Sharibly – Web Design, Search & Social
If you run a business in Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Liberty Lake, Spokane Valley, or Spokane, there’s something big happening behind the scenes that could affect how (or if) customers find you online.
Search is changing — fast. And it’s not just a Google thing anymore.
A recent Forbes-reported move by Meta — acquiring a 49% stake in AI data-labeling company Scale AI — is accelerating a much bigger shift: one where AI decides what gets seen, who gets discovered, and which businesses win.
Until recently, most businesses relied on traditional SEO: keywords, blog posts, maybe a few backlinks.
But now? Search engines are thinking. Google’s new Search Generative Experience (SGE) pulls answers from content, summarizes it using AI, and skips over the old “10 blue links.” Platforms like Instagram and Facebook are quietly building AI-powered content surfacing systems, too — learning from what Meta’s new AI investments make possible.
If your business content doesn’t speak to AI in the right way, you’re getting overlooked — even if you’re the best in town.
Let’s make this local.
A home builder in Post Falls gets fewer calls this year — not because demand dropped, but because their competitor’s website now shows up directly in AI summaries when someone types “custom homes near Spokane Valley.”
A roofer in Coeur d’Alene doesn’t appear at all when a customer searches “licensed roofers Liberty Lake” — because their page wasn’t structured for AI to pull a confident answer.
A boutique in Spokane notices fewer Facebook referrals — Meta is quietly testing new AI discovery tools that surface businesses based on inferred interests, not hashtags.
It’s not science fiction. It’s what’s happening right now.
We’ve been preparing for this moment. Our AI SEO service is custom-built for this shift — designed specifically for local businesses who need to be found, chosen, and trusted in an AI-driven world.
We won’t give away the formula (because trust us, others are watching), but here’s what sets it apart:
We align your content with the way AI interprets search intent
We embed authority and relevance in ways traditional SEO doesn’t touch
We structure your message to work across Google, Facebook, Instagram, and even AI chat tools — without keyword stuffing or gimmicks
It’s not magic. It’s method.
And it works whether you’re a small business in Hayden, a contractor in Rathdrum, or a family-run shop in downtown Spokane.
This isn’t just a “trend” — it’s the future of online visibility.
Meta, Google, and OpenAI are moving fast. Local competitors who invest in future-proof visibility will own the top spots — not just in Google, but across AI-driven search and social platforms.
Don’t let your business be invisible in the new search economy.
