Semrush has launched GBP AI Agent, a fully automated solution that keeps a business's Google Business Profile (GBP) active, optimized, and engaging with full hands-off automation.
Once a GBP account is connected, AI Agent audits existing activity and builds an optimized automation plan. Users can review and adjust it if needed, then launch AI Agent to take care of the rest automatically, with performance tracked in a simple dashboard.
What Makes GBP AI Agent Different
Unlike standard GBP tools that only provide audits or generate rule-based checklists for users to implement manually, GBP AI Agent goes further by executing those tasks automatically.
After a one-time setup, it takes over core tasks like:
-
Generating and publishing GBP posts using AI, with images pulled from the business's preloaded photo library
-
Replying to customer reviews within 24 hours, in the selected tone and language
-
Uploading photos and media on a set schedule
-
Creating business descriptions and publishing them if approved
-
Generating Q&A entries to answer common customer questions
Regular activity of this kind is what signals to Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini that a business is active, relevant, and trustworthy, making them more likely to recommend it.
AI Agent Makes Your GBP AI-Search Ready
Large language models (LLMs) rely on "entity signals" to recommend local businesses.
Google Business Profiles are key to local visibility. Content from descriptions, posts, reviews, photos, and Q&A directly influences how businesses appear in local search-and how they're represented across AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
GBP AI Agent automatically keeps profiles active and optimized, helping businesses appear more prominently when customers search nearby.
Why This Matters
For time-strapped SMB owners, GBP AI Agent offers the first fully hands-off path to improving local visibility. Active profiles strengthen trust signals for Google and AI search, keeping the business fresh and discoverable.
