About

Solo founder building MapCrush. Most local SEO tools hand small business owners a dashboard full of scores and competitor data, then leave them to figure out what to actually do with it. MapCrush skips that step. One task a day, five minutes, no interpreting, no guesswork. Built without a dev background, a lot of trial and error, and a belief that small business owners shouldn't need to learn SEO to compete.

Melissa, solo founder of MapCrush

Hi everyone, I'm Melissa, solo founder of MapCrush. I built a tool that shows small business owners exactly where they rank on Google Maps and gives them one simple task a day to improve it, no confusing dashboard, no agency price tag. No dev background, built this with a lot of trial and error and a genuine belief that local businesses deserve better tools than what's currently priced for agencies.

Excited to be part of this community, and happy to swap notes with other solo/bootstrapped founders figuring things out as they go.

MapCrush - Skip the dashboard. One task a day, that's it.

Most local SEO tools show you data and leave you to figure out what to do with it. MapCrush skips that step: one specific task a day, five minutes, no dashboard to interpret. Real visibility heatmap shows exactly where you rank block by block. Built by a solo, non-technical founder, no learning curve.
