AI Optimisation for Local SEO
Compatibility notes for a legacy backend workflow that is not exposed in the current Local SEO interface
Not available in the current Local SEO interface. The legacy backend service remains documented for compatibility, but the mounted workspace does not expose an AI optimisation action.
Overview
ProRank's LocationAIService can generate SEO-optimised descriptions for business locations using the configured AI provider. This service exists as a backend capability. It is not currently exposed as a visible action in the mounted Local SEO admin page.
The current mounted Locations Manager UI (React page) does not expose an AI Optimise button in the toolbar. AI description generation is a legacy backend capability, not a visible action in the current mounted admin interface.
How It Works
When invoked, the LocationAIService:
- Takes the location's name and address as context
- Sends a prompt to the configured AI provider
- Returns an SEO-optimised description for the location
- Falls back to template-based patterns when AI is not configured
Requirements
- • Pro+ licence or higher
- • AI provider configured in ProRank SEO → AI Tools → AI Configuration
- • Valid API key for a provider supported by the current AI Configuration model catalogue
- • At least one location saved in the Locations Manager
Template Fallback
When no AI provider is configured, the service generates descriptions using pre-defined template patterns based on location details. These templates produce functional but less nuanced descriptions compared to AI-generated output.
Best Practices
- • Do not rely on this backend workflow from the current Local SEO screen
- • Provide complete location details (name, full address) for better AI context
- • Write and review location descriptions manually before publishing
- • Use the Schema & Settings preview to verify descriptions appear in schema output
