Local businesses rely on word-of-mouth marketing. If you know some great businesses, consider inviting them to join our site so you can recommend them! Writing positive reviews can really help local businesses thrive (or stay in business during these tough times)!
The businesses that you invite will get our professional plan ($39 value) for free, and you will become a trusted reviewer on our site!
Get started
Invite your favorite local businesses to join our site, like your optometrist, caterer, florist, ... etc.
Your reviews will become more trusted with each invited business that accepts. This means that your reviews will be displayed more prominently!
With your invitation, the businesses will get our Professional Plan ($39 value) for free for one month, which will allow them to try all of our features. After one month, they continue on our Free Plan. No credit cards required.
