Built by a Contractor. For Contractors.
I spent 30 years in the trades — 15 of those running my own flooring business. I know what it's like to be great at your craft but invisible online.
I watched competitors with half my skill level land more jobs because they showed up on Google and I didn't. Not because they were better — because they were more visible.
I tried hiring a marketing agency. They charged $2,000 a month, locked me into a contract, and I couldn't tell if they were actually doing anything. I tried doing it myself — updating my Google Business Profile, responding to reviews, posting on social media — but between running jobs and managing a crew, I never had time to keep up.
That's why I built LocalLift AI.
LocalLift is the tool I wish I had when I was running my business. It does the marketing work that contractors know they need but don't have time for — automatically.
You upload a job photo, and AI turns it into a Google post. A review comes in, and AI drafts a professional response. Your visibility score tells you exactly where you stand and what to fix — in plain English, not marketing jargon.
I'm not a Silicon Valley founder who read a market report about the trades. I lived it. I know the difference between a water heater install and a repiping job. I know that storm season is when roofers need to be found the most. I know that a solo plumber doesn't have 4 hours a week to "optimize their digital presence."
This platform is built for real contractors doing real work. No jargon, no 12-month contracts, no $2,000/month agencies.
Just more visibility. More calls. More jobs.
