AI and local visibility, 3-week progress
Three weeks into the visibility program, local reach is climbing steadily and Tracy's is beginning to surface in AI answers for the first time. The gains are small and early, which is exactly what healthy, durable momentum looks like at this stage.
View the Recommendations for Improvement →From a standing start three weeks ago, the local signals are moving first, and AI visibility has just begun to register. This is the expected order: local reach responds quickly, AI follows as content and authority build.
Share of Local Voice for "collision repair" has risen every week of the program. Gradual, consistent, and trending up.
A 3.2-point gain in Share of Local Voice over three weeks, a 15.7% relative increase, while average map rank improved from 7.6 to 6.8 and grid coverage rose from 41 to 43 of 49 points. The strongest gains continue to come from the southwest near the South store, with early improvement now appearing in the northern zones as the North store profile work begins to take hold.
Tracy's has moved off a zero baseline and is starting to be named in AI answers for Lincoln collision-repair questions.
First citations appeared in week three, on lower-funnel prompts such as "find a reliable auto body shop in Lincoln." A 1.8-point lift off zero is small in absolute terms and large in meaning: it is the first evidence that AI engines are starting to recognize Tracy's. Local reach is leading AI, which is the normal sequence.
Every metric is holding or improving. None has slipped.

Reading the change column: percentage points (pts) for rate metrics, relative percent for counts. AI share of voice is shown in points because percent change from a zero baseline is undefined. Average map rank improves as the number falls.
The three-week trend is consistent with the twelve-month trajectory. Early local gains lead, AI compounds as content and authority build.
