Each dimension is labelled by how well it is established. A hypothesis is a reason to measure something, not a claim that it affects any AI system.

Perth research dimensions
DimensionWhat it means for observationStatus
Local intent Many Perth prompts are recommendation or comparison prompts with a place attached. That shape decides which sources are eligible before any ranking factor applies. INFERRED
Geography and time zone Perth is three hours behind Sydney and a different market from the east coast. National sources answering Perth questions is a recurring pattern worth measuring, not assuming. HYPOTHESIS
Australian source ecosystem Australian registries (ABN Lookup, ASIC), national directories, state regulators and Australian publishers are candidate sources. Which ones AI systems cite for Perth prompts is a question for observation. HYPOTHESIS
Local business entities Whether a Perth business can be identified consistently across its own site, Google Business Profile, directories and registries is a measurable property of the business. DOCUMENTED
Reviews and user-generated content Review platforms and community threads are indexed, independent of the business and often cited. How often they appear for Perth prompts is measurable. HYPOTHESIS
Local organic search Google documents that AI Overviews and AI Mode draw on its index and ranking systems, so Perth organic performance is an input to Google surfaces. DOCUMENTED
National versus Perth prompts The same question asked with and without "Perth" can return different brands and sources. Measuring that gap is part of the programme design. HYPOTHESIS
