Everything Guardian does for your business
The work a small business usually cannot keep up with — done continuously.
Your monthly minimum goal
Guardian may go beyond this goal when there are new opportunities for your business.
Why Guardian exists
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
The continuous work Guardian does for a small business, so more customers can find it.
Your services, the areas you serve and what makes you different, so every piece of work fits your business.
What your customers search for on Google and in AI search, where your business could appear and what to work on first.
Blog posts, articles and landing pages, created and improved around real searches.
New content on your website and regular posts on your Google Business Profile keep your business active.
Guardian keeps an eye on your website and, when your WordPress site is compatible, keeps it maintained and up to date.
Clear reports in the app: what was published, what improved and what comes next.
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.
Guardian vs. the alternatives
A comparison of capabilities, not prices. Agencies vary a lot — many do great work — so we describe what is common.
| What you get | Traditional agency | Do it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEO monitoring | Continuous | Often | Manual |
| Google Business content | Included | Depends on the plan | Manual |
| Blog creation | Included | Usually separate | Manual |
| Landing pages | Included | Usually separate | Manual |
| Opportunity discovery | Continuous | Depends | Manual |
| WordPress maintenance | Included when compatible | Usually separate | Manual |
| Reporting | In the app | Often monthly | On your own |
| Continuous work | Every month | Depends on the contract | When you find time |
Based on common practice. Every agency and every business is different.
Guardian Sponsored Business Fund
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.

$990+ to the Sponsored Business Fund
Featured recognition and the right to nominate a small business directly — one nomination for every $990.
$990 or more to Support Guardian is recognized as Guardian Sponsor; Business Sponsor is reserved for the Sponsored Business Fund. You can always stay anonymous: anonymous contributions count in the totals but are never listed.
What a sponsored business receives
The sponsorship is the service itself. For a year, Guardian can help the business:
Where the money goes
Each contribution is recorded in the destination you choose.
Guardian can use it for development, infrastructure, AI, tools, advertising, operations, support and continued growth.
Recorded separately. Every $990 funds 12 months of the service for an eligible business. There is no cash transfer to the business.

Nominate a business
Business Sponsors — contributions of $990 or more to the Sponsored Business Fund — can nominate a small business directly: one nomination for every $990.
A nomination is not an automatic approval. If a business does not qualify, you can nominate another one. Contributions under $990 to the fund do not include a direct nomination.
