Why List Your Business on Local Gem Guide?

Support Local

Built to make finding local businesses easy.

While large companies are welcome and encouraged to list as well, we are built with local businesses top of mind. This means our features are designed around what we believe makes local users more likely to engage.

Connect Directly

We make it easy to find contact information to get in touch with local businesses.

Businesses can list contact information to make it easy for users to get in touch. Some sites gatekeep this information or make your potential customers fill out a form to connect. We let you choose from our available options to help customers easily get in touch when they want to without being scared off by pesky forms.

No Star Rating Games

We live in a world where 4-stars is a failing grade, so why bother? We’re all about supporting each other. Not dragging each other down. No stars because you’re all stars.

Okay okay….we don’t think we need to live in a “participation trophy” world for us to all do well, but the world of stars is broken. If you’ve ever gasped at a friend who gave a rideshare driver a 3-star rating, you understand. Star ratings rule who stands out on most directories. We promote community by scrapping the star scale.

Your business shouldn’t suffer because your star team member had an off day, and the local grump happened to be their customer. While reviews can be helpful (we read plenty of them ourselves), the star scale leads businesses to focus on vanity metrics to prove they’re worthy of local attention. Businesses should be able to be found without committing to hours of extra work to maintain a perfect 5-star rating.

Community Driven

We don’t do stars, but we do crowdsourcing. Listings are submitted by businesses and the community.

We source information from users to ensure profiles are up-to-date. You can add your local listing(s) to be sure users can find you. Come on back to update it as needed, but don’t worry — with no stars and no reviews, this isn’t a fulltime commitment.

Free Business Listings

Listings are free. While we have some monetized offerings, the basic listing is free for businesses with no credit card needed.

Unlike other directories and websites which claim to have free options only to discover it’s highly limited or payment is needed for customers to contact you, our basic listing is free. We may offer other add-on services to monetize, but the goal is for local businesses to have easier access to customers. We want to see our community win, so our paid options are designed to be low-cost-to-entry and non-essential to a complete profile.

Decisions Made Easy

Find the business that matches you exactly, or use the easy choice option to find new places to fall in love with.

Our ease and low-cost-to-entry make the choice for businesses easy, but we make it worthwhile for local users to browse listings by making decisions easy. We offer easily sorted lists and directories to ensure all brands can be found. We also produce curated content to boost inbound digital visits by highlighting local listings. Finally, we know choice can be difficult — some categories more than others. When it’s their night to choose dinner, a simple click of a button will randomly point them in the right direction.
