Your challenges (sound familiar?)

  • “Is it in stock?” becomes three phone calls and a lost sale.
  • Store pages, hours, and policies aren’t consistent across Google/Maps.
  • Reviews are patchy; responses are slow or off-brand.
  • Ad spend rises but attribution is foggy (store vs. online).
  • Returns, delivery, and C&C info is hard to find—so shoppers bounce.

Why this matters now (facts)

  • Local intent → real-world action. 76% of people who search “near me” visit a business within a day; 28% make a purchase. (Google Business)
  • Stock visibility is a deal-breaker. 42% of shoppers say they’ll only visit a store if they can check availability online first. Source (AU report):(Lightspeed Commerce)
  • Reviews shape retail choice. Consumers read reviews across multiple platforms and expect responses; many consult 2–3+ sites before deciding.(BrightLocal)
  • AI discovery is mainstream. Google’s AI Overviews reach ~2B monthly users; retail queries increasingly surface answer-style results. Techcrunch
  • Show in-store inventory on Google. Local Inventory Ads let you expose real-time store stock directly in Search/Maps/Shopping. Help doc:(Google Help)
  • Australia lens. See monthly retail trends (store vs. online) from the ABS: (Australian Bureau of Statistics)

What works for Retail (our recommended bundle)

1) Store & product pages built for AEO
  • Answer how shoppers ask: “Is it in stock near me?”, “Click-and-collect cut-off?”, “Returns policy?”, “Open now?”
  • Add schema (LocalBusiness, Product, FAQPage, Offer, OpeningHours, ReturnPolicy) so Google and AI assistants can surface accurate answers.
  • Keep pickup/returns/delivery clear and current.
2) Maps, GBP, and citations (be findable everywhere)
  • MapBooster to fix NAP/citations and keep Google Business Profile perfect for every store: photos, hours, attributes, C&C links. MapBooster
3) Real-time “in-stock near me”
  • Set up Local Inventory Ads (and free local listings) so nearby shoppers see store stock without digging. Help:(Google Help)
4) Speed-to-lead & C&C automation (AI agents)
  • DrKing replies instantly to chat/form/SMS/email, answers product questions, checks availability (via your systems), and books pickup or delivery. DrKing
  • Voice agent handles after-hours calls with transcripts and confirmations.
5) Reviews & social proof at scale
  • ReviewKing requests reviews at the right moment (post-purchase) and drafts on-brand responses for approval or auto-publish. ReviewKing
6) Paid media that matches store reality
  • Google Shopping/PMAX with local inventory + store visits tracking.
  • Meta/TikTok for promos and retargeting; YouTube for product explainers.
7) Analytics that merge store + online

FAQs (AEO-friendly)

Can you show store stock on Google without a complex website integration?
Yes—Local Inventory Ads support a Google-hosted store page while you work toward full feed integration. Help: Google Help)

Will agents replace store staff?
No. Agents handle repetitive enquiries (stock, hours, pickup windows) and hand complex cases to humans.

How fast can we go live?
Most retailers launch the first wave in 2–4 weeks (AEO FAQs + GBP cleanup + DrKing + Shopping/PMAX with LIA), then add capabilities.

How do you measure ROI?
Store visits signals, calls, direction requests, C&C orders, review velocity, and revenue—shown in shared dashboards.

Multi-store support?
Yes. We standardise brand guidance and reporting, but localise every store’s GBP, citations, and landing pages.
