Why Guardian exists

Small businesses deserve to be found.

Most small businesses know their customers look for them online. What they rarely have is the time, the team or the budget to keep working on it every week. Guardian exists to do that continuous work for them.

How Guardian works

What Guardian does for you. Every month.

The continuous work Guardian does for a small business, so more customers can find it.

  1. 01 · Learn

    Guardian learns your business.

    Your services, the areas you serve and what makes you different, so every piece of work fits your business.

  2. 02 · Find

    It finds opportunities.

    What your customers search for on Google and in AI search, where your business could appear and what to work on first.

  3. 03 · Improve

    It improves your website and content.

    Blog posts, articles and landing pages, created and improved around real searches.

  4. 04 · Publish

    It publishes and strengthens your Google presence.

    New content on your website and regular posts on your Google Business Profile keep your business active.

  5. 05 · Protect

    It monitors and maintains.

    Guardian keeps an eye on your website and, when your WordPress site is compatible, keeps it maintained and up to date.

  6. 06 · Report

    It reports what is happening.

    Clear reports in the app: what was published, what improved and what comes next.

  7. 07 · Keep working

    And it keeps working. Continuously.

    Review, correct, publish and look for the next opportunity, month after month.

You run your business. Guardian keeps working.

Now imagine giving all of this to a small business for an entire year.

Ways to support

Guardian vs. the alternatives

What each option usually includes.

A comparison of capabilities, not prices. Agencies vary a lot — many do great work — so we describe what is common.

Guardian Sponsored Business Fund

Now imagine giving a small business access to all of this for an entire year.

A family bakery. A cleaning company. A neighborhood repair shop. Businesses that work hard every day but cannot hire a team for their digital presence. The Guardian Sponsored Business Fund makes that year possible.

One-time payments only. You choose the amount, from $1 USD.
