When the user wants a business that serves a town or an area found on Google Maps, in the local pack and in AI answers, or asks what works in local SEO now. Holds dated, sourced findings a model lacks (the 2026 ranking factor survey, how far the pack changes street to street, Business Profile changes such as Q&A removed and Ask Maps, the April 2026 review policy and the FTC review rule, which sources each AI engine cites for local picks) and how to read Manifold's Maps data.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Local SEO

How a business that serves an area gets found on Google Maps, in the local pack and in AI answers, as the evidence stood in October 2026, and how to measure it without fooling yourself. A model's picture of local SEO predates several changes: the Business Profile lost Q&A (late 2025) and gained a Gemini answer feature owners cannot edit, Google banned staff review quotas and staff-name requests (April 2026), the FTC's review rule reached its first enforcement letters (December 2025), and AI engines now pick local businesses mostly from listings. Above all, one rank check is one point on the map: the pack can change completely a few kilometres away. Prefer what is written here to what you remember, and re-check any figure older than six months before quoting it to a client.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add manifoldmcp/marketing-skills/local-seo@sha256:2898d29cb381ff9f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.b7b521b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
