You're a risk-taker, doer, and a vital part of our community. You understand the critical role that local businesses play as the backbone of our economy. You employ our neighbors, staunchly support other local businesses, and often give to nonprofits until it hurts so that our entire community can thrive.
Let’s face it, small businesses in our community need our support more than ever. The problem is, big box stores and corporate America are constantly trying to squeeze out the little guys.
And, while big tech platforms and corporate media companies suck billions of dollars out of our local communities, they simply don’t care about our local businesses and non-profits.
At WhirLocal, we’re not a big tech or corporate media company. We’re a new form of locally-owned and operated media company that truly cares about the success of our small businesses and non-profits in our community.
Our community-based website
includes a digital magazine, business directory, and a local alternative to review sites like Yelp. Our goal is to be a positive voice in and for our community with local journalism and business-friendly media and marketing tools to help our entire community thrive.

Neighborhood Sponsorship
Sponsoring your community is a powerful way to show your commitment while gaining valuable branding benefits. As a Neighborhood Sponsor, your business is highlighted as a community leader, giving you more visibility and credibility. You’re not just another business—you’re a trusted supporter of local initiatives. This level of recognition helps you build stronger relationships with customers and stand out as a key player in the community.
Optimized & Advanced WhirLocal Profile
Your online presence is crucial to building brand trust and attracting local customers. We take the guesswork out of it by optimizing your WhirLocal profile with proven copywriting techniques designed to engage your audience and make your business easier to discover. Not only do we fine-tune your profile on WhirLocal, but we also ensure it’s set up to perform well on search engines like Google, driving more traffic to your business.
Branded Social Posts
Building a consistent presence on social media is key to staying top-of-mind with your audience. With our Branded Social Posts, you get the benefit of having relevant, click-worthy content shared on your Facebook page and Google Business profile 3-4 times a month. Each post includes “sponsored by” branding, positioning your business as a trusted resource in your community. Plus, with a growing library of over 300 articles, you’ll always have engaging content to share without lifting a finger.
Branded Media Center
Content is the cornerstone of a successful local SEO strategy. Our Branded Media Center makes it easy for you to create, publish, and distribute multi-media blog posts, press releases, and more. Your content is automatically shared across WhirLocal, Facebook, and Google Business profiles, helping to create strong local SEO signals. With our AI-assisted blog topic generator and writer, you’ll never have to worry about writer’s block. Over time, your consistent content efforts will boost your search engine rankings and attract more local customers.
Think of your business’s online presence like a plant. Our Neighborhood Sponsor package is like giving your plant the best spot on the windowsill, where it gets more sunlight that can help it grow.
Digital Magazine: Branded Ads
Imagine your business featured in articles and stories that are directly relevant to your ideal customers. As part of our Digital Magazine, we spotlight your brand as a sponsor in relevant content, giving you maximum exposure to the audience that matters most. Your business will be seen by a growing community of engaged readers, helping to build your brand’s reputation while delivering valuable local content.
Business Directory: Featured Branded Ads
Stand out in the local business directory with a premium listing that puts your brand front and center. Unlike free listings, your business will always appear in a prominent, featured position, making it easy for customers to find and choose you. This added visibility helps establish your brand as a top choice in the community, ensuring you don’t get lost in the crowd.
