About WhirLocal Media Group

Helping Local Businesses Stand Out and Build Trust in Their Community

Local businesses deserve to be seen, valued, and trusted by the people they serve. That belief is at the heart of WhirLocal.

We’re building local trust networks that help businesses, nonprofits, and neighbors turn real-world relationships into visible, shareable trust online.

For years, local businesses have built their reputations through relationships, referrals, great service, and word of mouth. The problem is, much of that trust has been invisible online. WhirLocal helps make it visible.

Our platform helps answer two simple questions: Who do you trust? And who trusts you? Businesses can build and share their Trust Network, neighbors can create personal Trust Lists, and communities can discover places recommended by people and organizations they know.

For local businesses, WhirLocal helps you stay visible, build trust, and be remembered, so you can get be more visible, get referred and chosen more often, all while supporting others in the same way.

“We’re Local & Proud of it”™ is more than a tagline. It reflects how deeply we believe in the impact of local businesses and the communities they support.

We believe local marketing should be more human, more connected, and built around trust, not algorithms.

I recently started using WhirLocal in Salem, OR after picking up their Black Friday package, and I’m really glad I did. I began using their AI agents last week, and they’ve already made a big difference. Working with Tim and Pam has been a great experience—they’ve made everything easy to get started. What stood out most is how simple the process is and how quickly I started seeing results. It’s saving me a ton of time and helping me stay consistent with posting, which has always been a challenge. Instead of putting it off, I’m actually getting content done. If you’ve been struggling to keep up with content, this is definitely worth checking out

Hands down the best class I have taken on AI systems organization. Tim and Pam were engaging and made the class understandable. They leave you wanting more information but with all the tools to take flight on your own AI journey. Thanks for the tools!

Tim and Pam led an AI for Business workshop at our local Chamber of Commerce. It was a hands-on experience, well-presented and organized. They explained many use cases for generative AI in small businesses and had us try out the actual tools. It was very accessible and a safe introduction into AI tools.
