Website Creation for Local Businesses
Website Creation for Local Businesses is a service that identifies local businesses without websites and offers to create simple websites for them, potentially in exchange for marketing services. It was pitched on Koerner Office, hosted by Chris Koerner, in the episode "I Told an AI Agent to Make Me Money. It Did. - Ep. #303" (aired May 25, 2026).

The problem it solves
Many local businesses lack an online presence, which limits their visibility and customer reach.
How it makes money
Freemium model where businesses receive a free website if they sign up for a marketing package, priced between $300 to $700 a month.
Skills you need
Web development skills, sales skills for outreach, and knowledge of local business marketing strategies.
The market, and why this works now
Restaurant owners with under $2M revenue often lack a website, limiting their customer reach. The recent shift towards local search optimization makes this an ideal time to offer website creation services. A viable first-revenue move is to engage with local chambers of commerce to promote website packages alongside marketing services. A founder may face challenges in managing the technical aspects of building and maintaining multiple websites, especially with varying client requirements and expectations.
