Who is behind Local Authority?
Local Authority is a small company that builds and runs a done-for-you marketing service for local service businesses. It began in 2026 as a system built for one Long Island roofing and siding company: a fast website, a private phone page for posting finished jobs, automatic posting to Google, Instagram and Facebook, town pages earned from real work, and twice-weekly articles, all held to a list of things the business does not do or say. Having seen it run on a real company's site, we are now offering it to roofers, siders, fencers, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, lawn care, tree service, painting, pressure washing, cleaning, pest control, pool service, remodeling and handyman businesses as founding clients. We do not name individuals on this site; the work and the rules speak for the company.
How did it start?
With a roofer who did good work and had no time to show it. His photos sat on his phone. His website was a brochure. His Google profile had not been posted to in months, not because he did not care but because he was on a roof. Every agency he had spoken to wanted him to log in to something, send them content, or approve a monthly report he did not have time to read.
So we built the system around the one thing he already did: take a photo when the job was done. Everything else, the caption, the website entry, the Google post, the Instagram and Facebook posts, the town pages, the articles, had to happen without him, and had to be checked so it never said anything he would not say. He caught every overreach in the early drafts, and each one became a rule enforced in code.
That site has been live since October 2026. Now we are building the same thing for other trades, one founding client at a time, with the same rule: nothing published that the owner has not approved and nothing claimed that cannot be shown.
What do we believe?
- Your work is your best advertisingA before and after photo from a real job in a real town says more than any slogan. The system exists to get that photo in front of people.
- Owners should not have to learn toolsOne phone page. If it takes more than a minute, we have failed.
- Accuracy beats volumeTen true posts beat a hundred vague ones. Every word is checked against what the business actually does.
- Say it the same way everywhereYour name, phone and area, identical on every page and post. Trust is built on consistency, for people and for machines.
- Show, do not promiseWe show you what the system does on a real company's site. We do not promise rankings or leads.
Questions about us
Why do you not name the people behind the company?
A deliberate choice: the company, its rules and its work are what you are buying, not a personality. You will meet the people on the call.
Are you an agency?
No. An agency sells hours and reports. We built a system that does the work and we run it for you for one monthly fee.
Do you use AI?
Yes, for drafting captions, town pages and articles, always checked in code against your facts and approved by you before publishing. We do not lead with it because what matters is that your finished jobs get seen, not how.
When someone asks AI who to call, make sure the answer is you.
Book a call. We will ask ChatGPT who to call for your trade in your area while you watch, show you where its answer came from, and tell you plainly what it would take for that answer to be you.
