Tell us about your business. We'll get back in 4 hours.

A senior strategist (not an AM, not a bot) reads it within 4 working hours and replies with two things: a short list of clarifying questions and a calendar link for a 30-minute audit walkthrough. No sales pitch on that call, it's an honest read of your situation and the realistic path forward.

Whichever you prefer. The form reply lands in your inbox; from there you tell us if you'd rather hop on a call, exchange more email, or skip straight to a Slack channel. Most clients prefer email for discovery, voice for the audit walkthrough.

We work with US-based businesses and US-located franchise systems. We also work with global agencies that have US-based clients. Outside that scope, we'd rather refer you to a local-market specialist than take on work where we can't deliver, write in anyway and we'll point you at one.

30 minutes, no catch. 47-point signal scoring of your Google Business Profile, competitor benchmark against the current top 3, 1-page action plan you keep. Most audit clients take the playbook and run it themselves. The audit stays valuable either way.

Yes, hello@thelocalowl.com. The form is faster because it captures the fields we'd ask for anyway, but a plain email works too. Same 4-hour reply commitment either way.

No. Most clients start on Starter and move up only if usage actually justifies it. We've moved more clients down a tier than up, if you don't need Professional volume, we'd rather you not pay for it. Pricing is published precisely so this conversation doesn't get murky.
