About Local Answers
Why We Exist

We started Local Answers because local search is changing.

For decades, local businesses focused on showing up in search results. Today, more customers are asking AI platforms for recommendations instead of searching traditional search engines.

We created Local Answers to help business owners understand this shift and adapt with clarity and confidence.

We help businesses understand how AI platforms view, evaluate, and recommend local companies.

Improve

We identify practical opportunities to strengthen the signals AI platforms trust.

Monitor

We track changes over time as AI-driven discovery continues to evolve.

Our Story

Rooted in Forsyth County.
Built for Local Businesses.

Our family has called Forsyth County home for more than 25 years. We've raised our family here, built careers here, and watched this community grow.

As AI continues to change the way people discover and choose businesses, we saw a growing gap between great local companies and the way AI platforms recommend them.

Local Answers was created to help bridge that gap.

We combine decades of experience in marketing, technology, and local business growth with a simple mission:

Help great businesses get recognized, understood, and recommended by AI.

Local First

We believe local businesses are the backbone of every community.

Trust Matters

AI recommendations are built on trust. So is our business.

Family Owned

We're building something our children can be proud of.

Long-Term Thinking

We focus on sustainable visibility, not shortcuts.

Service Over Sales

We succeed when our clients become the obvious recommendation.

Meet the Founder

Shawn Craig

Founder & CEO, Local Answers

Shawn Craig has spent more than 25 years in sales and marketing — working nationally with some of the most performance-driven organizations in the country. As Head of Marketing at CINC, he oversees demand generation, brand strategy, SEO, AEO, GEO, and marketing analytics at scale.

Shawn founded Local Answers for his sons and the small businesses of Forsyth County. He watched AI search quietly reshape how customers find and choose local businesses — and saw that most small business owners had no idea it was happening. Local Answers exists to close that gap: to give local businesses the same AI visibility advantages that national brands take for granted, so the best business in the room is also the one AI recommends.
