AI SEO and AEO in Spain: how customers find businesses
By the SEOCells team, OmCells R&D Labs LLP · Updated
In Spain, being found means Spanish pages written for Spain (es-ES), regional-language pages where your customers use them, a complete Google Business Profile and accurate listings on Páginas Amarillas and TheFork. AI assistants answer in Spanish from Spanish and Latin American sources, so Spain-specific facts help.

Which search engines do people in Spain use?
Google is dominant.
Which AI assistants answer their questions?
ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Claude and Grok are all used, in English and local languages.
What is different about search in Spain?
Spanish searches compete with Latin American pages in the same language; prices in euro, Spanish regulations and named cities make a page clearly the answer for Spain. In Catalonia, Catalan pages reach customers who search in Catalan.
Which listings and review sites should be accurate?
Keep your business name, address, phone, hours and description identical on each of these, and on your website and its structured data:
- Google Business Profile
- Apple Business Connect
- Páginas Amarillas
- TheFork (restaurants)
- Trustpilot
What do people search for?
Examples of the searches and questions that local pages should answer directly (illustrations, not measured volumes):
- “dentista cerca de mí Madrid”
- “agencia SEO Barcelona”
- “posicionamiento en IA”
- “reforma cocina precio Valencia”
Which privacy law governs analytics in Spain?
The GDPR, Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD) and the LSSI (cookies), supervised by the AEPD. Measuring visits from AI assistants (see our analytics guide) must respect it. This is general information, not legal advice.
