        "text": "You’ll usually see early movement from “near me” voice optimization within 4–8 weeks, but meaningful, stable results often take 3–6 months.\n\nAssistants rely on multiple data sources that refresh on different schedules, and local competition levels in your industry and city also matter. Expect gradual gains rather than an instant jump.\n\nKey factors:\n- How incomplete or inconsistent your current listings and NAP data are.\n- Review volume and freshness compared with nearby competitors.\n- How much conversational, question‑based content you add and how often you update it.\n- Search demand and competition in your niche and metro.\n\nPlan on a 90‑day sprint: fix listings, speed up your site, publish FAQs, and request reviews, then monitor map rankings, impressions, and voice tests monthly. Set expectations internally that this is an ongoing local visibility project, not a quick toggle you flip once.",
