The sector

Trust is built online. It is tested at the branch.

45%

of US consumers used ChatGPT or other AI tools for local recommendations in 2026. "Branch with a notary open Saturday near me" is now a question to an assistant.

avoid a business when its information online is wrong. For a branch, a wrong address, hours or phone number is a customer who never arrives.

BrightLocal, 2023
82%

of consumers read AI-generated review summaries, and 23% would decide on the summary alone. Unanswered reviews write that summary for you.

The journey, for financial services

Found, contacted, met, at every branch.

The path is the same for a bank branch and an insurance agent: the customer asks, checks the listing and the reviews, calls or messages, and books a meeting. Each step has a product, and one view shows every branch, with approvals and a log for everything customer-facing.

Visibility by Locus Intelligence

When customers ask AI, be the branch it names.

Customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google for "a branch that handles small business accounts near me" or "an insurance advisor open on Saturday". Visibility runs the real questions per branch and city, shows which engines name you and who they name instead, and fixes the sources they read: branch profiles, directories, your own pages.

  • Prompts for services, branches and advisors, local and brand
  • Who got named instead, and the sources each engine used
  • Fixes drafted, shipped after you approve

Reach by Locus Intelligence

Every branch right, every review answered.

Branches live on Google, Apple Maps and the directories, and facts drift: Saturday hours, the cash desk, the notary, the phone number, ATM status. Reach keeps every listing matching, drafts review replies that stay inside your compliance rules, posts branch notices, and checks the Maps rank from nine points around each branch.

  • Google Business Profile management for every branch
  • Reputation management: replies drafted, you approve
  • Local SEO for multiple locations, one plan per branch

Every call and click lands at the right branch.

Call tracking gives each branch and campaign its own tracked number, so a call is tied to the listing or the ad that drove it, and you see missed calls by hour. A fast page per branch and a branch locator for the network answer what the listing cannot: services, hours, accessibility, directions.

  • Call tracking per branch and per source
  • Microsites: one fast page per branch, kept in sync with the profile
  • Branch locator for the network, by city and by service

Desk by Locus Intelligence

The branch is busy. Desk is not.

Desk is the AI receptionist and lead inbox for every branch: it answers calls, WhatsApp, website chat and forms in seconds, from the branch's own hours and services, captures the inquiry, books the appointment, and follows up until the meeting. It never gives financial advice or quotes rates you have not published, and a banker takes over with the whole conversation attached.

  • Appointments booked, into your CRM when connected
  • Reminders, follow-ups and review requests, per branch

FAQ

Financial services, answered.

Does it work for a single branch or agent?

Yes. Reach is free forever for one location, Visibility and Desk have free plans, and the journey is the same at one branch as at a thousand.

Does it give financial advice or quote rates?

No. It answers hours, services and appointments from the information you approve, and hands over to a person for anything about products, rates or eligibility.

How does it fit compliance rules?

Nothing customer-facing goes live without approval. Roles by region and branch decide who approves what, replies are drafted from your approved language, and every action is logged and reversible. Ask our team about your regulator's requirements.

Can it handle agent and advisor networks?

Yes. Roles can be set by region and agent, so each level approves only what it owns.

Which languages does it handle?

Reach replies and posts in 19 languages. Desk answers customers in the language they write in.

What is the first step?

A free network audit: every branch scored, the Maps rank against the top three nearby, whether AI engines name each one, and the top fixes. Then a demo of the plan for your network.

Never miss another customer.
