Legal
Terms
The rules for using this website, and what you can expect from us as the product becomes available.
Last updated 17 September 2026
Nearly Local is pre-launch. These terms currently cover use of this website. Full service terms — covering subscriptions, payment, and the operation of your Business Profile — will be published and agreed before anyone can sign up.
Using this website
You are welcome to read this site, share it, and get in touch. Please do not attempt to disrupt it, access parts of it that are not public, or use it to send unsolicited messages.
What we are describing
This site describes a product in development. Features are described as we intend them, and some are explicitly marked as not yet available. Nothing here is a guarantee that a particular feature will ship, or ship in the form described.
Where we say something is coming, we mean it — but we would rather tell you plainly that a thing is not built yet than imply otherwise.
What Nearly Local will and will not do
When the service launches, it will act on your Google Business Profile with your permission. Two commitments shape how that works, and they are not marketing lines:
- You remain the owner of your profile. We act as a manager you have authorised, and you can remove that authorisation at any time.
- Changes visible to your customers require your approval, unless you have explicitly chosen to let us handle a specific kind of change on our own — and you can withdraw that at any point.
Things outside our control
Nearly Local depends on Google and other third-party services. What the product can do is limited by what those services permit, and they change their rules from time to time.
We do not control search rankings, and neither does anyone else. We can improve how accurately and completely your business is represented, and how quickly you respond to customers. We cannot promise a position in search results, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
Intellectual property
The Nearly Local name, logo, site design and content belong to us. Your business information belongs to you.
Google and Google Business Profile are trademarks of Google LLC. Nearly Local is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google.
Liability
This website is provided as-is. We take reasonable care to keep it accurate and available, but we do not accept liability for loss arising from use of the website itself. Liability in respect of the service will be dealt with in the service terms published before launch.
Changes
We will update these terms as the product develops, and change the date at the top when we do.
