Two Systems. One Requirement.

Your business data needs to appear accurately across both the global navigation ecosystem and the expanding world of voice and AI assistants. Gaps in either mean lost customers.

GPS & Navigation Platforms

Map & Location Services

GPS mapmakers now power the global navigation industry, serving hundreds of car brands, every major smartphone, and an ever-growing number of connected devices. Your business data must be present and accurate across all of them.

Voice & AI Search Assistants

Voice Search Services

Voice search is no longer emerging; it is mainstream. There are now more active voice assistants on Earth than there are people. Each assistant pulls local business data from map and directory sources, making your listings the foundation of voice discoverability.

Voice Search Is Already Here

The original estimate that 20% of voice searches are for local businesses is now far out of date. In 2026, 76% of all voice searches carry local intent, and there are now more active voice assistants on Earth than there are people.

Consumers using voice are not browsing. They are ready to act. A voice search for a nearby business almost always leads to a call, a visit, or a purchase on the same day.

The businesses that appear in voice results are the ones with complete, consistent, verified listings across every connected platform. Microsoft Copilot has replaced Cortana as the Windows AI assistant, and ChatGPT Search is now a meaningful local search channel. The ecosystem keeps expanding.

Making Sure Your Business Shows Up

1

Ensure Your NAP Is Verified and Consistent

Every map and voice platform pulls from NAP data. Accurate, consistent Name, Address, and Phone information is the prerequisite for appearing anywhere.

2

Claim and Complete Your Google Business Profile

Google is the primary data source for both Google Maps and Google Assistant. A fully completed profile makes your business 70% more likely to attract voice queries.

3

Submit to All Major Map Data Providers

HERE, TomTom, and similar providers supply data to hundreds of connected car brands and navigation systems. Getting listed there extends your reach far beyond the major apps.

4

Keep Listings Current as Your Business Evolves

Address changes, new phone numbers, and updated hours need to be pushed to every connected platform. Stale data means missed customers across every system simultaneously.
