Hey everyone,
I am knowledgable in local SEO (what makes your business rank better on Google/Maps). It's actually quite easy and straightforward to optimize your Google Business Profile + website if you follow the rules which will help you rank better.
I would love to use this knowledge to help your small business if you're not ranking as well as you would like. Let me know if you would like the (free) help! cheers
Hi everyone, I recently created a tool to compare how your business profile compares to your local competitors. I posted it in r/localseo and people really liked it so I wanted to share here as well.
It measures how complete your profile is, how active, and how strong your local reputation is based on total reviews, review recency, etc.
Note: I've fixed a lot of early bugs so if you've already tried it and had issues, it should work now! Hope this helps your business.
Note #2: Service area businesses may not work 100% of the time. Lmk if you run into issues.
168 visitors to my site, 107 the day before. And virtually 0 every day before that.
I achieved this by creating a lead magnet. Highly recommend it as a form of marketing.
Best of luck fam
Hi everyone, I created a free simple tool to compare how your business profile compares to your local competitors. It measures how complete your profile is, how active, and how strong your local reputation is based on total reviews, review velocity, review recency, etc.
This is not a map pack ranking. Let me know if you find it useful! It should work for all kinds of businesses.
Similarly, I created a "sister" tool that lets you estimate the local competition for a service as if you're just planning to start the business. You input an address and service and it provides overall grades for the local competitors. This tool is hidden right now but let me know if you want to test it out.
Here's a simple tool to compare how your business profile compares to other local businesses in your category. It measures how complete your profile is, how active, and how strong your local reputation is based on total reviews, review velocity, review recency, etc.
This is not a map pack ranking. Let me know if you find it useful! It should work for all kinds of businesses.

Guys I'm on my 8th product and it's getting steady users, 10-15 a day. Some paid but mostly free trial users.
The difference between this product and my previous failed startups was that I am now building a tool for a small group of people (plumbers, electricians, other home service providers).
Previously I was building for everyone or at least a very large portion of the population.
When you build for a small group of people, it becomes very obvious for them to see the value in it.
Similarly, I started running ads that probably turn off 99.9% of people but the 0.1% of people that click through know exactly what they're getting. It keeps my ad spend low while funneling great prospective customers to my site.
In the off chance that you run a home service business, check it out! https://www.homeservicepro.site
I've seen the wave of people trying to build websites for the service providers who don't have one yet. But the issue is that the websites suck from a local SEO standpoint, they're just vibe-coded landing pages.
S I decided to create HomeServicePro to let plumbers, electricians, etc build their own site that's optimized for local SEO.
And these businesses have seen a solid jump in their map pack rankings! Following the basics for local SEO really does work and isn't all that hard.
Hi everyone, I've seen quite a lot of recent negative feedback about BrightLocal, Local Dominator, Local Falcon, etc.
What's your biggest grievance with these tools?
I'm building HomeServicePro dot site to help plumbers, electricians, etc build SEO-optimized websites that turn their completed job notes into SEO content. We're about to launch our local ranking grid feature as well.
Any feedback you have will help me determine what I should add and how I can do better than the existing solutions. Thank you!
Hey guys, I'm an SEO nerd who's been deep in local SEO for the last 8 or so years.
A lot of people these days are offering to build cheap websites for local business owners because they can vibe code them quickly. You don't want this kind of website. It's a waste of $100.
Websites only help drive traffic to your business if they follow proper SEO rules to help you rank in local search, otherwise it does nothing. There is a specific page layout and navigation structure that performs best in ranking, and a few other less-known tactics.
You also don't want a static site, built once and then cobwebs for years. Google likes to see dynamic content, updates, etc. Blog posts are a great way to create content and grow your site but it can be time-consuming.
Check out HomeServicePro if you're needing an SEO-optimized website that helps drive local traffic to your business. A cool feature is that you can upload the job details or notes from your previous completed jobs and it will automatically create a blog post/case study to grow your site. Customers (and Google) will be able to see the before/after pictures, date, and location of the completed job, helping to make your sight more trustworthy in their eyes.
Hope this helps
Idk if I’m the only one but all of the caption generators kinda suck. They work for most common words but any names or even normal words that have the same pronunciation as another word like „red” and „read” often mess up.
So I built a caption generator that does 2 things:
it gives video context to the captions. For example, if my video is about gardening, then it will try to understand that a random sounding word might be a plant name. Also it tries to understand the sentence context to properly choose between words like „red” vs „read”. This helps accuracy a lot.
it remembers manual corrections I made to captions in my previous videos and re-applies them.
These two steps make me not have to spend extra time on the caption part of my shorts and they’re a lot more accurate. I don’t like it when the captions are messed up when I’m watching other people’s shorts, and definitely not mine either haha.
Does anyone else have this same issue?
