For people looking at the company

Be the answer when your town asks.

Frontage is the desk a local shop uses to be named when a neighbor asks Maps or an assistant.

This page is for informational purposes and to gauge interest only. It is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

The opportunity

Local discovery is leaving the search box. Most shops are not ready.

A neighbor used to scan a page of blue links. Now they open a map, or they ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini for a restaurant or a plumber in their town. The answer is a short list of names. A shop that still treats the listing as a one-time form is absent from that list.

01
The question moved
From a Google search to a pin on Maps, and then to an assistant that names two or three businesses out loud.
02
The shops are behind
Reviews go unanswered, the category is generic, and the words on the profile do not name the town. Nobody is watching what the assistants say.
03
The buyers are everywhere
Millions of local businesses in the United States, plus the agencies that look after more than one of them. This page does not invent a count.

What Frontage can do

The desk already does the work. An owner still decides what goes out.

These panels are the Grayslake sample, the same one on the public demo. They show what the product can do. They are not customer results, and they are not a forecast.

Review replies

Drafts in the shop’s voice, with a rule for what may publish

4 and 5 star replies can publish themselves. Anything harsher stays a draft until an owner edits it. The desk does not ask a guest to change a star.

The cacio e pepe tasted like it came off a Roman side street, and our server knew the Lake County wines.

Hi Priya — thank you for writing about the cacio e pepe. We hope the next visit feels just as easy.Rule: 5 stars · can auto-publish

Review growth

The same ask, for every recent customer

One SMS or email. One Google review link. No discount, no star gate, and no quieter path for an unhappy guest. The copy is checked before anyone is contacted.

Sample desk · same template for the whole list

Hi {{name}}, thank you for visiting Lakeside Trattoria. If you have a minute, a Google review helps neighbors find us: {{review_link}}

Blocked: gifts, “five stars only”, and hiding the link.

Local keywords

Words that name the town, approved before they go live

Category, description, services, and posts are suggested from the shop and the city. Nothing is applied until an owner says so.

Sample desk · suggestion, not a rank

Description

Italian dinner in Grayslake

Name the town and the meal, not a slogan. Approve, then apply. Roll it back if it was wrong.

ApproveReject

Google Business Profile

Fixes land with a history, and a way back

An approved edit writes the profile and keeps the previous text. A later mistake can be rolled back. In this demo the write stays inside Frontage until Google approves API access.

Sample desk · Lakeside description

Before. Italian dinner on Center Street. Pasta, wine, and a quieter room for weeknights.

After approval. Italian dinner on Center Street in Grayslake. Pasta, wine, and a quieter room for weeknights.

AI visibility

Ask the town’s own question more than once

The prompt names that city. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini each answer several times, because one reply moves. The result is a sample, not a rank you can buy.

Where it can go

The same desk, past a single storefront.

Multi-location

An agency login already switches between shops. The next step is running many towns as the normal way the product is used, not a hidden setting.

Agencies and white-label

Agencies are in the product today under the Frontage name. A later version can wear the agency’s own name.

More assistants

The check currently samples ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Other engines can be added the same way: several samples, labeled when they are demo data.

More countries

The sample is a US town. The work — listing, reviews, and a local question — is the same shape in other countries once the directories are there.

Business model

Software, priced per location each month.

These are product prices. They are not investment terms. Each plan includes a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime online. Once a paid period starts, that period is not refunded. Without Stripe keys, choosing a plan in the demo records a local subscription and charges nothing.

Roadmap

Google Business Profile writes, after Google approves API access. Until then the demo stays local.
White-label for agencies, and a desk that expects many locations.
More assistants, added as extra samples rather than a single answer.
Towns outside the United States, once the directories match.
