Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026.

The short version

  • Enter your details in the free audit, and we can score your business and show you what to fix.
  • The audit runs in your browser. Your answers stay on your device unless you choose to enter your email to save your report.
  • If you give us your email, we use it only to send your report and, occasionally, useful local SEO updates. We never sell it.

What we collect

When you use the free audit, we may collect the information you enter: your business name, website, city and state, plus any optional answers and, if you choose, your name and email.

Across the site we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic and which guides lead to the audit. GA4 uses cookies to collect anonymized, non-personal analytics data.

Cookies

We use cookies only for analytics. Google Analytics 4 stores small first-party cookies (such as _ga and _gid) to distinguish visitors and measure site usage. These cookies are not used for advertising and do not allow us to identify you personally.

You can control or block cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics specifically with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Blocking analytics cookies will not stop the audit from working.

Data stored on your device

The audit stores a small amount of data in your browser's localStorage so that:

  • your saved report details can be recalled if you return (so you don't have to re-type them), and
  • a record of the leads you submitted can be kept by your browser.

localStorage is stored on your own device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

How your email is used

If you enter your email to receive your full report, we use it to send you that report and, from time to time, practical local SEO tips. You can unsubscribe at any time and we will stop sending you emails. We do not sell or rent your email to anyone.

Third-party tools

  • Google Analytics (GA4) — traffic and event analytics.
  • Cloudflare — hosting; serves our pages on this domain.

Some of our pages contain links to external tools and services. When you leave this site, their own privacy policies apply.

Your rights and choices

If you are in the EU/UK or California, privacy law gives you rights over your personal data. Because we collect very little personal data and never sell it, the main choices available to you are:

  • Clear your browser's localStorage to remove saved audit data from your device.
  • Block or delete analytics cookies in your browser, or use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
  • Email us at hello@localbusinessengine.com anytime to ask us to delete or correct any personal data we hold about you.

You are never required to enter personal information to use this site. Entering your email is always optional and purely so we can send you your report.
