Ship Local

Hey Makers, Did you know that 46% of Google searches are for local businesses? Imagine building a website in just minutes. With ShipLocal, you can do just that. It takes the headaches out of building and lets you focus on what really matters—finding the right keywords (and we give you plenty of those too). So, what is ShipLocal? It's a tool that lets you create local directories using a CSV file. Think of it like this: Restaurants in [Your City] Bars in [Your City] [Anything] near me We provide a scraper file that pulls all the Google Places in a local area, gathers the relevant information, and plugs it into a CSV file. You can then use that file to generate a fully functioning website. Here's how it works: 1. Drop the CSV file into the data folder. 2. Run three simple commands to build your site. The three commands generate all pages for the csv file, an index page that is fully linked to all external pages. You also get our image scrapper. It looks at all website URL from the csv file and pulls in images from the metatags description. If there was no image found, it's added to a new CSV file for all that. Are you worried about images? Google recommends using originals, but we’ve got you covered with a scraper that finds and downloads images from metadata. TLDR: Scrape data using Google Places API. Pull information into an Excel file. Place the file in the data folder. Run commands to build each page. Open the index.html file to see your site. Add a script for extra pages like contact, pricing, etc. That’s it! Right now, you can get lifetime access for just $69.

Love a good directory business! Fun thing to build with ShipFast.
