BUILT NOT BEGGED
LocalPro Companion: Content Shortcodes and a Private Inquiry Inbox
A local business site has two jobs that never stop. Put useful content where it belongs, and handle inquiries without losing them or exposing them.
LocalPro Companion handles both, in one free plugin.
What it does
Companion gives you content shortcodes. Shortcodes let you place content in your pages with a simple code instead of rebuilding the same block by hand every time you need it. Build it once, place it where it belongs, and move on.
It also gives you a private inquiry inbox. Inquiries that come through your site land in an inbox that is reviewed by the owner. Private matters here. A customer inquiry carries a name, contact details, and a description of the work they want done. That does not belong in public, and it does not belong scattered where it can be missed. It belongs in one private place where the owner reviews it and acts on it.
Companion also includes optional Elementor and WPBakery controls. If you build with one of those tools, the controls are there for you. If you do not, they are optional, and you are not forced into a builder you do not use.
Who it is for
This is for local business owners and site builders running WordPress who want a cleaner way to reuse content and a safer way to receive inquiries. If your contact process right now is hoping an email arrives and hoping somebody sees it, an owner reviewed inbox on the site itself is a step up.
It is also a natural fit alongside LocalPro designs, for builders who want the companion tools working with the site they already set up.
The problem it solves
Repeated content gets copied, pasted, and slowly drifts out of sync across pages. Inquiries get buried in inboxes full of everything else. Both problems cost local businesses real work, and both are process problems, not effort problems.
Shortcodes fix the repeat content problem. A private, owner reviewed inbox fixes the inquiry problem. Companion puts both fixes in one place.
