For local publishers
The platform to run your local guide—not rent one.
LocalsGuide gives independent publishers software to operate directories, content, newsletters, and paid memberships under their own brand. Less duct tape, more growth.

Everything you need to serve your market
Purpose-built workflows for hyperlocal and regional publishers who outgrow spreadsheets and patchwork tools.
Your directory, your brand
Launch a polished local directory and business profiles under your own name, domain, and visual identity—not a generic listings site.
Content & discovery
Publish articles, interviews, events, and deals in one place so readers stay on your property and advertisers see real engagement.
Newsletters that scale
Grow and segment subscribers, send campaigns, and track performance with tooling built for local publishers—not generic email blasts.
Memberships & revenue
Sell subscriptions and bundles with Stripe-backed checkout, private or public plans, and clear paths for businesses to join.
Onboarding for businesses
Invite managers with codes, collect rich profiles and media, and move listings from draft to live with a guided flow.
Publisher dashboard
One hub for your team: businesses, memberships, content, newsletters, and growth resources—without stitching five tools together.
Built for operators, not experiments
Whether you run a niche city site or a multi-town network, LocalsGuide is structured around how publishers actually sell, onboard businesses, and retain readers—so your team spends time on stories and relationships, not wrangling infrastructure.
