Search in 2026

Every industry is now searched through AI.

Whatever you sell in Miami, your customers now ask Google’s AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity before they ask a friend. Three sourced facts shape every industry plan we write.

45%

of consumers now use AI tools to find local businesses. A year earlier it was 6%.

BrightLocal, 2026
28.3M

visitors came to Greater Miami and Miami Beach in a year, and they spent $22.7B while they were here.

GMCVB, 2025
67%

of Miami-Dade residents speak Spanish at home, and 70.3% are Hispanic or Latino.

US Census Bureau

What that means by industry: a restaurant needs accurate menus and reviews, a clinic needs named physicians and clear procedure pages, a law firm needs attorney-reviewed answers, and an HVAC company needs to be reachable at midnight. Google Business Profile Q&A was discontinued on November 3, 2025 and FAQ rich results ended on May 7, 2026, so the answers your customers look for now have to live on your own pages, where AI assistants can still read them. Read the 2026 Miami SEO guide.

How it works

One method, tuned to your industry.

The steps are the same for a bar and a CPA. What changes is what we look for, which rules apply, and what we build.

  1. Audit

    Free. We check your site, your Google Business Profile, your reviews, and what AI search currently says about businesses like yours.

  2. Industry plan

    We map how your customers search, the compliance rules that apply (HIPAA, bar or financial advertising), and the services that fit.

  3. Build

    Pages, content, campaigns, and when needed the website, booking flow, rewards system or app, by the same team.

  4. Report

    Monthly, in plain English: calls, bookings, reservations or leads. Month to month, no long-term contract.

Not on the list? Still covered.

Animal clinics and veterinary practices are covered on our healthcare page: pet-friendly websites, veterinary SEO, appointment booking, pet owner education and local marketing that brings in more pet owners and keeps them loyal. Plumbing contractors are covered with HVAC, dentists have their own dental page, and automotive businesses start at auto repair.

Technology, education, construction and roofing companies do not have a dedicated page yet. The same method applies, and the services page shows everything we do. Tell us what you need in the form below.

Where we work

We plan by neighborhood as well as by industry: South Beach, Brickell, Wynwood, Coral Gables, Doral and the rest of our Miami service areas.

Which industries does VICE SEO work with in Miami?

VICE SEO has a dedicated page and approach for fourteen industries in Miami: restaurants and bars, hotels and resorts, beauty salons, gyms and fitness studios, limo and chauffeur companies, healthcare, dental practices, legal services, real estate, financial firms, auto repair, HVAC, retail stores, and pet shops. Animal clinics are covered under healthcare, and plumbing under HVAC.

Why does industry matter for SEO and digital marketing?

Because people search differently for a table tonight, a surgeon, a lawyer and an emergency AC repair. The map pack, reviews, content, compliance rules and even the language of the search change by industry. An industry plan starts from how your customers actually look for you in Google, Maps and AI assistants, then chooses the services that fit.

Do you have real clients in my industry?

In some industries, yes, and we name them: Mickey Burkes and Pelican Restaurant in hospitality, MBC NAPA Auto Care in auto repair, Dr. Paz Vital Flow, Moj Lekar and Dr. Daniela Cornélio in healthcare, Aurora Nail Bar and HRS CRYO in beauty and wellness, and WYN MKT in retail. Where we have no public case study, the industry page says so instead of stretching.

How do AI assistants change marketing for local businesses?

Customers increasingly ask Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for a recommendation and get a short list of names. BrightLocal reports that the share of consumers using AI tools to find local businesses rose from 6% to 45% in a year. Being on that list depends on a complete Google Business Profile, consistent information, reviews, and clear, specific website content, which is the work we do in every industry.

My industry is not listed. Can you still help?

Usually, yes. Our portfolio also includes a photographer, a scientific symposium, a creator marketplace app and a model’s portfolio. The method is the same: a free audit, a foundation of technical and local fixes, then the pages, content and product your customers need. Tell us about your business in the form below.

How much does industry-specific marketing cost?

It depends on your industry, your competition and your goals. As a guide, most Miami businesses invest between $1,500 and $5,000 a month in SEO; we quote after a free audit. Plans are month to month with no long-term contract.
