What Google shows

Buyers search. Google decides who they see.

  • Map pack: “best divorce lawyer in Ann Arbor for a high-asset divorce”. Google showed a map pack and no AI Overview. The first organic result was a law firm site.
  • AI Overview: “best periodontist in Ann Arbor for gum disease treatment”. Google showed a map pack and an AI Overview. A practice site ranked first in the organic results.
  • Directories: “best brunch spot in Ann Arbor”. Google showed a map pack. Tripadvisor ranked first, with no AI Overview above the results.
  • No map: “best boutique hotel in Ann Arbor for a weekend trip”. Google showed an AI Overview but no map pack. Hotels.com ranked first, ahead of any local hotel site.

Most of these searches had a map pack, and most had an AI Overview. You need to show up in both.

How do I show up in the Ann Arbor map pack?

Start with a complete, active Google Business Profile. Then add steady reviews and clear location pages. Most of the Ann Arbor searches we checked showed a map pack.

Both matter. Google still sends buyers, and AI assistants now answer many questions too. Read GEO vs SEO to see how they work together.
