profile rankings focus on how prominently your business appears in the local pack (Google's 3-pack) for location-based searches. These results are heavily influenced by GBP optimization and reviews, as well as a person's proximity to the business or use of relevant geographic keywords when they search. Google AI Overviews visibility refers to whether or not your business is included in Google's AI-generated summaries, which are often based on broader web content like your website content, specific review feedback, and third-party mentions. Google AI Overviews can appear above the traditional local search results, making them even more prominent than the local pack when they surface. Google AI Overviews are AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of some Google Search results, especially for longer, more complex queries. When displayed, they are more visible than traditional local search results. Tracking your visibility in Google AI Overviews helps you understand if (and how often) your business is being recommended in these summaries, giving you a competitive edge in understanding AI-driven search visibility and providing a more comprehensive view of your overall visibility in local search.
