John Collin Black
I help local businesses get found.
By people — and by AI. I build practical tools and run real community experiments, then turn what works into services small businesses can actually use.
About
I'm a builder based in Kentucky. I start from a simple question — what's actually stopping this business from being found? — and work forward from evidence, not hype.
Right now most of my time goes into AI Readiness HQ, which scores how clearly AI systems can understand a local business, and into running the Nosy Network, a growing network of local Facebook communities — a living laboratory for what makes local communities pay attention online, starting in Hart County, Kentucky.
Selected work
