Corner Presence

Chicago local businesses

Reviews answered, posts kept up, and a simple assistant on your website.

You already have a shop to run. Corner Presence handles the monthly work of watching your reviews, drafting replies, keeping your Google profile and social page active, and — if you want it — putting a small question-and-booking assistant on your site.

Work is drafted with AI tools and read by a person before it goes out. You keep ownership of your accounts.

Who it’s for

Chicago local businesses: restaurants, salons, clinics, shops, trades, and other neighborhood services that already have a Google Business Profile, or are ready to use one.

It is a good fit if you want reviews answered on a steady schedule, a few honest posts each month, and an optional assistant that can answer common questions on your website. It is not a fit if you want paid ads, a guaranteed map-pack ranking, or a large marketing department on retainer.

We work with one location at a time. If you have more than one, ask and we will quote that separately.

What you get

Review care

New Google reviews are watched, and a reply is drafted in your voice. You approve the first round. After that, you can keep approving every reply, or ask us to post the routine ones and only send the sensitive or negative ones your way. A person still reads each draft.

A simple way to ask for reviews

You get a QR code, short wording for a receipt or email, and a printable sign for the counter. Every customer gets the same ask. We do not write reviews, buy them, or send requests only to people who had a good visit.

Posts, on the mid and full plans

Google Business Profile posts, plus posts on a Facebook Page or Instagram account you already have. Written from what you send us — hours, offers, events, photos. If you do not have a photo, we may use a free stock photo and keep a record of where it came from.

A website assistant, on the full plan

A small question-and-booking helper on your site. It answers from a script you approve, and it can take a booking request or send someone to your existing booking link or phone number. It is not a full reservation system.

Every plan also includes a short monthly recap: what came in, what went out, and anything that needs your eye.

How it works

Step 1

Request a free 15-minute review

Email us below. There is no sales call. We look at your public Google profile and website and write back with what we noticed, what we would handle, and which plan, if any, is a fit. That review is free, and you are not obligated to continue.

Step 2

You keep ownership, and you grant only the access we need

For every plan, that is Manager access to your Google Business Profile — not Owner. If we are posting on a social page, you add us as an editor or admin on the page, not by handing over your personal login. If we are adding the website assistant, you (or your web person) give us just enough access to install it.

Step 3

We start the monthly work

The first replies and posts come to you for approval. After that, you choose whether to keep approving everything or to let routine items go out after our review. You can cancel any month.

Plans

All plans are month to month, for one Chicago location. Cancel by email before the next billing date. The month you have already paid for is your last month.

One-time setup

Website assistant setup — $499

Charged when the assistant is added, including the first month of Full. It covers the intake, a draft script, installing a small widget on your site, and two rounds of changes. The assistant answers common questions and can take a booking request or point someone to the booking tool or phone number you already use. It is not a custom-built app and it does not replace a full booking platform.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to draft review replies, posts, and the website assistant’s answers. A person reviews that work before a customer sees it, and you approve the first round.

We tell you this up front because the drafts should sound like your business, not like a template, and because a tool can get a fact wrong. The assistant will be set up to offer a way to reach a person when it is unsure.

What AI does not do

AI does not write reviews in your customers’ names, and it does not decide your prices, refunds, or medical or legal advice. Those stay with you.

Straight talk

We cannot promise a higher ranking, a spot in the map pack, a set number of new reviews, a higher star rating, or a set number of new customers. We do not run paid ads. We do not write, buy, or incentivize reviews.

The point of this work is simpler: reviews get a careful answer, your public pages do not go quiet for months, and people who land on your site can get a straight answer or a way to book.

FAQ

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Plans are month to month. Email us before the next billing date if you want to stop. The month you already paid for is the last one.

Will you take over my Google profile?

No. You stay the owner. We only need Manager access, and you can remove us at any time.

Can you guarantee more reviews or better placement on Google?

No. Anyone who guarantees that is overselling. We can help you ask every customer the same way, and we can help you answer the reviews you get. Google decides the rest.

What does the website assistant actually do?

It answers frequent questions from a script you approve — hours, services, parking, how to book — and can collect a request or send the person to your existing booking link or phone number. It will not take a payment or run a full calendar. If it is unsure, it should point the person to you.

What do you need from me each month?

Access to start, plus a short note when something changes: hours, a new service, a photo, an event, or how you want a complaint handled. The more you send, the more specific the posts can be. If a month is quiet, we can still keep the profile active with useful, accurate updates.

How do I get started?

Send a note with your business name, neighborhood or address, website if you have one, and the Google profile link if you have it. We will look at the public information and write back with a short read and a suggested next step.

No phone calls, and no obligation to hire us afterward.
