Why we built Locolify — in our own words, from a real shop (English subtitles + auto-translate to any language)
Read the transcript
It really started when we realized that most of our customers find our business through Google Maps — so paying attention to our Google Business Profile really matters. It needs constant activity, regular updates, and the keywords customers actually search for. That meant sitting down to reply to customers all the time, and getting them to leave reviews — because the more reviews, the more keywords about your shop. My shop is a vegan restaurant, so “vegan” comes up a lot. But I have a business to run, and answering every review by hand, every day, eats up your time — especially early on. So we built Locolify, at first just to use for ourselves, because replying to reviews helps Google Maps show your shop to more people and rank higher. It started as just replies, then became full-featured: AI helps you get the highest MEO Score, finds the keywords customers search, weaves them into replies naturally, checks your score, and creates scheduled posts for you. It even turns a great 5-star review into a beautiful image in one click, ready to post. And it always tells you what to do next, like a personal trainer for your Google Business Profile. Since we started using it, many of our Thai search keywords climbed in ranking within two months — from a low base. Once we’d built it, we wanted to share it with people who don’t know SEO. So I want you to trust that Locolify is an app I built for my own shop, and it’s already delivered real results. Give it a try and see if it helps your shop — especially if you’re a restaurant, but any business that gets customers through Google search. And if you have feedback, just reach out to our support.
