What a phone finds
Your customers meet you on a phone, from a search. Here is what that looks like.
Each write-up below is a real East Texas business, walked the way a stranger walks it: search the trade and the town, tap what comes up, try to find the hours, the prices, the phone, and a way to order or book. Every finding comes with the check you can repeat on your own business in a minute. No business is named without its written permission.
The same walk of your own business, with the fixes in order, is the Five minutes with a stranger report: $49 per business, back within 1 business day. Want the walk on your business without paying? Send the business name to the intake form and ask for the free version; it comes back with the findings and no pitch.
2026-09-25 · a seafood restaurant, about 40 miles from Tyler
A popular small-town seafood shop with hundreds of good Google reviews and a busy Facebook page. The search itself works: the panel, the hours, the phone and the Website button all land. Underneath it, the web address the shop used to own now belongs to someone else and forwards to an unrelated site, three directories still carry it, and the hours and phone number disagree from one listing to the next.
2 broken, 4 gaps, 1 fine. Read the walk
These are published under the same rules as the work log: no names, no towns small enough to identify one business, misses included. The checks are the same ones that go into the paid report; the walk is done by Piney and read by a human before it publishes.
