Northern Media Solutions has announced a free AI-powered marketing gap analysis for local businesses, delivering a personalized 12-month growth plan built from more than 500 data points in under five minutes.

Oswego, United States, October 3, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- Northern Media Solutions has announced its AI-enabled marketing gap analysis, a tool designed to help local businesses identify and close gaps in their marketing presence as customers increasingly use multiple channels to research products and services. The assessment processes more than 500 data points in approximately five minutes, producing a 12-month growth plan covering search visibility, customer acquisition, and revenue generation.
More information is available at https://www.northernmediaservices.com/
The announcement addresses a shift in how consumers find local businesses. BrightLocal's July 2026 Consumer Search Behavior Survey found that 75% of respondents used multiple channels during their most recent local business search, with 23% using AI tools at some stage. For businesses focused solely on conventional search, the findings suggest that meaningful portions of their prospective audience may be searching through channels they have not yet addressed.
Northern Media Solutions explains that the challenge extends beyond appearing in search results. Local businesses must also consider their visibility in map listings, the accuracy and depth of the information available about their services, and how effectively their websites convert search traffic into enquiries.
The gap analysis examines these considerations within a broader assessment of each business's niche, location, competitive environment, and current marketing performance. AI processes the data while experienced marketing professionals provide oversight and evaluate the resulting recommendations.
"Being visible in one search channel doesn't necessarily mean customers can find you throughout their research," a Northern Media Solutions spokesperson said. "Our assessment helps businesses identify where their marketing presence may need attention."
The findings inform a month-by-month growth plan outlining recommended marketing activities, estimated expenditure, and projected revenue outcomes. Northern Media Solutions also provides an estimated cost per acquired customer, allowing business owners to review the financial implications of the proposed strategy before committing to any spend.
Where the assessment identifies search-related weaknesses, the resulting plan may incorporate traditional SEO, generative engine optimization, and improvements to local search visibility. Other marketing activities are recommended according to the opportunities identified during the review.
Business owners can use the resulting plan independently or engage Northern Media Solutions to implement its recommendations. The agency's fully managed package combines SEO, paid advertising, website development, AI implementation, and performance tracking under human supervision.
The initial gap analysis is available at no cost, with actual marketing requirements and revenue outcomes dependent on each business's circumstances.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to price. That is why Pat Chung prefers lab-grown diamonds. The 36-year-old Hongkonger says they are much cheaper than a natural diamond for the same quality and size and they are easier to source. “I searched for the exact colour, size and shape that I wanted and sent it to my jeweller,” Chung says, adding that more people are opting for lab-grown diamonds compared to a decade ago. The global trend shows how dramatically the diamond business has changed...

The dining table disappeared beneath a lavish procession of dishes. Our family took food seriously. It was sacred, even. Dinner was never merely about eating. It was the one time each day when everyone was expected to gather, regardless of schedules, moods or whatever else the world demanded outside that room. At the centre sat the pièce de résistance: a whole steamed fish, usually sea bass, topped with ribbons of ginger and spring onion in a fragrant pool of oil and soy sauce. Alongside it were...
Archaeologists have long found a disturbing pattern in the graves of ancient rulers: the dead were sometimes accompanied by other dead. Around royal tombs, the remains of people – who appear to have been killed specifically to follow their masters into the afterlife – lie alongside precious objects and weapons. A new study from Egypt has brought this practice back into the news. At the ancient royal cemetery of Abydos, archaeologists re-examined the skulls of people buried around the tombs of...
When Sonia Chandiramani lost her mum to ovarian cancer in 2017, she found solace in an unexpected place: the rugby pitch. “I was spending five nights a week with my team, plus weekends,” says the 33-year-old Chandiramani, who had been playing since she was 14. “It was my second family. “At her funeral, people showed up, and it meant a lot,” she says. “It’s just a reminder that there are more families than just your family.” Two years later, Chandiramani and some fellow players established...
Despite two much-maligned live-action film adaptations inspired by the popular fighting video game Street Fighter in the past several decades – its namesake 1994 film and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) – it seems Hollywood has yet to give up on the franchise. Paramount Pictures just premiered its live-action reboot film Street Fighter starring Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa and Callina Liang. The film’s plot follows the game’s fighter avatars Ryu (Koji) and his estranged...
