Why KC Heartbeat exists
Social platforms and search engines hide local businesses unless they pay for ads, master constantly changing algorithms, or already have strong SEO and tech resources. KC Heartbeat removes those barriers.
We exist so consumers can find local businesses easily, businesses can find collaborators and vendors locally, and the Kansas City economy strengthens from the inside out.
KC Heartbeat is a free, permanent digital home for Kansas City businesses — built so our local economy isn't dependent on platforms that can disappear, suppress reach, or sell our data.

No website? No problem.
Businesses without a website get a Free Existence Page — a stable, permanent place on the internet that you own. Not a social profile that can disappear. Not a listing buried in search results. A real page, at a real address, that says "we exist."
This isn't a takeover. It's a foundation — so you have something real while you build what's next.
