Generative AI with enterprise controls for business users in 24 Hours
- Aible has collaborated with Google Cloud to enable customers to build, train, and deploy generative AI models on their own data, securely and with confidence.
- Enabling enterprise-grade control with Google Cloud’s design approach means customer data is secure by default on day 1 without requiring customers to take any additional actions.
- Aible’s Infrastructure as Code approach allows you to leverage all of the benefits of Google Cloud directly in your own projects in a matter of minutes.
- One of the primary ways Aible helps reduce hallucinations is by using its auto-generated Information Model.
- Aible’s ChatAible system replaces months of manual work, allowing business users to "just start chatting" with their enterprise data.
- Aible helps reduce hallucinations by using its auto-generated Information Model in two ways: grounding gen AI models in a relevant subset, and parsing through gen AI outputs and comparing it to millions of answers already known to the Information Model to double check each fact.
- Aible is able to access non-Google gen AI models while benefiting from additional security layers, such as k-anonymity and masking.
- ChatAible allows users to customize personal preferences and chat in a different language.
- Aible sets organizations up for success, empowering all users — including business users — to quickly get started on their generative AI use cases.
- Aible’s capabilities ensure business users have a productive and safe experience from the moment they start using gen AI.

20 Local SEO Techniques to Boost Your Online Visibility
- This article presents 20 effective local SEO techniques that can help businesses to boost their online visibility and dominate the local search landscape.
- The first technique is to claim and optimise your Google Business Profile by ensuring that your business name, category, and contact details are accurate and up-to-date. High-quality photos and compelling descriptions highlighting your unique selling points should also be added.
- Relevance is crucial in local SEO, so it's essential to incorporate localised content and keywords into your website and marketing materials using natural language and conversational phrasing.
- You also need to optimise your website for local search by ensuring that your NAP (name, address, and phone number) is consistently displayed across your website and by tailoring your website's structure and content to your local audience.
- Building local citations and directory listings is also important, and you should aim to claim and optimise your listings on the major directories, such as Google My Business, Bing Places, and Apple Maps. Keep your NAP consistent across all your listings.
- Encouraging and responding to online reviews is critical as they carry a lot of weight with search engines and potential customers. You should actively encourage your customers to leave reviews on Google, Facebook, Yelp, and other relevant platforms, and also respond positively and negatively to them.
- Other techniques include leveraging local partnerships and sponsorships, local social media engagement, optimising your local content for voice search, leveraging hyper-local content and targeting, and continuously monitoring and adapting your local SEO strategy.
- Local SEO is a marathon, not a sprint, so businesses need to stay patient, consistent, and willing to adapt and try new things to build a solid and lasting online presence in their local market.
