Everything local businesses need, in one place

Local press & podcasts

Hometown coverage on purpose

Pitch the local paper, business journal, and community podcasts with story angles — openings, milestones, local-expert takes — drafted for you and sent from your own email.

SMS campaigns

Repeat visits on demand

Double-opt-in SMS with audit-trail consent — promos, events, and we-miss-you campaigns that bring regulars back without risking compliance trouble.

Social scheduling

Visible every week, not just opening week

AI drafts your posts in your voice and schedules the week in one sitting — consistent presence without hiring a social person.

Booking page & CRM

From inquiry to regular

A public booking page for consults or appointments, and a simple CRM for every customer relationship, lead, and follow-up.

Why local businesses choose PitchIQ

Press beats coupons

A story in the local outlet brings customers in with trust already built — and it's free. Most local businesses never pitch; the column inches go to the ones who do.

Your list is your moat

Instagram reach comes and goes; your opted-in SMS list is yours. Even a few hundred numbers drives reliable slow-day traffic.

One tool, one bill

Replaces the social scheduler, the SMS service, and the booking tool — at less than their combined cost, with everything in one login.

Compliance built in

SMS runs on double opt-in with captured consent language and automatic opt-outs — marketing that won't turn into a TCPA headache.

Frequently asked questions

What would local media even cover about my business?

More than you'd think: anniversaries, new offerings, hiring, community involvement, seasonal expert tips ("what to plant now" from a garden center), and local-economy commentary. PitchIQ helps you find the angle and drafts the pitch.

Is the SMS marketing legal?

PitchIQ's opt-in flow is built for compliance: customers confirm by text (double opt-in), the exact consent language is stored with each record, and STOP always works instantly. You bring your own Twilio number; PitchIQ runs the process correctly.

I don't have time for any of this. How much work is it really?

The realistic loop is ~30-60 minutes a week: approve a batch of social posts, review one or two pitch drafts, and queue an SMS when you have an offer. The drafting, scheduling, and follow-up are the automated part.

Does this replace my Google Business profile or website?

No — it feeds them. Press mentions and steady social give people a reason to look you up; your booking page gives them something to do when they arrive.

What does it cost to start?

Free to start: set up your profile, find local outlets and shows, and draft pitches. Paid plans add sending, SMS campaigns, and social scheduling.
