Turn everyday recommendations into a resource your community can use anytime.
If you manage a local Facebook group, you've probably seen these questions hundreds of times:
“Can anyone recommend a good plumber?”
“Who's the best person to call for roofing?”
“Looking for a local house cleaner. Any recommendations?”
“Where's a good place to take the kids this weekend?”
And your members usually come through with answers.
The problem?
A week later, the post is buried in the feed.
Then someone asks the same question all over again.
WhirLocal gives those local recommendations a place to live.
Create a trusted local resource for your community.
With WhirLocal, you can create a free Trust List of local businesses, organizations and places you confidently recommend.
Add trusted:
Home service providers
Restaurants and coffee shops
Professional services
Family activities
Health and wellness businesses
Local shops
Automotive services
Contractors and trades
Nonprofits and community organizations
Entertainment and attractions
And other local favorites
Instead of relying on old Facebook posts or telling members to search the group, you can give them one simple place to find trusted local recommendations.
Share the whole list or exactly what someone needs.
Your WhirLocal Trust List is public and easy to share.
Someone asks for a plumber?
Filter your Trust List to plumbers and share the link.
Someone is new to the community and wants your favorite local businesses?
Share your entire Trust List.
You can link to it from your Facebook group, pin it as a resource, or simply drop the appropriate link into the comments whenever someone asks for a recommendation.
One link. Your local recommendations. Available anytime.
Stop answering the same questions over and over.
Facebook groups are great for conversations and community.
But a social media feed wasn't designed to be a permanent directory of the people and places your community trusts.
WhirLocal gives you a simple way to organize those recommendations outside the feed while continuing to use your Facebook group for what it does best.
The next time someone asks:
“Can anyone recommend a _________?”
You already have somewhere to send them.
Support the local businesses that support your community.
Local Facebook groups can have tremendous influence in their communities.
When you recommend a local business, you're not only helping a member find someone they can call. You're also helping a local business get discovered through genuine word of mouth.
WhirLocal makes those connections more visible, useful and shareable.
It's another way to strengthen the local community you've already worked hard to build.
Your Trust List is free.
You don't need another complicated platform to manage.
Create your free WhirLocal Neighbor profile, start adding the businesses and places you trust, and share your Trust List with your Facebook community whenever it can help.
Build Your Trust List
It's free. Start with the local businesses and places you already recommend.
