Most local businesses lose more work to slow replies than to competitors.

You're with a client. In a meeting. Or just trying to switch off. Then a message lands: "are you free next week?" — and the clock starts.

Five minutes is usually the difference between "we'd love to book you in" and "we went with someone else."

The Numbers:

7x

more likely to win a lead when you respond within 1 hour vs. waiting longer — Harvard Business Review

100x

higher contact rate calling within 5 minutes vs. 30 minutes — MIT

62%

of inbound calls to small businesses go unanswered

5 minutes

is all it takes — after that, your odds of converting drop dramatically

Managed AI, doing the jobs three agencies used to.

Most local businesses pay three separate agencies to run their ads, answer their customers, and chase reviews. We do all three — properly, for less, with one point of contact.

📢

Ads

More of the right people walking through the door. We put you in front of customers who are ready to book — not browsers, not freebie hunters — and only spend money on the creative that's actually pulling them in.

💬

Replies

No more enquiries lost to a slower competitor. The DM that lands at 9pm gets a qualified reply at 9pm and a booking in your diary before that customer pings the next salon down the road.

⭐

Reviews

A digital asset, not just a star rating. Hundreds of new Google reviews a year, asked for automatically every time you finish a job. You climb the local rankings, win the click, and build something that adds real value if you ever come to sell the business.

This isn't a tool you manage. It's a service we run for you.

From £125/month. No setup fee. No contract.

Most clients spend less per month than one missed customer is worth.

Modular: start with one pillar — lead response, reviews, or ads — and add the others once it's paying for itself. A single clinic on enquiries alone pays less than a multi-location business with ads across five postcodes. We'll work it out on the call.

Your first 14 days are on us.

We build it, switch it on, and let it run for two weeks before the first payment. If it isn't what we said it would be, you walk — no payment taken, no awkwardness.

No setup fee · No contract · Cancel anytime

Worst case you'll leave with a list of fixes you can run with yourself.

Don't take our word for it — message the system right now. Send a real enquiry, the kind your customers actually send. See exactly how it replies and how fast.

What changes in the first 90 days.

Before

  • A pile of unread DMs
  • A website that doesn't convert
  • A Google profile with 6 reviews
  • Three agencies billing you separately
  • Leads going cold while you're with a client

After

  • Every enquiry answered before you've put the kettle on
  • Reviews climbing every week
  • Ads running, tuned, and working
  • One predictable monthly fee
  • Your phone stops being a job to manage

Common questions.

A few days to a couple of weeks, depending on scope — enquiry handling only, or the full ads + reviews + replies build. We'll know exactly by the end of the first call.

Plans start at £125/month. You can start with one pillar — lead response, reviews, or ads — and add the others once it's paying for itself. The final number depends on your scope; we'll work it out on the first call. There's never a setup fee, and the first 14 days are on us — your first payment only goes out once the system is live and you're happy with it.

No lock-in. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. The first 14 days are free — if it isn't what we said it would be by the time we switch it on, you walk with no payment taken.

Every setup is built for your specific business — your services, your pricing, your tone. If we can't get it working for you, you get a full refund. Simple as.

Built by one developer, not an agency.

I'm a software developer based in Belfast. I spent years building software for tech companies and watching good tools transform how they work. The same tools almost never reach local service businesses — clinics, salons, trades, accountants — because they don't have a CTO or a software team to wire them in.

That's the gap I built Flow Local to close. Ads, reviews, and replies — running quietly in the background while you're on the work that actually pays.

I meet most clients for coffee around Belfast. When I'm not working you'll probably find me walking my springer spaniel.
