Own a local business?
Join us.

Every month, our team meets a lot of local homeowners, and we want to send them your way. It's completely free. We're not a lead service, and we'll never ask you for money.

Our Local Mission is a group of hard-working local businesses that support each other. The people who find you through it are exactly the customers you want: good neighbors who go out of their way to support local small businesses. All we ask is that you keep a few of our cards on your counter.

HOW IT WORKS

Treat others how you want to be treated.

  1. 01

    We all meet a lot of people.

    Every local business talks with customers and neighbors every day, and people are always asking who's good.

  2. 02

    So we send them to each other.

    When someone needs a plumber, a coffee spot or a tutor, we point them to a member we trust.

  3. 03

    Nobody pays to be here.

    There are no ads and no paid spots, ever. Every business is here because of how it treats its employees, its customers and its community.

  4. 04

    Everyone gets a turn.

    Every member gets a profile on the site, a spot in the daily highlights, and cards for the counter.

  5. 05

    We look out for each other.

    Keep a few cards out, recommend a fellow member when it fits, and they'll do the same for you.

The standard

"Our Local Mission members hold the highest standards for their business, their employees, and their support of the surrounding community."

Completely free. Always. We're not a lead service, and we'll never ask you for money. This is about hard-working local businesses supporting each other.

Just a few cards on your counter. That's all we ask in return, so your neighbors can discover and support the other local businesses in the group.

A collective, not an open directory. We pick businesses we respect and pitch them in person. An interest draft helps that conversation, but it does not guarantee an invitation.

Your consent first. Nothing about your business appears anywhere until you have given written consent to be featured. Later, non-competing trades and new areas join as the circle grows.

Think you hold the standard?
