Nobody paid to be featured. We're sharing their stories because you deserve to know who you can trust.
You Deserve A Fair Shot
It's not fair how big companies buy their way to the top while local businesses have to earn it. The best local businesses often deliver higher quality at better prices. People just don't know they're there. Local Founders exists to help change that.
Why Founders Get Featured

We don't post and run. We publish your story, then promote it across our website and social media, and we pay to put it in front of people inside your own service area. Your face and your story, in the feeds of your future customers.

Link to your spotlight from your website and your Facebook page. When someone is deciding whether to hire you, your Local Founders Spotlight answers the question for them.

Who's Behind Local Founders?
When we take local businesses from struggling to hiring, it changes a lot of lives for the better.
We do this in two ways. First, through our agency, which I've run since 2002, helping local businesses drive more traffic, pull more leads, and land more customers.
Second, through mentoring. Since 2018, I've personally coached hundreds of other marketing agency owners, so together we can help more local businesses than I could serve with just my agency. Over 16,000 agency owners follow me on YouTube.
