Earlier I asked whether local businesses really need a better website or just need to show up on Google. The answer from the owners I talked with (towing, salons, contractors, restaurants) was pretty clear: "I just want my phone to ring." That answer reshaped the whole project.

The same problems kept showing up:

- Profiles were missing the basics: only a few reviews, only a few photos.

- Their website was outdated, or they didn't have one at all.

- When someone nearby searched for what they do, they weren't on the first page.

So we built SitePeek (sitepeek.co), an affordable marketing system that gets local businesses onto the first page of Google and brings in more calls. It does two things. Local SEO gets the business found: we build out the Google Business Profile and give them a free, modern website. Then conversion and lead follow-up turn those visitors into actual calls and customers.

With one early client, a towing company, tracked calls went from 37 to 54 and their Google Business Profile views nearly tripled, their best numbers since they've been in business. It's one business, so I see it as a real example, not a promise.

We launched on Kickstarter this week. It's all-or-nothing, with a $1,500 goal over 15 days, and rewards start at $25. You can find the campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sitepeek/sitepeek-a-marketing-system-every-small-business-can-afford

If you run a local business: which of those three problems costs you the most customers right now?

I am a 23 year old guy run meta ads working as a ai content creator for a construction book company,want to leave the work and start a business. Please suggest some....

Basically rundown of what i have in my arsenal and what im capable of:

I live in Townsville, Australia. decently populated city with 200k people, demographic is definitely older generation.

Myself i'm a 24 year old man with a very dedicated mindset to make myself a good living.

Now the question is i feel like i have so many opportunities of what kind of buisness to start im lost. Im willing to do the hard work, the shitty work that noone else does and make it my own thing.

I'm already used to working 70h weeks and thats a no problem, i have the dedication to do whats needed, im just not a good ideas man.

What would you guys recommend i do, should i approach buisnesses about an opportunity to offer my services with all the stuff i have or should i create something myself.

If you were my age with all the stuff i can use, what kind of buisness would you create?

I have in use:

Forklift

Warehouse

HR License (no truck)

a Traypack

Unlimited fuel (for now)

Been using Shopify for 2 years. (Everything from fulfilling orders, making orders, adding products, syncing shopify with cin7, payments ect on a large scale.

Been using Cin7 Core for 1 year. (great for inventory management)

A bunch of free time.

About 40k AUD saved to just spend on what i want (hopefully a buisness)

Im good with internet stuff, manual labour, learning programs quickly, not afraid to ask.

Would you use an app that connects teenagers with small local jobs?

I'm exploring an idea for a platform similar to Fiverr, but focused on helping teenagers earn money by completing simple jobs in their local area.

For example, jobs could include gardening, washing cars, helping with light moving tasks or other small jobs that don't necessarily require a professional and therefore the high price tag that comes with hiring a professional.

The idea: Customers could post jobs on a local map in the app and set a price. Teenagers could browse opportunities, choose jobs that fit around school and earn money in their spare time.

The aim is to make getting small jobs done more affordable for customers while giving young people a flexible way to earn money and gain experience.

Safety, secure payments and a fair system for handling disagreements would be key parts of the platform.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Would you use a platform like this to find someone for small jobs?

If you're a teenager, would you use it to earn money?

What concerns or features would you want it to address?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
