Customers can't recommend a business they can't find
Not every customer is searching for you at the moment they need you. Often they're remembering you, because they saw your posts, noticed your name on an ad, or came across a well-kept Google profile. That kind of recognition doesn't happen by accident, and it disappears fast when a profile goes stale or social accounts sit quiet for months.
Local Presence keeps every one of those touchpoints active and consistent. It's built for businesses that grow through reputation, repeat customers and referrals as much as through direct searches, and it runs inside Propel so you can see it all in one place.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is local presence for a small business?
Local presence is how visible and recognizable your business is in your community online. It includes your Google Business Profile, your social media activity and the ads people see around town. Propel keeps all of them active and consistent.
How does a Google Business Profile help local SEO?
A complete, accurate and active Google Business Profile is one of the biggest factors in showing up in Google's map results for nearby searches. Propel keeps your categories, hours, service areas, photos and posts up to date.
How often will Propel post to my social media?
Posting frequency is set with you based on your goals and industry. We confirm it during your demo, since the right cadence differs by business and platform.
What are display ads?
Display ads are visual, banner-style ads shown on websites and apps your local audience uses. They keep your name in front of people between searches.
How soon will I see results?
Awareness builds over weeks and months, not overnight. Most businesses see meaningful traction within two to three months, and we'll set realistic expectations for your market during your demo.
Is there a contract?
No. HypeLocal works month to month, with no long-term contracts.
