Main article: Local Blitz methodology
The agency says its slogan means taking “a data-driven and scientific approach” and letting “the data tell us what to do”, and that it offers custom solutions rather than “pre-planned cookie cutter packages”.[5] It also stresses transparency: it reports on lead flow, lead sources and other KPIs agreed at the start of a project, and says it tracks leads “from click to call”.[5] Its published process has four stages: Discovery, Strategize, Implement and Review.[9]

AI search publishing
The Local Blitz website has an “AEO” blog category of guides on answer engine optimization (AEO), generative engine optimization (GEO), Google’s AI Overviews and how businesses can appear in answers from AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Gemini.[11] Simon White’s LinkedIn headline begins “Co-Founder Local Blitz | Digital and AI Marketing Systems”.[7]
