You make marketing decisions
without the information to make them well.
Every week: promotions, timing, competitor moves, pricing decisions. You're making them from instinct because the tools that actually help are out of reach.
Marketing agency
$1,500–$4,000/mo
Retainer pricing built for enterprise. Not for an independent business with a small team.
Human consultant
$150–$400/hr
Sporadic at best. No market context. Gone after the invoice.
Generic AI tools
No local context
ChatGPT doesn't know Calgary, your competitors, or your margins.
The real problem
Owners want strategic guidance. They can't afford a retainer.
The tools that exist don't fill the gap.
What if you had a strategist
watching everything for you?
Not a content generator. Not a dashboard. A marketing strategist powered by AI that analyses your local market, watches your competitors, and gives you reasoning you can argue with.

Competitor Watch

Monday morning.
Your market, read for you.

- Calgary occasion & event context relevant to your business type
- Weather and demand signal analysis
- Named competitor activity with strategic implications
- One or two specific, evidence-backed recommendations
- What signals to watch as the week unfolds

Ask the question
you've been sitting on.

- Full market context pulled in automatically
- All your tracked competitors checked before every response
- Recommendation with the reasoning shown, not a verdict
- Ranked alternatives when your original idea has issues
- Follow-up questions preserve full session context

We start watching
LocalPulse begins scraping your competitors, tracking Calgary's occasion calendar, and building your local market baseline. Your first brief arrives Monday.
Strategy, on demand
Every Monday you get a brief. Anytime you face a decision, you get a session. Friday check-ins feed into the next Monday's analysis.
Built for your market.
Not built for "everywhere."
Generic insights are commodity. LocalPulse knows the occasions that move demand in your area, your competitors' patterns, and what it all means for your specific business. Over 200 occasions tagged with niche relevance, lead times, and historical demand signals.

Why founding member pricing?
The first 12 owners aren't just customers. They're shaping the product. Their feedback, their sessions, and their outcomes directly improve LocalPulse for everyone who comes after. The lower rate is recognition of that.
What founding members commit to
- Weekly engagement, logging in unprompted
- Acting on at least one recommendation
- Friday check-in replies during pilot
- Honest feedback on what's working and what isn't
Limited to 12 founding members per market
Founding members only. The concentrated pilot is deliberate — dense data per market is the product's early moat.
The offer
Stop making marketing decisions alone.
LocalPulse is built for one thing: giving independent local business owners the strategic guidance they've never had access to. At a price that makes sense.
