One of 2 ideas covered in this video

Sell a service to small local businesses, the presenter names hair salons and dog grooming shops as examples, that helps them systematically generate more 5-star Google reviews, using dedicated reputation-management software rather than doing it manually.

The presenter frames this as genuinely valuable because more 5-star reviews directly drives more customers for a small business, and cites a personal example of a friend who focused specifically on hair salons and grew their review counts over a couple of months. The suggested approach: pick one small-business niche, reach out to a batch of businesses in it, and pitch the specific outcome (more reviews, more customers) rather than the software itself.

Someone comfortable with local cold outreach (calling or visiting business owners directly) and building toward a longer-term, recurring relationship rather than a same-day payout.

The presenter is upfront that this is a longer-tail play, not something that pays out the next day, a good expectation-setting signal, but this segment of the video is fairly brief and general compared to a full walkthrough: no specific pricing, no named software product, and no revenue figures are given for the cited friend's results. This shares real similarity with other local-business consulting entries already in this database; the specific angle here is Google-review generation.
