Small local business owners over-invest in custom websites that drive minimal customer discovery, while neglecting the invisible administrative work of maintaining their Google Business Profile (reviews, photos) which actually drives walk-ins.
Existing tools focus on building custom websites which are expensive and not the primary source of customer discovery for local businesses; there's no dedicated software that automates GBP maintenance (review response reminders, photo upload scheduling) and tracks its impact on discovery metrics.

It replaces the manual 'invisible administrative work' with a simple dashboard.
Key Features
- Weekly photo upload reminders with mobile app for one-tap upload
- Review response reminders with suggested reply templates
- Analytics dashboard showing views, clicks, calls from GBP vs. website
- Competitor GBP monitoring to see what works in your area
Target Users: Owners of local small businesses in home services (e.g., plumbers, electricians, HVAC, lawn care) who rely on Google Maps for customer discovery.
Revenue Model: $19/mo per business (or $199/yr) SaaS subscription
