About Local Answers and Co.
We help businesses show up when customers ask AI or Google where to go or who to call.
Who we are
We're Zach and Jake, two brothers from a small town who believe AI is the future, whether we like it or not.
Zach holds a four-year degree in marketing and software. Jake holds a degree in facilities management and understands how to build real relationships with people. Together, we bring marketing know-how and a real understanding of how businesses run, and AI search is our focus: we keep up with how ChatGPT, Google and the other AI tools decide which businesses to recommend.
We're selective about who joins us. We only bring on top marketing and AI talent: people who hold themselves to the same standard we do.
We're doing this for business owners who don't know much about AI or marketing, and shouldn't have to. You've got a business to run.
We also know what's at stake. Where we come from, a business lives on its name. Behind every one is someone who has put in the early mornings, the late nights and the years it takes to earn their customers' trust. We don't want any of them left in the dust by the AI revolution just because an AI tool didn't know they existed. That's why we treat every business we work with like it's our own.
Why we started
More people are asking ChatGPT and Google's AI where to go or who to call. Instead of a page of ten links, they get a few names.
We'd also seen too many business owners get burned: paying for guaranteed rankings, "secret" tricks and reports nobody could explain, with little to show for it. We were tired of watching it happen.
So we started Local Answers and Co. to help businesses be one of those names, without hype or promises we can't keep. We ask the AI tools what your customers would ask, fix the basics they read, and show you the before and after every month. Our goal is to make a real difference for the people behind every business we work with, and to help them succeed.
Not just another account
At many big marketing firms, you're one account among hundreds. Questions often go to an outsourced support line, and the people doing the work never really get to know your business.
We work differently. You work directly with us, the same people doing the work, and we get to know your business, your customers and your goals.
How we work
We show you, not tell you
You get a screenshot of every AI answer we check, before we start and every month after.
Full effort, no hype
We put our full effort into getting you named first. AI tools decide their own answers, so we never guarantee a spot, and the screenshots show you exactly how it's going.
We try it on ourselves first
We run every step on our own business first, so we know what it takes.
Your accounts stay yours
You stay the Owner of your Google profile. You add us as a Manager, and a Manager can't remove people or delete your profile.
