We get it

We know what it actually feels like to market a local business.

You're great at what you do. The marketing part? That's a different job no one warned you about, and it keeps changing the rules. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not doing it wrong. The system was never built for you.

The frustration

You've poured money into ads that vanish.

Boosted posts and pay-per-click eat your budget and disappear in a day. Worse, a growing share of what you pay for was never a customer at all.

TownVue has zero ads and never asks you to bid for attention.
The frustration

Google and Yelp bury you unless you pay.

The big directories reward whoever spends the most, pushing honest local businesses further down the page.

46%of all Google searches are looking for something local, so the demand is already there.
Top 3results capture almost every click, and getting there on the big directories increasingly means paying for it.

Here you're ranked by location and relevance, never by budget.
The frustration

Your social reach keeps shrinking.

Followers you worked years to earn barely see your posts anymore unless you pay to boost them again. And the ones who do see them may live nowhere near you.

1-2%of your followers see a typical post now, down from about 16% a decade ago.

Your listing works every day without an algorithm throttling it.
The frustration

There's no time left for marketing.

You run the floor, the books, and the staff. Posting, trends, and dances always fall to the bottom of the list.

73%of small business owners aren't confident their current marketing is even working.
1-10 hrsa week is all most owners can spare for marketing, on top of running everything else.

Set your listing once; it keeps working without you babysitting it.
The frustration

The big chains drown you out.

National brands with national budgets fill every search result, even when a neighbor wanted something local.

3xshoppers spend about three times more per month at big chains than at local businesses.
82%of shoppers still buy from local businesses too, and many prefer them when they can find them.

Every business gets equal footing. Fair rotation, no pay-to-win.
The frustration

Word of mouth doesn't scale.

Your regulars love you, but the newcomers and visitors who'd love you too never find their way to your door.

97%of people now go online to find a local business, not just ask a neighbor.
76%of "near me" searches lead to a visit within a day, if the searcher can find you.

You become discoverable to everyone searching your town, not just regulars.
Why we built TownVue

We're local business owners too. We got tired of paying just to be seen in our own towns, so we built the platform we wished existed: no ads, no algorithm, no pay-to-win. If you're local, you deserve to be found. We'll handle that part for you.

Why this keeps happening

The platforms you depend on profit from your invisibility.

Google rewards whoever spends the most on ads. Yelp buries you unless you pay to be featured. Social reach has been sliding for years, and every year it costs more just to stay visible in your own community.

Great local businesses go undiscovered every day. Not because they aren't good enough, but because the system was never built for them. TownVue was built to fix that.

The old way

  • Pay to rank above competitors
  • Ads push your listing down
  • An algorithm controls who sees you
  • Spend more every year or disappear

The TownVue way

  • Equal visibility for every business
  • Zero ads inside any listing
  • Ranked by location & relevance only
  • Flat $10/month, no surprises
What your $10/month gets you

Not just a listing. Your whole local presence, handled.

One boosted Facebook post costs more and is gone in 24 hours. For $10 a month, this works for you every single day: on the map, on Google, in AI search, and in your customers' inboxes.

New · AI search visibility

Be the answer when a neighbor asks ChatGPT.

More people now start with AI than with a search bar. Your TownVue listing is built so the tools they ask can find you, trust you, and recommend you by name.

Owner-authored FAQs, formatted for AI. Write them yourself, or let AI Suggest draft them from details you've already entered.
Built for the engines people actually ask. Dedicated support for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI, and Apple Intelligence crawlers.
Verified across the web. Linked social profiles confirm your identity, so AI answers cite you with confidence.

Get found everywhere

Discoverable on web, mobile, and the TownVue app the moment you go live.
  • On the map and your town's hub page, where neighbors go to discover what's nearby.
  • Across 100+ category pages, so you turn up under "brunch," "plumbers near me," and more.
  • Fair rotation and Top Picks placement: visibility you earn, never visibility you buy.
  • Every town you serve, with one listing shown on each community's hub page.

Win on Google

An SEO edge most $10 tools simply can't offer.
  • A reciprocal backlink search engines read as a local trust signal; many owners subscribe for this alone.
  • Rich Google results powered by structured data: your ratings, hours, and location, shown right in search.
  • Optimized images and snippets, so your photos and a factual summary surface accurately.

Tools that replace five subscriptions

Analytics, messaging, and marketing, built in, with nothing extra to buy.
  • A full analytics dashboard: impressions, listing views, engagement, and click-through.
  • Direct messages and a public Q&A, so no customer inquiry slips through.
  • Updates and coupons that automatically notify the customers who follow you.
  • A blog, showcase video, menu link, and custom address, all included.

