AI Summary
Growing restaurant chains demonstrate a significant gap in local digital visibility compared to shrinking ones, as measured by SOCi's Local Visibility Index (LVI). This LVI score, which combines search rankings, reviews, social engagement, and AI recommendation rates, appears to correlate with real estate and business performance before it hits industry headlines.
