Local SEO services for small businesses

When someone nearby needs what you do, your name should come up.

Your work is good. Your customers are happy. But a stranger searching on Google, or asking ChatGPT who to hire, may never find you. Local Foundation fixes the things those searches read first.

How people find a local business has changed

It used to work like this: someone searched Google, clicked a link, and landed on your website. Now a growing number of people ask an AI tool who to hire, and it simply names a few businesses. In BrightLocal's 2026 consumer survey, AI use for local recommendations rose from 6% to 45% in a year.

Those tools have to learn about you from somewhere. In BrightLocal's 2026 study of 1.9 million citations, Google Business Profiles were the top source AI cited for local businesses, and ChatGPT cited Yelp in 80% of its local answers.

So if you're missing, it isn't about how good you are. Your listings and your website just aren't giving Google and AI tools a clear, matching story about what you do and where. That's fixable.

Why me

I'm Andrea Li. I've been making jewelry and running my own small business for more than twenty years, so I know what it's like to do this work yourself, after hours. I test what I do on my own store first, and I went through Google's verification video myself, including the one that got rejected.

Bohemi, a Boulder ring studio, saw sales rise 58% after a full rebuild, and its website went from 4% to 44% of sales. My own store reached #1 on Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo, and revenue rose 89%.

"She reviewed my website, Google, and Instagram information for consistency, catching discrepancies in service descriptions, good old fashioned spelling errors, and page visibility issues along the way."

What Local Foundation includes

Done for you

Local Foundation

Starting at $2,000. One fixed price, agreed before you pay anything.

  • Your Google Business Profile, set up right. Claimed or built, with the correct type of business, categories, services and hours. Google requires the owner to do the verification step, so I'll walk you through it.
  • Your listings, all telling the same story. Your name, address, phone and services matched across Google, Yelp and the directories people use in your field.
  • Your website, repaired. Clear page titles and descriptions on the pages you have, in the words your customers search.
  • A clear page for your most important service. What it is, who it's for, where, and how to book.
  • The invisible labels on your site. Hidden code that tells Google and AI tools who you are, what you offer and where you work.
  • A review request you can keep using. Written to follow Google's rules, so you can ask every customer the right way.
  • A before and after. I record where you stand on day one, then check the same searches again after 90 days.

Questions, answered

Why "starting at" $2,000?

The price depends on how many pages and listings need work, and looking at your business is how I find out. You'll get one fixed price by email before you decide.

Do I need a new website?

No. I work with the website you have. If you don't have one yet, tell me on the form and I'll say what makes sense.

What do I have to do?

Answer a few questions about your business, share logins for your listings, record the Google verification video if your profile needs one (Google requires the owner to do this), and approve the changes.

Can you guarantee I'll rank first or get recommended by ChatGPT?

No, and nobody honestly can. I can make sure Google and AI tools have clear, correct information about you, and show you what changed at the 90-day check.

When can you start?

New projects start in February 2027.

I sell products, not services. Is this for me?

If customers can visit you or meet you in person, it may be. If you sell online only, Google won't list you on a Business Profile, so my store packages are a better fit.
