Why small business marketing stalls

Most local businesses aren't bad at what they do.Customers just can't find them online.

01

You pay for marketing but can't see what it brings in

An invoice every month and a report full of "impressions", but no answer to the only question that matters: how many calls and customers did it bring?

02

You don't show up in local search or AI answers

When someone searches "plumber near me" or asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, your competitors get named. Nobody tells you that you're missing.

03

Your Google Ads spend money on the wrong clicks

Clicks from outside your service area, searches for jobs or DIY tips, clicks at 2 a.m. Wasted ad spend adds up quietly every month.

04

You don't have time to learn Google Ads and SEO

You run a business. Learning ad platforms at 11 p.m. isn't a plan, and neither is hoping a three-year-old website still ranks.

How it works

Small business marketing in three steps. The first one is free.

01

Get your free check

Put in your website. In about a minute you'll see one score out of 100, the two or three things actually holding you back, and what's realistically possible, in plain English, no jargon.

02

Talk it through, free

Book a 10-minute call. I'll tell you honestly what I'd do, what it's worth, and what you could just do yourself for free.

03

We run it, you get back to work

Pick a plan and it's handled: your listing, your website basics, your ads, and getting you into the AI answers your competitors already own. One plain report a month.

AI search optimization (GEO)

How ChatGPT and Google's AI decide which local businesses to recommend

AI assistants don't pick favourites. They build an answer from the evidence they can find about a business: Google reviews, your Google Business Profile, local directories, "best of" articles and your own website.

Local SEO for AI search means building and strengthening that evidence until there's enough to recommend you. Anyone who promises to place you inside ChatGPT is guessing. We ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude every week and show you whether it's working.

The answer
you get named in

Six public sources (Google reviews, map listing, best-of articles, directories, your website and social profiles) all feeding into a single AI answer at the centre.

Everything local marketing needs, managed

Local SEO, Google Ads and AI search, in one dashboard

Google Ads built for your city, with a hard budget cap

Every week we ask the questions your customers ask AI assistants and check whether you're recommended, with the reasoning shown, not just a score.

This is what a paid Hespor dashboard looks like

Every screen below is the real layout clients get. Pick a tab to look around. Nothing here needs you to press a button: Hespor runs your Google ads, writes your Facebook and Instagram posts, and checks what ChatGPT and Gemini say about you.

Local business advertising: common questions

How much does Google Ads management cost for a small business in Canada?

Our plans are a flat monthly fee in Canadian dollars, listed on this page, with no percentage of your ad spend. Your ad budget is separate and goes directly to Google. Many local businesses start at about $15–$50 a day, and you set a hard daily limit we can never exceed.

What is local SEO, and how long does it take to work?

Local SEO is everything that helps you appear when people nearby search for what you do: your Google Business Profile, reviews, consistent listings in directories, and a clear website. Quick fixes can show up within weeks; stronger rankings usually build over two to three months.

Do you run Facebook and Instagram ads for local businesses?

Not yet. Facebook and Instagram ads and automatic posting are coming soon, once Meta finishes approving our app. Today Hespor runs your Google Ads, and writes ready-to-post captions and images for Facebook and Instagram that you can share yourself.

What do I need to do after I sign up?

Very little. Add your phone and address, set the most you're happy to spend on ads per day, and connect your Google Ads account. After that Hespor runs your Google ads, writes your posts, sends review requests and does your AI visibility work, and you get a plain report each month.

Will my ads go live without me approving them?

Yes, if you leave Run my ads for me on. We set up tracking, build the campaign and switch it on, always inside the daily limit you set. You can pause any campaign in one click, or turn the switch off and approve each one yourself.

Does it work for online stores?

Yes. If you ship across Canada, your ads reach the whole country instead of your town, they're built from the products on your site, and they use the purchase tracking your store already has.

Can you get my business recommended by ChatGPT?

Nobody outside those companies can place you inside an AI answer, and anyone who promises it is guessing. What works is giving assistants the facts they rely on. Every week we ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude the questions your customers ask, show you who they recommend, publish a fact page about your business that they can read, and tell you which sites they trust so you can get listed there.

What is GEO (generative engine optimization)?

GEO is SEO for AI search. It means making sure assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can find clear, credible information about your business and recommend it when customers ask.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Every plan is month-to-month and you can cancel any time with no exit fee.

Who owns my Google Ads account and Google Business Profile?

You do, always. We work inside your accounts. If you leave, the accounts, history and data stay with you.

Do I need to spend money on ads to work with you?

No. The Local Visibility plan is about being found for free through local SEO. Many businesses should fix that before spending on ads, and we'll tell you if that's you.

Is the local SEO audit really free?

Yes. No card and no account. You get a real report on your real website, and if it says you're in good shape, that's what it will say.

Do you work in French?

Yes. The dashboard, your reports and your emails are available in French, and for Quebec businesses we write your ads, posts and review requests in French.
