Frequently asked.

Honest answers. No marketing fluff.

Can I really see the product before signing up?

Yes — click here for a live sample hub. It's seeded with a fictional Calgary roofer (The Happy Roofer) but every system is the real product. Competitor gap report, rank scan, weekly action plan, Review Outreach Toolkit, monthly report — all clickable. No email gate, no signup wall.

How is this different from Localo / BrightLocal / Whitespark?

Short version: we're niche-tuned for home service trades. Our seasonal calendar knows it's hail season for roofers in June. Our citation list includes RCAA + CRCA for roofers, HRAI for HVAC. Our content engine writes about heat pump rebates, not generic “5 SEO tips for small business.” Full side-by-side breakdown here.

What's actually in the hub?

The headline is a **Competitive Gap Report** — exactly where you're behind the 3 local competitors you pick (photos, reviews, citations) and a revenue impact estimate at your close rate and average job size. Then the systems to close it: 9-point geo-grid rank tracking (3×3 grid across your service area), a seasonal calendar tuned to your niche, a Review Outreach Toolkit (SMS + email + verbal scripts to generate new reviews + replies for the ones still waiting), photo gap analysis with specific shot suggestions, AI Search visibility across ChatGPT/Gemini/Grok/Google AI, name-address-phone match-check against your Google listing, 25 niche citations, the 3 things to do this week, daily Profile Protection alerts, and a monthly report.

How does the Kit get sharper the longer I use it?

Your data compounds. Each month we re-scan your competitors, refresh the gap report, and generate a fresh set of tasks, posts, and captions from your latest ranking data. Every prior month's Kit stays saved to your hub, so by month 6 you're looking at six months of competitor moves and ranking shifts side-by-side — not a month-1 snapshot. You can update your competitors, services, or business info from the hub anytime, and the next monthly rebuild picks it up automatically.

How does the free trial work?

30 days. We collect a card up front so you can stay on autopilot if you love it — but you're not charged until day 31. Cancel anytime from your dashboard with one click and you'll never see a charge. If your first paid month doesn't deliver, you'll get a full refund.

What if I don't see my niche?

LocalLift is built for local trades and service businesses. If you're in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, garage doors, restoration, pest control, decks and fences, concrete, solar — or any other local trade — we've got you. Our niche engine adapts the kit to your specific trade: seasonal timing, niche-specific citations, content angles your customers actually search for. We're built around trades and service businesses right now, so professions outside that (dental, legal, food, retail) aren't a fit yet — but if you're a local trade, you're in.

Do you do annual contracts?

No. Month-to-month only. Cancel anytime.

Who runs the kit? Me?

Built for a busy trades owner to run from his phone between jobs — short bursts, 5-20 minute tasks with clear instructions and inline help. But anyone on your payroll can pick it up too: spouse, office manager, apprentice. Unlimited seats — just send them your hub URL. No SEO knowledge required.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your hub stays live until end of billing period. After that, we keep your historical data for 90 days in case you come back, then it's purged. We never share data with third parties.

I have multiple locations. What do I do?

One subscription per business / Google Business Profile. Two locations = two subscriptions. Email hello@locallift.ca if you have 3+ — we'll work out a multi-location rate.
