About Us
At GetDandy, we empower local and national businesses to grow their brand, protect their reputation, and dominate their market using fully automated, proprietary AI Agents.
Our Founder
Our Founder, Alex Bellini, experienced the need for this firsthand while working in his family’s San Diego auto body shop, All American Paint & Body (AAPB). He saw how easily online reviews influence customer flow—regardless of the actual quality of work. Competing businesses were gaming the system with fake positive reviews, launching malicious attacks, and manipulating local rankings with no accountability. Worse, there was no tool that helped a business fight back—especially not one that worked for you.
After AAPB was acquired by Crash Champions, Alex launched GetDandy to build the world’s first AI-powered platform that didn’t just track online reputation—it took action.
Today, GetDandy is a comprehensive, fully automated growth platform used by both local businesses and some of the world’s largest global brands. With offices in the United States and Australia, GetDandy supports over 10,000 companies across multiple industries and continents.
Our Mission
We believe businesses—large or small—shouldn’t have to manually fight for their digital reputation or spend hours in dashboards to grow online. That’s why everything we build at GetDandy follows one principle:
Software that does the work for you.
From reputation defense to local SEO, brand compliance, and customer conversion, GetDandy is a 360-degree AI-powered platform that helps businesses get discovered, get chosen, and grow—on autopilot.
