What you get
Every other member near you telling the truth about what you're good at, in a place these things get read. Not one voice. Twenty.
For local businesses
Someone near you just asked for the best coffee. It didn't say you.
People don't scroll ten blue links any more. They ask, they get two or three names, and they go. Right now those names are almost never the good little place around the corner.
Get the free check
20 real questions, 3 assistants. You get the answers whether you join or not.
Your customers stopped searching. They started asking.
For twenty years getting found meant Google, and small shops lost that fight — not for being worse, but because a chain could simply pay more for every word worth having.
This time is different. The ads sit underneath the answer. The answer itself is not for sale — it is decided by what other people have written about you. And most good small businesses have almost nothing written about them that a machine can read.

We tried it on ourselves first
We asked three assistants the 20 questions a customer of ours would actually ask. 44 of those answers came back clean and usable. We were named in zero of them. We are a tech company, this is literally our job, and we were invisible. It costs you nothing to find out where you stand.
60 tries, 44 clean answers, zero mentions. The other 16 failed or came back empty and we count them as missing, never as a zero. That is our own test on our own trade, not a guess about yours.
What you're actually joining
Twenty shops on your street, writing about each other.
A page you wrote about yourself counts for almost nothing — every business has one, and no assistant has ever been talked round by it.
What moves the answer is other people saying it. So you and about twenty businesses near you each write one honest recommendation a month for one another. They name you, you name them, and the assistants finally have something real to read.
What you give
The same, back. One honest recommendation a month, for a business you'd genuinely send a customer to.
Four steps. You'll know if it worked.

I run the company behind LocalBest · Barcelona
I run an AI engineering firm with eleven data scientists. We build systems for banks, industrial operators and pharmacy chains — the kind of work where being wrong is expensive, so we measure things before we claim them.
We ran this check on ourselves before we tried to sell it to anyone. Asked who to hire, the assistants named us in zero of 44 clean answers. Asked about us by name, they mostly knew we existed and not one described us correctly. That is the same check you get for free, and I will show you our own numbers alongside yours.
