👋 Welcome to SearchyFound
You’re in. SearchyFound is for business owners, marketers, entrepreneurs, and people building something who want to take control of their online presence instead of being told they need to hire somebody for everything. The goal here is simple: Give you the tools, training, workflows, and real-world examples you need to get your business found. That includes: - Websites - Regular Google Search - Google Maps - AI search - Content - Video - Tools and workflows that make all of it easier Where should I start? 1. Watch the Start Here video on this post. You already did that if you’re reading this. Look at you go. 2. Take a quick look through the Classroom. Lessons are intentionally kept bite-sized. One lesson = one outcome. You do not need to sit through three hours of training before you can accomplish something. Work through what you need, when you need it. 3. Introduce yourself in the community. Tell us: - Who you are - What business or project you’re working on - What you’re trying to grow - Where you could use some help Don’t just lurk. Ask questions. Share what you’re building. Show us what worked. Show us what blew up. That’s the point of having a community instead of just another course library. 4. Start the first core training. We’re beginning with the foundation: Build a Real Business Website Without Paying a Fortune You’ll learn how to build a professional business website using the same general process behind SearchyFound — without needing to become a web developer and without paying for expensive hosting before you actually need it. Then we’ll build on that foundation with search, Maps, AI search, content, video, and more. 🚧 SearchyFound is being built in public This community is going to keep changing. I’m actively building and testing tools, workflows, experiments, websites, content systems, and other SearchyFound projects. When something is useful, I’ll turn it into something you can use here. That means new lessons, tools, templates, walkthroughs, updates, experiments, and Build With Me content will continue to show up as they’re created.

I sent a customer to 58 local businesses. Not one got the job.
New video is up! 🎬 Meet Mrs. Henderson. Her AC dies on a 97-degree day, and she needs help NOW. So I sent her to 58 real local businesses: plumbers, electricians, HVAC and more. Every single one lost her. To hire you, a customer has to get through 5 doors: 1️⃣ Google search 2️⃣ The map 3️⃣ Your website 4️⃣ Your call button 5️⃣ AI (ChatGPT) Here's how the 58 did: 🔎 0 of 58 showed up on Google for their service + city 📍 0 of 58 made the map's top 3 ⭐ The typical business had 3 reviews. The ones beating them? 383. 📱 Only 2 of 58 passed every website check 🚪 22 lost her before she got through a single door These aren't bad businesses. They're probably great at the work. They just can't be found. Here's the video 👇 [https://youtu.be/A3gTz2GCc_E] 🧪 YOUR HOMEWORK At the end of the video I show you how to run the Mrs. Henderson test on your own business in 10 minutes. Do it tonight, then come back and comment: 👉 Which door did YOUR business lose her at? 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5? I'll reply to every one with where to start. Want the fixes? They're in the classroom: 📍 Maps: Local SEO & Maps Visibility https://www.skool.com/searchyfound/classroom/3f5b6672?md=b4ce751825ad4aec8db543b7bf5254dd ⭐ Reviews: Reviews, Authority & Trust https://www.skool.com/searchyfound/classroom/3f5b6672?md=dd5c1571e3434c0199dcc6cdf49b09e5 📊 Get your real score on all 5 doors: FoundScore https://www.skool.com/searchyfound/classroom/445c97f7?md=76d32de04f41493ba60f0519930895ca (Stick around for the bloopers at the end. 😂) Get Found. Get Chosen. Grow.

New here? Start with this one. Local SEO in plain English 🏡
New video: Mrs. Henderson leans over the fence and asks the neighbors, "Anyone know a good plumber?" That's local SEO. Except now the fence is Google. If you're new to the community, this is the "start here" video. What's in it: 📍 Where you show up: the map, the regular results and AI answers 🧩 The 3 big pieces: 1️⃣ Your Google Business Profile 2️⃣ Your website 3️⃣ Your reputation (reviews) 📅 What a normal week of it looks like 🚫 What it can do, and what nobody can promise you Watch it here 👉 https://youtu.be/1-ZWe0M7lH8 🎁 Free prompt (paste it into ChatGPT or Claude and fill in the brackets): "I run a [type of business] in [your town]. Here is my website: [your web address]. My Google Business Profile has [number] reviews and my main category is [category]. Look at the three pieces of local SEO: my Google Business Profile, my website and my reviews. Tell me which piece is weakest, and give me 3 simple things I can do this week to fix it. Use plain words, no jargon." Your homework (10 minutes): 1. Run the prompt above. 2. Post your weakest piece in the comments. 3. I'll point you to the walkthrough here in the community that fixes it. Which piece came back weakest for you? 👇

Which judge is beating you on Google Maps? 🪑
New video: why your competitors rank above you on Google Maps, and how to pass them. In our last Mrs. Henderson Test, we checked 58 local businesses. Zero of them made the map's top 3. Google Maps is musical chairs with three chairs, and three judges decide who sits. The 3 judges (straight from Google's own help page): ⚖️ Relevance: does Google know what you do? Main category, services, description. 📍 Distance: how close are you to the person searching? You mostly can't change this one. (And fake addresses can get you suspended.) ⭐ Prominence: how well known and trusted are you? Reviews, photos, website, mentions around town, and staying active. Your competitor isn't lucky. They're beating you on one of these three. Watch it here 👉 https://youtu.be/j4-2ww4VmtM The full step-by-step is in the "Local SEO & Maps Visibility" lesson in Get Found. Your homework (tonight): check your main category, fill in every service you offer, search your service and town in a private tab, and write down who's in the three chairs. Then tell me below: which judge is beating you? Relevance, distance or prominence? 👇
