Articles for owners of service businesses

Local Authority's articles answer the questions owners of local service businesses ask about showing their work online: how a Google Business Profile post works, why town pages help or hurt, what makes a review useful, how AI tools decide which contractor to recommend, and what a fast website actually needs. They are written on the same engine that writes articles for our clients, with a quick answer at the top of each one and sources that are checked to load, and held to the same rule: nothing claimed that cannot be shown.

The first articles are being written. They will appear here and in the brief we publish for AI tools.

Questions we will answer first

  1. What should a contractor post on Google Business Profile?
  2. Do town pages help a local business rank, or hurt it?
  3. Why does a fast website matter for a roofer or plumber?
  4. How do AI tools like ChatGPT decide which local business to recommend?
  5. What makes a Google review useful for local ranking?
  6. Should a contractor block AI crawlers?
  7. How often should a service business post on Instagram and Facebook?
  8. What is llms.txt and does a small business need one?

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.
