Local Web Pilots, defined

As a quick overview of what we mean by Local Web Pilot, so we can begin to get loud and call for them.

“Web Pilot”

Web Pilot is a web expert that helps an organization (their own or others) navigate the web by taking command & control and growing the business online. Read on to learn more about the duties of Local Web Pilots and the scope they may have.

“Local”

The local part is to distinguish and focus on local web experts (pilots) that serve local customers and their local-based businesses.

Duties, Scope of a Local Web Pilot

A complete pilot (or team of Pilots — human and robots) will be able to cover design, development, deployment/publishing, management, monitoring, systems (SOPs, automation, and AI) in the following areas, but not limited to:

`Local SEO`

Manage all aspects of the local business search visibility. This involves optimizing the business's online presence to appear in local search results, managing business listings across various platforms (Google, Apple Maps, Yelp, …), and ensuring consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) information.

`Reputation`

A local web pilot should implement a comprehensive reputation management approach that includes:

Monitoring and responding to customer feedback across all review platforms within 24 hours

Properly escalating negative reviews to management for appropriate handling

Creating (and/or facilitating) personalized responses to positive reviews to build brand loyalty

Continuously monitoring customer sentiment across multiple platforms

Analyzing feedback data to generate actionable business improvements

When implemented effectively, this reputation management system enhances customer relations while improving the business's visibility in local search results and building credibility with potential customers.

Reviews

Q&As

This is an area where we recommend web pilots set up and maintain the infrastructure but work with the client to post the content, so it comes directly from them.

`Website`

The way to publish a website for a restaurant in 2024 and soon to be 2025 are numerous. Even the easy ways, which can (and can not) be the best way — but that is for another article.

`Content`

Blog

Cover all the stages of the cycle

The modern web pilot is expected to cover (and the very least, facilitate) the cycle of designing, developing, deploying, and managing websites, which is commonly known as the Web Development Life Cycle. It consists of these key stages:

Research

Planning

Designing

Content Creation

Development

Testing

Maintenance/Management

Design, Development

These skills will be needed for clients with new businesses and established businesses that already has a website. The businesses website needs to will need to design and develop new features as their business evolves and consumer behavior and the economy change.

Publishing/Deployment

Management

The main thing is that you are or have someone to manage it, reliably, within a day - preferably, within the hour.

Your Robots are welcome.

If you deploy an AI workforce of agents, automation, and assistants - even better. In fact, we expect you to use AI to help provide value for your local small business clients.
