Be the local recommendation, not another ad

One business per region at a time — a genuine "we like them" placement, not a banner competing with ten other banners. Membership options from a single week to a full year.

5 regions covered 121 events listed for the next 7 days across 5 towns 7 weekly email issues sent since Sep 17, 2026 running since Aug 26, 2026

Reader numbers are published once the list passes 50 subscribers.

Why a recommendation beats an ad

Nextdoor found that 79% of neighbors acted on a local recommendation they saw there, 81% of them within days — local recommendations consistently out-rank conventional business directories and ads for trust. That's the model here: your placement reads as "here's a local business worth knowing," not a banner. One business holds a region's slot at a time — whether for a week or a year — so readers see exactly one recommendation, never a wall of ads.

Placements & pricing

Annual Partner is the flagship option — a permanent listing, guide placement, and SEO backlink that work for you year-round instead of needing to be renewed every week. Prefer to start smaller? Weekly Spot and Event Promo get you the same recommendation on a shorter commitment.

Founding offer: your first Event Promo is free (5 of 5 spots left, through Dec 31). We list it, label it "Presented by [you]", and send you where it appeared. Reply to the email below to claim one.

Event Promo

$20 one-time
Value grows with: Newsletter reach

Your event goes first on your town's page, and first in the weekend list and weekly email when it falls on a weekend, labelled "Presented by [you]" and marked as sponsored in the event data AI assistants read. Runs until the event day. We guarantee the placement, not any assistant's mention.
