Local discovery has changed, and so has how brands need to manage it. Customers no longer follow a straight path from search to visit. They discover brands across search engines, maps, social platforms, reviews, and AI-driven experiences. Visibility alone is no longer enough. What matters is knowing where to act next, and why.

Today, we’re introducing Places AI, a new starting point inside PinMeTo that brings AI and agentic capabilities into how teams manage local presence.

Your Locations Win, No Matter How the World Searches Next

For years, multi-location brands have managed local presence through fragmented tools and metrics: listings here, reviews there, analytics somewhere else.

Discovery has become more complex. Search, maps, social and AI-driven experiences shape which brands get recommended and trusted, often before a customer ever reaches a website. Places AI exists to address this shift.

It brings location data, content, customer conversations, and performance signals together into a single starting point, so teams know what to do next, and what outcome to expect.

From Insights to Driving Outcomes

Places AI is built to help you increase engagement, drive more visits to your physical locations, and accelerate sales through intelligent software, agentic AI, and human expertise working as one.

Instead of focusing on dashboards and isolated metrics, Places AI identifies your next winning action for each location and shows the impact of taking it.

Every improvement connects to a clearer business outcome, whether that’s stronger visibility, higher engagement, or more real-world traffic.

Built-in AI and Agentic Capabilities

AI and agentic capabilities are embedded throughout Places AI to help you work smarter and faster.

  • In the moment, teams can explore performance, understand changes, and ask questions across their locations.

  • In the background, Places AI continuously evaluates signals, surfaces opportunities, and helps prioritise what matters most.
