Built for two neighbors: the ones exploring, and the ones who own the shop.
Everything you need to find your new favorite spot.
Local-Link was built for the walk-and-wonder crowd — people who’d rather stumble on a great neighborhood spot than scroll past ten ads to find one.
Find hidden gems nearby
Browse a live map of the cafés, shops, and events tucked away in your neighborhood — the ones that never show up at the top of a search.
Claim perks in one tap
See a deal, tap to claim it, and show the code at the register. No coupon clipping, no app-within-an-app loyalty card.
Save spots, plan your visit
Bookmark places into lists — a weekend itinerary, a gift-shopping list, your go-to coffee run — and pick up right where you left off.
Built for the shop, not a boardroom.
No SaaS dashboard, no black-box algorithm to figure out. Just the tools an independent business actually needs — checkable in the five minutes you have between customers.
AI builds your profile
We scrape what’s already public — hours, menu, photos — so you start with a real profile, not a blank page to fill in.
Respond to every review
Turn a bad night into a good look. Reply directly, in your own voice, right from the app — no PR firm required.
See what’s actually working
Views, likes, saves, click-through. Real numbers, not vanity metrics buried three tabs deep in a dashboard.
Run promotions & events
Post a happy hour or a weekend market in minutes, with cover photos that actually get noticed in the feed.
Monthly ad credits included
Every paid plan comes with credits toward boosted placement — no separate ad account or agency to manage.
Five minutes, not five tabs
Check the one thing that matters on a coffee break. No widgets, no noise, no admin panel to learn.
Straightforward pricing, no algorithm to pay off.
Whether you’re just getting your listing up or ready to lean into analytics and boosted placement, there’s a plan sized for where your business is right now.

Frequently asked questions
If you have anything else you want to ask, reach out to us.
Is Local-Link free to use?
Yes, always. Browsing, saving places, and claiming perks costs nothing. Local-Link makes money from business subscriptions, not from you.
How is this different from a review app?
Reviews are one small piece. Local-Link is built around discovery and perks first — hidden gems, live promotions, events — with reviews as a supporting feature, not the whole product.
What counts as a "hidden gem"?
Independent, local, and usually not the first thing you’d find in a generic search — a bakery two blocks off the main strip, a plant shop in a converted garage, that kind of place.
How do perks and claims work?
A business posts a promotion, you tap to claim it, and you get a code or QR ticket to show at the register. No printing, no clipping, no separate loyalty app.
When is Local-Link launching?
We’re in active development now. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you the moment it opens in your area — first access goes to the list, not the App Store search results.
What neighborhoods will it start in?
We’re starting focused rather than everywhere at once, so the map is worth opening on day one. Waitlist signups help us decide where to launch first.
How much does it cost for a business?
Free to get listed. Paid plans start at $29/mo for real analytics and ad credits, up to $79/mo for the full toolkit — see the pricing above for exactly what’s included at each tier.
What’s the "anti-Yelp advantage"?
No pay-to-suppress-bad-reviews model, no algorithm you have to guess at, and a profile that starts built for you instead of blank. Straightforward tools, honest pricing.
