Persona and visibility queries now handle your brand's geographic focus the way it was meant to work. Previously, a location resolver tried to validate and interpret fields like "Brooklyn," "San Francisco Bay Area," or "US, UK" before they reached the prompt — and it got it wrong often enough to matter. Broad markets were sometimes treated as localities, real service areas were discarded, and multi-region strings confused it entirely.
That resolver is gone. The raw geographic focus goes straight to the model, which makes the judgment call: is this a specific place worth localizing to, or a broad market indicator that should stay general? For brands with precise service areas, this means your location will actually show up in the queries and personas built around your brand.
