Lucas and Luna stand outside a sunlit Main Street storefront, coffees in hand, tablet showing an abstract local-map mockup. Their conversation is about the real tactics that make a small business visible to local customers — not SEO theory, but the actual steps a florist in Portland or a bike repair shop in Austin can take to rank on Google Maps, earn reviews that convert, and show up in the local pack when someone searches 'plumber near me'. Each episode picks one hyper-specific tactic: how to structure a Google Business Profile description, which categories matter most, why 3-word reviews beat 20-word ones, what to do when a competitor hijacks your listing, how local link-building actually works when you don't own a blog. They never talk in generalities. If Lucas mentions a case — say, a pizzeria that doubled walk-ins by optimizing its Q&A section — Luna pushes for the exact wording, the timeline, the numbers. The listener is a business owner who runs operations, manages their own on

How Local Businesses Win With Offline Data
Sep 13, 20268 minS4
Most local businesses treat their physical location as a static anchor on a map, but the real competitive edge comes from understanding how foot traffic flows through a neighborhood before anyone searches for them. This episode explores the untapped power of offline data—loyalty card scans, point-of-sale receipts, and in-store Wi-Fi usage—to build hyper-local search dominance. We look at how independent retailers are using transaction history to predict seasonal demand, optimize inventory, and trigger precise geo-fenced marketing campaigns that big box chains simply can't replicate. By connecting what happens inside their four walls with what happens outside on the street, small business owners can turn passive map viewers into active customers. #LocalSEO #GoogleMaps #OfflineData #FootTraffic #SmallBusinessMarketing #GeoFencing #CustomerAnalytics #RetailStrategy #PointOfSale #LoyaltyPrograms #NeighborhoodMarketing #ConsumerBehavior #DigitalTransformation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #MarketingTips #StorefrontSuccess Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Why Your Local Business Fails on Maps Without These Three Signals
Sep 12, 202610 minS4
Most local business owners think Google Maps is just a digital yellow pages, but it is actually a trust engine that prioritizes proximity and relevance. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down the three hidden signals that determine whether your shop appears in the coveted local pack: physical proximity verification, keyword-rich category precision, and review velocity. Using a case study of a downtown hardware store that doubled its foot traffic by optimizing these specific data points rather than buying ads, we explain why hyper-local SEO is less about global visibility and more about winning the neighborhood search. If you run a brick-and-mortar location, understanding how Google validates your physical presence through citations and consistent NAP data will change how you manage your online presence. #LocalSEO #GoogleMaps #SmallBusinessMarketing #DigitalMarketingTips #SearchEngineOptimization #GoogleBusinessProfile #LocalPackRankings #NAPConsistency #ReviewVelocity #HyperLocalMarketing #ConsumerBehavior #OnlineReputation #MapSearch #BusinessGrowth #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingStrategy #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Local Businesses Use AI Photos to Boost Map Rankings
Sep 11, 20268 minS4
Most local businesses treat Google Business Profile photos as an afterthought, uploading blurry snapshots of their storefront or menu. But a new wave of data suggests that AI-enhanced imagery—specifically optimized lighting, consistent branding, and high-resolution interior shots—is becoming a hidden lever for local SEO dominance. In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into how small shop owners are using generative tools to create 'hero images' that drive clicks and conversions, moving beyond the old rule of just posting whatever was on their phone camera roll. #LocalSEO #GoogleMaps #SmallBusinessMarketing #AIGeneratedContent #VisualMarketing #GoogleBusinessProfile #PhotographyTips #DigitalTransformation #ConsumerBehavior #BrandConsistency #ClickThroughRate #SearchEngineOptimization #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingStrategy #TechTrends2026 #LocalCommerce #VisualContent Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

How Local Businesses Capture Invisible Search Traffic
Sep 9, 202610 minS4
Most local businesses optimize for what people type, but a growing share of searches are invisible—spoken commands like 'find a plumber near me' or 'coffee shop open now.' In this episode, we explore how voice search changes the geometry of local SEO. We look at specific data from recent consumer behavior studies showing that voice queries are longer, more conversational, and often lack location context because the device already knows where you are. Lucas breaks down why traditional keyword stuffing fails here, while Luna shares an anecdote about a local diner that rewrote its website FAQ to match natural speech patterns. The result was a measurable lift in map pack visibility without changing their core services. #LocalSEO #VoiceSearch #GoogleMaps #SmallBusinessMarketing #NaturalLanguageProcessing #ConversationalQuery #LocalSearchOptimization #MobileSearchBehavior #SmartSpeakerUsage #OnTheGoSearch #LongTailKeywords #FAQStrategy #DigitalMarketingTips #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingStrategy #ConsumerInsights #SearchEngineAlgorithm Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