TownVue markets you, too

We bring the audience. You just keep your listing current.
  • The Thursday Weekly Picks and Monthly Local Round-Up emails, both feature businesses, events, and experiences for local customers.
  • Consideration for our social media spotlights, at no extra cost.
  • Discoverable by voice: Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant when neighbors ask what's nearby.
  • Rich link previews whenever your page gets shared, anywhere.

Everything above is included for one flat $10/month: no add-ons, no upsells, no pay-to-win.

TownVue analytics dashboard showing 1,240 impressions, 340 detail views, 46 engagements, and a 3.7% click-through rate
Built-in analytics

See exactly what your listing is doing.

Impressions, detail views, engagements, and click-through, all in one dashboard, with 7, 30, and 90-day views and your top performer surfaced automatically.

Most platforms charge extra for this. On TownVue, it's included.
The payoff

This is what your listing looks like.

Photos, your story, hours, a map, coupons, owner-written FAQs, customer Q&A, reviews, and social links: everything a customer needs to choose you, all on one page.

Yours can look like this the moment you create it and make it your own.

From local owners

Built for owners who are done chasing the algorithm.

I was looking for a place to advertise my business outside of the social media mess we're living with, and came across TownVue. I really think this is the way things are going; it's like a billboard for my local town instead of the entire world.
Makayla · Columbus, Ohio
I was just complaining to a friend about how keeping up with social media trends is going to be the death of me. It's like chasing a carrot I'll never reach: new audio sounds I have to use, certain dance moves I have to learn. TownVue doesn't require any dance moves, and I'm here for it.

FAQ

Common questions.

How is TownVue different from Google or Yelp?+
TownVue doesn't sell ads, resell your data, or rank businesses by spending. Every listing gets equal visibility through fair rotation, and discovery is based on location and relevance, nothing else. No one can pay to appear above you.
Do I need to manage it constantly?+
No. Once your listing is set up, TownVue works in the background every day. You can update it whenever you want, but there's no algorithm to feed and no ads to manage.
How does this help me show up in AI search?+
Your listing includes owner-authored FAQs and structured details formatted for AI engines, plus dedicated support for crawlers like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI and Apple Intelligence. When a neighbor asks one of those tools about local businesses, yours can be found and cited accurately.
What if I want to try it before committing?+
Create a free customer account and browse TownVue the way your customers do. See what businesses are being discovered in your area and how the platform works before you decide. And every paid plan is backed by a 15-day money-back guarantee.
Is $10/month really everything, or are there add-ons?+
$10/month includes full access to every feature: visibility, SEO and AI-search tools, analytics, messaging, blog, coupons and more. The only separate items are optional event or experience listings ($10 each, discounted for subscribers), or the Unlimited Annual plan if you run a lot of events and experiences (about $180/month, billed yearly).
Is TownVue available on mobile?+
Yes. TownVue works on web and in the free mobile app, so customers can find you whether they're at home or out in your community.
Why isn't there a free business listing?+
Because ads are how “free” platforms make their money, and ads are exactly what we refuse to put on your listing. A flat $10/month from every business is what keeps TownVue free of ads and pay-to-rank, so no one can buy their way above you. Everyone pays the same and everyone gets equal footing.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes, there's no contract. Cancel within 15 days of a payment for a full refund; from day 16 to 31 that payment isn't refundable. Your listing stays live until your next billing date, then it's safely archived so you can restore it anytime.
Built for you

You didn't open your doors to become a marketer.

You're great at what you do. You're just tired of being invisible in your own town, watching your reach shrink while the bill to "boost" it climbs. TownVue handles being found, so you can get back to the work you actually love.

No trends to chase. No dances to learn.
No bidding war to sit at the top.
Just your business, in front of the neighbors looking for it.
What we stand for

Local should be easy to find.

  • Visibility shouldn't go to the highest bidder.
  • Your neighbors should find you without scrolling past a hundred ads.
  • A great local business deserves to be discovered, not buried by an algorithm.
  • Ten dollars should buy a real presence, not a 24-hour boost.
If you believe it too, your town is waiting.
Right now a neighbor is searching your category and finding a competitor. Every day your listing waits is another day those customers go somewhere else. Getting listed takes under 10 minutes.

Businesses in your area are already being found. Yours should be too.

Getting listed takes less than 10 minutes. No long-term contracts. And every day your listing is active, local customers can find you, save you, and come back to you, without you spending anything extra.
