AI Marketing for Indian SMBs: What Actually Works
**Quick Answer:** Focus on AI-generated video ads for social media and automated Google Maps updates. These are the two highest ROI activities for local Indian businesses.
Cutting Through the Noise
Marketing agents will try to sell you everything: SEO, PPC, Influencers, Email blasts. For a small business with a limited budget, this is overwhelming. Where should you actually put your money?
The "Video First" Revolution
India consumes more mobile video than almost any other country. If you aren't on Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts, you don't exist.
The problem: Video production is expensive.
The AI Solution: We use AI tools to generate professional video ads using just static photos of your products. We can add voiceovers in Hindi, Tamil, or Kannada instantly. This costs 1/10th of a traditional shoot.
Google Maps Supremacy
For local businesses (restaurants, clinics, repair shops), Google Maps is more important than your website. But ranking on Maps requires consistent updates.
AI tools can now write and post "Google Business Profile" updates for you every week, keeping your listing active and signaling to Google that you are open for business.
What Doesn't Work
Generic "Holiday Greetings." Posting "Happy Diwali" once a year isn't marketing. You need offers, testimonials, and product showcases.
Key Takeaways
- Video is king; AI makes it affordable.
- Google Maps is your most valuable digital real estate.
- Consistency beats virality. Post often using automation.
