Get Your Problem FixedThe #1 local SEO mistake I see local business owners make — and it's quietly costing them customers every single week.
It's not a fancy technical issue. It's something simple: inconsistent NAP information.
NAP = your business Name, Address, and Phone number. It sounds basic, but here's the problem — most businesses have slightly different versions of this scattered across the internet without realizing it:
🔹 Website says "123 Main St, Suite 4"
🔹 Google Business Profile says "123 Main Street #4"
🔹 Yelp listing has an old phone number from two moves ago
🔹 A directory site still lists a former business name
To you, these look like minor differences. To Google, they look like uncertainty — is this the same business, or three different ones? When search engines can't confidently confirm your business details, it directly weakens your local rankings. And for customers, an old phone number or wrong address means a lost call or a no-show.
How to fix it:
> Search your business name and see what comes up across Google, Yelp, Facebook, Bing, and any industry-specific directories
> Write down your exact, correct Name, Address, and Phone number — pick one format and use it everywhere, down to the abbreviations (St. vs Street)
> Go through each listing and update anything that doesn't match exactly
> For listings you don't control or can't find the owner of, tools like Moz Local or BrightLocal can help you audit and manage this at scale
This is one of those fixes that takes an afternoon but keeps paying off — clean, consistent NAP data makes it easier for both search engines and customers to trust that they're looking at the right business.
Have you ever actually audited your own NAP consistency? Worth checking today if not — you might be surprised what you find.

Giving a Local Business the Digital Glow Up It Deserves
For the #GiveItAGlow challenge, I chose FACE FOUNDRIÉ, a beauty and skincare business with an existing online presence, and reimagined how customers experience the brand online.
Before
(https://facefoundrie.com/)
Their website shared the right information but left room for a more modern, streamlined customer journey. Visitors had to navigate through multiple pages to find treatments, compare services, and book appointments, with little personalized guidance along the way.
Using Base44, I designed and built a fully responsive website focused on simplicity, elegance, and conversion.
The new experience includes:
✨ A premium, mobile first design
✨ Clear service discovery for facials, brows, lashes, and skincare
✨ A redesigned membership experience
✨ Faster and more intuitive appointment booking
✨ An AI powered Skin Expert that helps customers choose the right treatment based on their skincare goals
Automation
To create real business value, I implemented an AI Superagent that answers frequently asked questions, recommends treatments, guides customers through the booking process, and reduces repetitive customer support. I also added automated appointment confirmations and lead capture to streamline communication and improve the customer experience.
This project demonstrates how thoughtful design and automation can help local businesses save time, improve customer engagement, and create a more memorable digital experience.
Thanks to @Base44 and Contra for creating a challenge that encourages builders to solve real world problems for local businesses.

nice one
Worked as a Creative Strategist at TMF, with Alexandre.
Bizee was one of the brands we tried creative for. Their audience is freelancers filing an LLC, and by the time they reach the brand they've already burned a weekend on "do i need an llc" and "llc vs sole proprietor reddit."
Which one stops your scroll?

Going with the mirror too. If someone already burned a weekend on forums debating llc vs sole proprietor, an ad that says you're ready to file meets them exactly where their head is at, the pitch just restarts the sales conversation they're tired of having.
🚗 What if a local business website could do more than just book appointments?
As part of the Base44 Give It a Glow Challenge, I chose to build a concept inspired by ZZ Mobile Detailing in Colorado Springs—a local business I’ve personally used and had a great experience with.
Their current website does a solid job of showcasing their services and making it easy to get in touch. Instead of redesigning what already works, I wanted to explore what the next evolution of the customer experience could look like.
So I built a concept that expands beyond a traditional website into a complete customer and business platform.
✨ Here’s what I added:
🤖 AI Detail Advisor that recommends the right detailing package based on the customer’s vehicle and needs.
📅 Enhanced booking experience with vehicle profiles, photo uploads for quote requests, and a streamlined mobile-first scheduling flow.
👤 Customer Portal where customers can view appointments, service history, saved vehicles, and quickly book their next detail.
📊 Business Dashboard that gives the owner a centralized place to manage leads, appointments, customers, and key business insights.
⚡ Automations including booking confirmations, appointment reminders, follow-ups, review requests, and maintenance reminders to help reduce repetitive administrative work.
The goal wasn’t to replace an existing website—it was to demonstrate how AI and automation can extend a great local business’s digital experience and create additional value for both customers and business owners.
This is an independent concept created for the Base44 Give It a Glow Challenge and is not an official product currently used by ZZ Mobile Detailing. I chose them because I’ve had a positive experience with their service and thought they would be a great business to showcase.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
