GotLocal vs B12
AI + human designers for $399/month. We skip the humans and give you 10x the pages for less.
B12 takes an interesting hybrid approach: AI generates a starting point, then human designers polish it. The result is a professional-looking 5-15 page website. But at $399/month for a handful of pages, you're paying premium prices for a standard website. GotLocal builds your site free, with a page for every service you offer, and runs it from $299 a month.

Where B12 Falls Short for Local Businesses
Only 5-15 pages per site: human design doesn't scale to a page for every service and city
At $399/month, you're paying luxury prices for a standard number of pages
Human designers are a bottleneck: changes take days, not minutes
No local SEO architecture at scale. Each location page would need manual design
No content enrichment: AI generates generic copy, humans make it prettier
You're paying for design labor that doesn't improve your search rankings
