WhirLocal Salem

Are You Looking For a Way to Build Your Local Brand and Support Your Local Community?

WhirLocal is Salem’s positive, community-based media platform and a champion for all things local, supporting small businesses, nonprofits, and the community.

We’re building a grassroots movement and community where your small business or nonprofit is more than just a number; you’re our neighbor and the backbone of our economy.

Through engaging articles and local stories, a business directory, and an alternative to review sites like Yelp, we help connect your business with the community. Our innovative tools amplify your online presence, reputation, and reach, helping you grow and thrive locally.

As a small business ourselves, “local” is truly in our DNA. You’re not just a number; you have a name, and your story deserves to be told.

We like to say “We’re Local & Proud of it“™.

Support Local. Amplify Your Impact.

At WhirLocal, we keep our content free and accessible because our communities deserve a positive voice without paywall barriers. Unlike corporate media or Big Tech, we don’t have millions of dollars at our disposal; so we rely on the support of local businesses and nonprofits like yours to fuel our mission.

When you partner with WhirLocal, you’re not just gaining tools to grow your online presence, reputation, and reach—you’re helping build a stronger community. Your support pays for content creation, technology development, and the resources needed to share the stories that matter most.

Through our business memberships, CRM tools, and reach campaign sponsorships, we provide powerful solutions to help your organization thrive.

Let’s work together to create a movement where local businesses and nonprofits aren’t just surviving—they’re thriving. Because when you grow, our entire community wins.
