        "text": "You don’t need to be physically in the same city as your AI overview specialist, but working with someone who understands markets like Los Angeles, San Diego, Austin, Denver, or Salt Lake City can help them craft more relevant local content.\n\nWhat matters most is proven experience and transparency, not a specific ZIP code.\n\nKey factors:\n- Portfolio: before/after examples and case studies, including local or multi-location brands.\n- Process: clear audits, roadmaps, and measurement plans—not vague promises.\n- Communication: willingness to explain tradeoffs and educate your team.\n- Fit: familiarity with your industry and your key cities or regions.\n\nWhen evaluating options, prioritize expertise and process, then treat local knowledge as a useful bonus. Ask specifically how they’d approach content for your core cities and what local signals they’d strengthen first.\n\nGood providers can deliver strong results remotely while still tailoring strategy to your local markets.",
