What is localbiz?

localbiz is a Toronto-built platform for independent local businesses who want a website that does the work — books appointments, collects reviews, and shows up when customers ask AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.

We're not a website-builder template, and we're not a white-label reseller selling someone else's stack. localbiz is one platform, one codebase, one team. The same person who designs your site is the person who runs the AI chat, the booking flow, and the review automation behind it.

Who we serve

Independent businesses in the Greater Toronto Area: barbershops, cafés, dental and medical clinics, salons, restaurants, fitness studios, professional services. If you're an owner-operator who wants the website to actually move the needle on bookings, this is for you. If you're looking for a giant agency or a $5,000/month retainer, this isn't.

Why the AI-native focus

Customers in 2026 increasingly ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for local recommendations. Most local-business websites are invisible to those AI engines — wrong schema, blocked crawlers, no FAQ pages, no entity clarity. localbiz Premium tier ships full AEO out of the box: when a customer asks an AI for the best in your category in your neighbourhood, your business is the answer it cites.

What ownership looks like

You own your domain. You own your content. You own your customer list. You own your reviews. You can cancel any time with 30 days notice and walk away with all of it. There are no proprietary lock-in formats. We will never hold your data hostage.
