The challenge
Great local stories and independent shops get lost between search results and crowded streets. Small businesses want to be found without apps, complicated setup or big marketing budgets.
My approach
- A council or chamber sponsors a precinct and picks its coverage
- Local businesses are onboarded and profiled quickly
- The community gets a live interactive map for local discovery
