Common questions.
What if I have multiple locations?
That's coming in Local Hero Agency — €99/mo, around Q3 2026. The current product is one location, one Google Business Profile. If you run more than one and want first dibs, drop me a line.
Do you do Yelp or Facebook reviews too?
No. Google only — that's where most local search lives. Adding more platforms would mean doing them worse. We'd rather do one thing well and be honest about it.
What's a founder seat, exactly?
€179 once. Lifetime use of Local Hero core. Founder Slack channel where you talk to me directly. Vote on the next three features. 100 seats total — these go to people who help shape the product. 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
How fast is setup?
30 minutes. We connect to your Google Business Profile, ask 10 voice-tone questions, import your customer list (CSV or from your booking system), and you're live. The first review request goes out the next time you mark a job done.
What happens if I cancel?
You stop paying. Local Hero stops sending review requests. Your existing Google reviews stay (they're yours, not ours). No clawback, no exit fee, no "but wait" email three months later.
Where's my data hosted?
In the EU, GDPR-compliant. Customer SMS messages are deleted 30 days after send. We never train AI on your data. Full data export on request, via email — same business day.
Can I pay annually for a discount?
Not at this price. €29/month is already two-thirds below the closest comparable tool. The founder lifetime deal is the bigger discount if you want the whole thing locked in.
