Digital Storefronts Alternative: Test Rank and Rent Before Spending $5,000

Digital Storefronts is Cory Long’s rank and rent program. You build local websites or Google Business Profiles (“storefronts”), rank them and rent the leads to local businesses (“tenants”) for a monthly fee. Ippei Kanehara’s June 2026 review puts the price at about $5,000, with no refund after the initial payment, a private Facebook group of roughly 500 members, and seven modules.

Disclosure: I sell the $37 kit below, so I’m biased. I haven’t bought Digital Storefronts. The facts come from my Digital Storefronts review, which cites every source. Prices change, so confirm on the seller’s site.

Digital Storefronts vs the Starter Kit

When Digital Storefronts is the better choice

If you want a structured path from someone Ippei credits with big rank and rent results, you can afford $5,000 without a refund, and you’re comfortable selling monthly fees to business owners, it’s a complete program with a community. If you join, Ippei’s review suggests being careful with the add-on services until your first site pays.

When the $37 alternative fits better

• You can’t risk $5,000 on a model you haven’t tried. $37 tells you whether you enjoy building and ranking sites.
• You don’t want to sell. The kit has no closing module, because there’s no pitch: the contractor gets a real lead for free and pays 10% if it closes.
• You want to stay on websites. The kit doesn’t use lead-gen map listings, which Google can suspend.

What you give up with the $37 kit

No coaching, no community and nobody checking your work. Ranking takes months (my first leads came 1 to 3 months after launch), one of my three sites never ranked, and many leads don’t close. Budget about $60 to $170 beyond the kit for hosting, a domain and tools. If you later want coaching, you’ll know exactly what to ask for. Compare every option in the rank and rent course list.
