The Shop Owner's Guide to AI in Marketing

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how customers search for local services—including auto repair.

Search engines now generate AI summaries, voice assistants recommend nearby businesses, and tools like ChatGPT are being used to research shops before customers ever visit a website.

For shop owners, the challenge isn’t just understanding AI—it’s knowing how to use it effectively without being misled by it.
