Most affiliate programs reward transactions. We reward long‑term business builders.

Local Dominator is building a professional partner ecosystem, not a passive referral program.

We want partners who actively help businesses adopt better local and AI visibility strategies, introduce qualified customers, educate the market, and grow alongside us.

The more value you create, the more opportunity you unlock.

Why Local Dominator is different

Four things make these commissions unusually durable.

Businesses need visibility continuously

Local visibility is not a one‑time problem. Businesses keep investing in rankings, reviews, citations, reporting, AI visibility, and customer acquisition because those activities directly affect revenue. That creates recurring subscription revenue — and recurring partner income.

AI search is creating a new market

Businesses now need visibility beyond Google — across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. AI search is creating one of the largest opportunities local businesses have seen in years, and Local Dominator helps them win across both traditional search and AI search.

A large addressable market

Local businesses, agencies, multi‑location brands, consultants, marketing teams, and franchise operators. You do not need millions of followers — you need access to businesses and agencies with an ongoing visibility problem.

Accounts can expand

A referred customer may add locations, users, seats, clients, reporting needs, or a higher product plan. As referred accounts grow, your recurring commission grows with them.

Who this program is for

You do not need a huge audience. You need the right one — people who own or advise local businesses.

Marketing agencies

Add Local Dominator to your client stack and earn recurring revenue on referred accounts.

SEO consultants

Recommend a platform your clients can continue using after your strategy and consulting work begins.

SaaS affiliates

Build recurring income instead of relying only on one‑time software bounties.

Content creators and educators

Ideal for audiences focused on SEO, AI marketing, agency growth, local business, reputation, and lead generation.

Consultants and strategic advisors

A small number of quality agency or multi‑location introductions may be worth significantly more than large volumes of low‑value referrals.

How the program works

Four steps from application to a growing partnership.

1

Apply

Every application is reviewed manually.

2

Get approved

Approved partners receive referral links, dashboard access, marketing assets, reporting, and partner onboarding.

3

Refer customers

When a referred customer becomes a paying subscriber, eligible recurring commissions begin.

4

Grow your partner status

As your active customer base, referred MRR, retention, and overall contribution grow, you can qualify for higher partner levels.

Your partner journey

Each level increases both the value and the duration of your earning opportunity.

Strategic Partner is not simply a commission tier. It represents an active, long‑term business partnership, and it is reviewed annually.

Strategic Partner status is earned and maintained

Strategic Partner status is reviewed annually. The purpose is simple: Local Dominator’s highest partner benefits should stay aligned with the partners who continue helping grow the business.

Business requirements
30+ active paying customers
$4,000+ referred monthly recurring revenue
75% portfolio retention
Continued customer growth

All four are required together. A large number of low‑value customers, or a single unusually large account, does not qualify on its own.

Professional requirements
Invitation
Professional standing
Ongoing contribution

Strategic Partner status cannot be reached by volume alone — it is extended by invitation to partners already meeting the business requirements.

Ongoing contribution

What staying active looks like

  • Joint webinars and workshops
  • Educational content and product tutorials
  • Case studies
  • Community participation
  • Product feedback
  • Agency introductions
  • Co‑marketing initiatives
  • Speaking and launch participation

These activities are not converted into a complex public points system. They are considered as part of the annual Strategic Partner review.

If status is not maintained

What you have already earned is safe

  • Commissions already earned are not clawed back
  • Future referrals revert to the Certified Partner commission structure
  • The Certified Partner structure applies until Strategic Partner status is restored

The exact treatment of existing lifetime‑qualified accounts follows the official Partner Terms.

Lifetime recurring, explained

Lifetime is earned, not given

Lifetime recurring direct commission is reserved for Strategic Partners. The Partner Program starts with fixed commission windows — 12 months as a Partner, 24 months as a Certified Partner, and lifetime direct recurring commission as a Strategic Partner while status is maintained.

This structure rewards partners who consistently create long‑term value, rather than partners who made referrals years ago and are no longer active.

Lifetime isn’t automatically given. It’s earned.

Build more than a customer portfolio

Strategic Partners can also introduce qualified new partners, and earn Partner Builder overrides from the customer revenue those partners generate.

Maximum depth: two levels

No third level. No unlimited downline. No recruiting‑only commission. Partner Builder commission only exists when real customers are paying Local Dominator — nobody earns money simply because another person joins the program.

Built around customers, not recruiting

Every commission paid by Local Dominator is connected to real subscription revenue.

The program has

  • No unlimited downlines
  • No recruiting‑only payments
  • No entry‑fee compensation
  • No third‑level overrides
  • No earnings simply for adding partners

What Partner Builder is for

Partner Builder exists only to reward Strategic Partners who introduce productive new partners — partners who go on to generate real, paying customers.

  • Tied to real customer subscription revenue
  • Capped at two levels
  • Each override runs 12 months

Quarterly performance incentives

We invest more in partners who generate measurable business growth. Rather than fixed bonus amounts, Strategic Partners may qualify for additional incentives based on growth, retention, agency expansion, launches, and strategic campaigns.

Growth

For exceptional new referred revenue growth.

Agency expansion

For referred agencies that materially expand their usage, locations, seats, or client portfolio.

Launches

For approved webinars, launches, workshops, or campaigns that generate qualified customers.

Retention excellence

For partners who build portfolios with exceptional long‑term customer retention.

Strategic campaigns

For approved co‑marketing campaigns that generate significant qualified revenue.

Incentives are reviewed based on measurable business impact, customer quality, and program economics. Amounts may vary by campaign and are not guaranteed.

Example earnings

Direct commission only. Partner Builder overrides are shown separately below, so the two are never confused.

Why partners join Local Dominator

Recurring income, not one‑off bounties

Commissions continue as long as your referred customers keep paying, within your level’s commission window. That turns a single introduction into months or years of income.

A product your clients keep using

Rankings, reviews, citations, reporting, and AI visibility are ongoing work, not a one‑time fix. Retention is what makes recurring commissions worth having.

A partnership, not an affiliate link

Certified and Strategic Partners get support, co‑marketing, early access, and a direct line to the team — benefits an affiliate link alone never provides.

The opportunity

A market that keeps getting bigger

Millions

of local businesses that need to be found on Google and in AI search.

Hundreds of thousands

of agencies managing local visibility for those businesses.

AI search

adoption is accelerating rapidly, and businesses are only starting to react.

Recurring revenue

SaaS subscriptions renew month after month, which is what makes partner income compound.

Long‑term budgets

Businesses are increasingly investing in visibility as an ongoing cost, not a one‑time project.

Applications are reviewed manually

To maintain partner quality, every application is reviewed individually. We intentionally limit the number of new partners accepted each month.
