# LocalBasics

> LocalBasics keeps a single-location small business's core information (name, address, phone, hours, categories, photos) accurate across Google, Apple Maps, Bing, voice assistants, and the directories customers actually use. It is a one-time, lifetime purchase with unlimited updates, not a monthly subscription.

LocalBasics is a self-serve listings-management product for single-location small businesses. A business onboards once, and its listing data is synced and kept accurate everywhere people search. Monetization is a single one-time payment for lifetime access, with no recurring fees.

Tagline: "Your listings, locked and loaded."
