We built this because we watched great businesses get buried.
Small Biz Relaunch started after our founder watched his family's hardware store lose customers to a chain — not because the chain was better, but because it showed up on Google first.
The problem we couldn't ignore
In 2019, our founder Marcus Chen watched his uncle's hardware store — a 22-year neighborhood institution — slowly lose business to a big-box chain that had just opened nearby. The chain wasn't better. The prices weren't lower. But when someone searched 'hardware store near me,' the chain showed up first. His uncle's store was on page three.
Marcus had spent a decade in local SEO and digital marketing. He knew exactly what was happening and exactly how to fix it. He spent two weekends optimizing his uncle's Google My Business profile — rewriting the description, adding photos, building a review strategy, and publishing weekly posts.
Within six weeks, the store was in the top three local results. Foot traffic increased 40%. His uncle called it 'the best two weekends Marcus ever spent.'
That's when Marcus realized: every small business in America has this problem. And almost none of them know how to fix it. Small Biz Relaunch was born to change that.
