Uberall Launches First GEO Studio in Collaboration with AthenaHQ

Uberall, the global leader in location marketing technology, unveiled the industry’s first Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) Studio, giving multi-location brands a way to stay visible — and recommended — in AI search.

Built in partnership with San Francisco-based AthenaHQ, the GEO Studio responds to the biggest visibility crisis brands have faced in a decade: AI systems increasingly decide which businesses appear, yet most brands are not “AI-ready.

Around 68% of local businesses appear incorrectly in AI results due to missing, inconsistent, or outdated data. And as AI agents filter choices based on confidence signals, not keywords, traditional SEO and content tactics can no longer guarantee discovery.

Kustomer Expands Post-Purchase Support Capabilities With New Narvar App Integration

With the new Narvar Connect & Care app within Kustomer, agents can quickly identify customer orders by email or phone number, view recent purchases, and access real-time shipping and return statuses right alongside the customer’s conversation. This helps retailers and brands dramatically reduce “Where is my order?” (WISMO) and “Where is my return?” (WISMR) inquiries, while improving both handle time and customer satisfaction.
