LOCAL BIZ HQ

A Central Operations Hub for Local Biz Sites.

Local Biz HQ is a private internal platform used to manage clients, projects, websites, recurring care, business health, lead development and authorised business communications across Local Biz Sites and related brands.

It brings operational information into one controlled workspace so the business can stay organised, respond to issues quickly and manage growth without relying on disconnected tools.

Google Workspace Integration

Local Biz HQ connects authorised Google Workspace mailboxes through Google OAuth. The app uses Gmail access to synchronise business conversations and, where sending is enabled, to send messages that have been reviewed and approved inside Local Biz HQ.

Requested Gmail permissions are limited to reading Gmail data and sending email from authorised accounts. Local Biz HQ does not delete messages, archive messages, mark messages read or unread, or modify Gmail labels.

One Place to Run the Operational Side of the Business.

Local Biz HQ is designed as an internal operating system rather than a customer-facing product. It brings the information needed to run the business into one structured workspace.

Clients & Projects

Keep customer records, project stages, tasks, notes and business-unit relationships organised in one place.

Website & Infrastructure Health

Monitor public website availability and keep a quick view of connected Cloudways infrastructure and application health.

Care & Billing

Track recurring care plans, Stripe subscription status, payments and business-unit recurring revenue without writing back to Stripe.

Growth & Outreach

Manage leads, discovery, follow-ups, Gmail conversations and owner-approved outreach from the same Growth workspace.

System Health & Controls

Monitor integrations, scheduled jobs and data integrity with alerts, audit history and owner-only administration.

CONTROLLED GOOGLE ACCESS.

Authorised by You. Controlled by You.

Google account access is granted through OAuth and remains tied to the specific account that approved it. Local Biz HQ only requests the permissions needed for the features in use.

01

Connect Your Account

You choose the Google Workspace account to connect and review the permissions on Google’s consent screen.

02

Synchronise Conversations

Authorised Gmail data is synchronised into Local Biz HQ so business conversations can be organised and linked to leads or clients.

03

Review & Classify

The inbox separates prospect conversations from marketing, system notifications and other mail so only relevant items require attention.

04

Approve Outbound Email

Sending is owner-controlled. A message must pass eligibility and suppression checks and be reviewed before Local Biz HQ can send it.

05

Disconnect Whenever You Want

You can disconnect an email account from Local Biz HQ and revoke Google account access whenever required.

No autonomous bulk sending. No tracking pixels. No hidden Gmail modification permissions.

PRIVACY & CONTROL.

Designed Around Least-Privilege Access.

Local Biz HQ is built to use only the access required for its internal business workflows. Google account data is used to provide the connected features and is not sold or used for advertising.

Limited Gmail Permissions

Gmail access is limited to the authorised scopes required for synchronising email and sending owner-approved messages.

Internal Business Use

Connected data supports internal client, lead, project and communication workflows inside Local Biz HQ.

No Sale of Google User Data

Google user data is not sold to advertisers or used to build advertising profiles.

Owner-Controlled Sending

Outbound email is subject to sender, suppression and eligibility checks and requires owner approval before external sending.

You remain in control of your connection.

You can disconnect a mailbox from Local Biz HQ or revoke the app’s Google access from your Google Account. For more detail about how Local Biz HQ handles Google user data, read the dedicated Privacy Policy.
