Our story

AI for the rest of us.

We built Looply because we've seen firsthand how hard marketing is for small businesses. We get the anxiety about where to start and the worry that every dollar spent might not pay off. As a team, we bring decades of experience in the ups and downs of running a small business, the art and science of marketing, and the cutting edge of artificial intelligence. We realized that combination could help the millions of small businesses across the US not just survive, but succeed.

Our mission is simple: our success isn't measured by our growth, but by how much we helped you grow yours.

What we believe in

Simplicity

Looply is easy to use — from uploading your data to building your marketing program. No complex reports or dashboard design. Just a fast, simple path to actionable results.

Small Business First

Your IT staff is… you. Your marketing person just texted to say she took a full-time job somewhere else. Not enough time, not enough budget for an agency. We built Looply for exactly that person.

Your Customers, Your Data

Your customer data is already in your POS system or QuickBooks. Looply turns that data into wisdom — who your customers are, what they buy, and whether your marketing is actually working.

Meet the founder

Gerry has spent over two decades in the trenches with small businesses — founding startups, leading corporate teams across sales, marketing, operations, and finance, and personally advising more than 100 small companies in Maine and beyond. For the past 14 years, his focus has been singular: helping small businesses figure out how to grow.

Working with independent business owners, Gerry kept seeing the same problem. These owners had loyal customers, great services, and real community presence — but no way to understand who was buying what, when, or why. The marketing tools that exist were built for big chains with big budgets. LooplyAI is his answer: AI-powered intelligence designed specifically for independent small businesses, so they can compete on data — not just gut instinct.

Small businesses are the backbone of every neighborhood and we help them to bring their customers back.
