The long version
Everything we do for a local business,
in one place.
No slides, no call required. Every service, its status today, how the pieces fit, and how to start. Read it yourself, or hand this page to your AI and ask what it would mean for your business.
If you own a local business
You’re good at the work. What wears you down is everything around it: the website somebody built years ago, the Google profile nobody updates, the phone that rings while your hands are full, and the agency invoice you can’t explain.
We’re Local Business Factory, in Fort Collins. We build your new website first, free, so you see it before you pay. When you say yes, your business runs on one system: the site, Riley (our AI) answering your phone as your business, every lead on one screen on your phone, and the work that gets you found. We keep it running and show you what it brought in.
Below is all of it. Live means it runs for clients today (that’s 17 things). Rolling out means it’s built and being turned on for clients now. Coming means it’s on the way. We don’t blur those.

Why one team instead of three vendors
Most owners end up with a web designer, an answering service and an ad agency, each with its own login, invoice and version of the truth. When a job comes in, nobody can say which of them earned it.
- One system, one screen. Your site’s leads and Riley’s calls land in one place on your phone, kept by one team that knows the whole picture.
- Built before you pay. You judge your own new site, not a portfolio and a promise.
- You own everything. Your domain, your Google profile, your number, your ad account. You own everything; cancel with a text.
- Measured, never forecast. We don’t promise rankings or a number of leads. We show you what came in.
- Local. We’re in Fort Collins, and we run a local guide and a local magazine here.
Three ways to start
Pick the one that sounds like your week. We tell you the price on the first call. Month to month.
- Open for Business. For a shop with an old site, or none. “People can’t find me, or find me and nothing happens.” We build your new site first, so you see your own before-and-after.
- Never Miss a Customer. For when the phone rings while you’re on a job. “It comes in and then it dies.” Call our line. Riley, an AI, answers it the way she’d answer yours.
- Found and Full. For a business already paying an agency. “I pay them every month and I don’t know what I get.” We read your own ad account and show you where the money goes.
How you get on
- Get your free review. Type your business name. In a minute you see how customers find you and what’s leaking.
- We build your new site first. On a private link, before you pay anything. You see your own before and after.
- Meet us and say yes. We meet in person and tell you the price there. Month to month, and you own everything.
- You’re up and running. Your site goes live on your domain, Riley picks up your calls, and every lead lands on your phone. We show you what it brought in.

Questions owners ask
- What exactly am I buying?
- One of three, depending on what’s getting in the way: Open for Business, Never Miss a Customer or Found and Full. Your proposal names what we build, what we manage, and what your team handles.
- What does it cost?
- We tell you the price on the first call. Month to month. Setup and the monthly are stated separately before any work starts. Advertising spend is paid on your own account, and phone usage and custom integrations are named in your proposal.
- Do I have to replace my website or software?
- We start by looking at what works. A good website, calendar, payment system, or existing provider can stay. We agree the connections and responsibilities before changing anything.
- Who runs it after launch?
- We maintain and support the setup in your agreement. You keep ownership of your business accounts and data, and your team stays involved in the decisions and customer conversations that need you.
- Who picks up when I call?
- Riley, our AI business advisor, answers day and night. Bring her a question about getting customers, following up, or taking routine work off your plate. She can help you think it through, and if you want our team’s help, she passes the request along.
- Do you promise rankings or a number of leads?
- No. Nobody honest can. We promise the work: the site, the answering, the follow-up, the profile and the ads we agree on. Then we measure what it brought in and show you.
- Is this only for Fort Collins businesses?
- We’re based in Fort Collins and most of our clients are in Northern Colorado, but we build for businesses anywhere. There’s a lakefront bar in Wisconsin on this page.
