You Deserve A Fair Shot

It's not fair how big companies buy their way to the top while local businesses have to earn it. The best local businesses often deliver higher quality at better prices. People just don't know they're there. Local Founders exists to help change that.

Why Founders Get Featured

  1. 1
    We drive traffic to your spotlight.

    We don't post and run. We publish your story, then we put paid ads behind it. Local Founders features owners nationwide, but we aim that promotion at your service area. Spotlight a kitchen and bath remodeler in Williamsburg, and we run ads to people in Williamsburg. Your face and your story, in the feeds of your future customers.

  2. 2
    You get an authority asset you can use anywhere.

    Link to your spotlight from your website, your Facebook page, your email list. When someone is deciding whether to hire you, "featured on Local Founders" answers the question for them.

  3. 3
    You join a community fighting for local business.

Who's Behind Local Founders?

When we take local businesses from struggling to hiring, it changes a lot of lives for the better.

We do this in two ways. First, through our agency, which I've run since 2002, helping local businesses drive more traffic, pull more leads, and land more customers.

Second, through mentoring. Since 2018, I've personally coached hundreds of other marketing agency owners, so together we can help more local businesses than I could serve with just my agency. Over 16,000 agency owners follow me on YouTube.
