In the rapidly changing world of multi-location marketing, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology, reshaping customer discovery and engagement. According to SOCi’s 2025 Consumer Behavior Index, traditional search traffic is declining, with 73% of consumers now discovering brands through social media. To stay competitive, multi-location enterprises must adopt AI-driven marketing strategies tailored to this evolving, discovery-focused landscape.

Top 6 Ways AI is Revolutionizing Multi-Location Marketing
