Basic Results · $49 / month
Nobody knows you are here yet. Let us fix that first.
For $49 a month, a local media company this community already follows introduces your business to it. We write your story, publish your listing, put your name on our referral list, and keep you in rotation every month. Not an ad. An introduction.
Any local business, any category. Retail, service, trades, professional, food, home-based. If you serve this community, you belong in this directory.
About $1.60 a day. Month to month. No category requirement, no storefront required.

Who gets listed
Every kind of local business. Not a category club.
- Roofers

- Bakeries
- Law firms
- Landscapers
- Med spas
- Photographers
- Food trucks
- Realtors
- HVAC and plumbing
- Salons and barbers
- Accountants
- Boutiques

- Pet services
- Restaurants
- Makers and crafters
- and whatever you do
If you run a legitimate business serving this community, you can be listed. You do not need a storefront, a product to sell at a table, or a category we happen to like. Half the businesses who need this most are the ones people never see: the home-based, the mobile, the one-person shop that works entirely by word of mouth.
If any of this is you
You are not bad at marketing. You are just unknown.
- You opened. You told your friends. Then it went quiet.
- You have been posting to an audience of people who already know you.
- You boosted a post once, spent forty dollars, and still are not sure what happened.
- Somebody drove past your sign today and has no idea what you do.
- Every job you get comes from word of mouth, and one quiet month is all it takes.
- You do not need a campaign. You need people to find out you exist.
Every one of those is the same problem wearing a different shirt. Your business is fine. The introduction never happened. Basic Results is the introduction.
We are not going to promise we have the answer for your business. Nobody can honestly promise you that. What we can promise is that you will stop doing it by yourself.
This is the same thing we tell every member, at every level, before they pay us a dollar.
What you are actually buying
Every customer takes the same three steps to get to you
They hear about you. They look you up. They decide. Basic is step one, done properly and done by somebody with an audience. We will be straight with you about the other two.
They hear about you
We announce you to our audience, write a real feature about your business, and bring your name back around every month. A stranger turns into somebody who has heard of you, from a source they already trust.
This is what Basic does, and it is the step most businesses never get past.
They look you up
They find your directory listing on our site, with your photos, your hours, your category and a link straight to you. It sits on the city page where your customers actually are.
Basic covers this with the listing. A page built around your offer starts at Pro.
They find you again later
Something we published about you is still sitting there months from now when they finally need what you sell. Your spotlight article does this from day one.
Video and SEO articles start at Pro.
Plenty of businesses do not need all three yet. If nobody knows you exist, more marketing is not the answer. Being introduced is.
Included · Published in week one
A real written feature about your business, not a blurb
We research what you do and write a proper article about it. Your story, why you started, what makes you different, who you are for. It is published on our site under your name, and it stays up.
Member Spotlight
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Savannah Metro Brings On-Time, Honest Plumbing to Pooler
By Live Like Locals · August 18, 2026
Welcome to Live Like Locals, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Savannah Metro. A plumbing problem never picks a good time. It shows up on a holiday weekend, the night before company arrives, or an hour before you leave for work.
A real member spotlight, published on livelikelocals.tv and still live today.
Members use it in ways we did not expect. Put it on your About page. Send it to a customer who is deciding between you and somebody else. Print it and hang it by the register. It is the first thing most businesses have ever had written about them by somebody other than themselves.
Local Social, Savannah. A member being introduced to the room.
Included · Day one
A launch post and an email announcement to the whole community
The day you join, we tell our audience you are here. A post across our channels and a feature in the Insider email that goes out to over four thousand locals who asked to receive it.
The value is not the reach. It is the endorsement. This is a company locals have followed since 2018 saying you are worth knowing. That is a different thing from an ad, and everybody who sees it knows the difference.
Included · Live all year
A published directory listing on the page your customers are already on
A real profile with your photos, hours, category and a link straight to your site. It lives on the city or neighborhood page where your customers actually look, whether that is Savannah, Port Wentworth, Pooler, Richmond Hill, Statesboro, Hinesville or Effingham County.

The next listing on the page
Savannah, Georgia
A real member listing on livelikelocals.tv, on the Pooler page.
Every category is listed the same way. A roofer, a law firm and a bakery all get the same profile on the same page. If you work out of a truck or a spare bedroom, you are listed by the area you serve rather than an address you do not want published.
Here is the quiet part worth saying out loud: it is a page on a site Google already trusts, pointing at yours.
Local Social at Savannah Kia. Guests meeting the businesses we recommend.
Included · The one people skim past
The preferred referral list
When somebody messages us asking who we would recommend for what you do, you are the name we give them. A person recommending a person. No algorithm involved, no ad spend, no bidding against anyone.
This is the benefit most likely to produce your first sale from the membership, and the one most likely to get skimmed past on a page like this. It is also what a chamber membership is supposed to do and usually does not.
Included · Free in-person events
A monthly share, free training, and a table at our events
A monthly shared social post. You do not disappear after week one. Every month your business comes back around in our rotation, in front of the same community, without you making anything. We will be honest that this is a shared post rather than one created about you. A created post starts at Plus.
Free monthly training. A live session every month on the thing you are actually stuck on: what to post, how to shoot on a phone, how to talk about your business without sounding like an ad. Free for as long as you are a member. Attend a few and the membership has paid for itself before anything else happens.
One free vendor space a quarter, for makers and crafters. A table at a Live Like Locals event, four times a year, no booth fee. Real foot traffic and a crowd that came out specifically to meet local businesses. This is the only thing on this page with a category limit, and it is there because those are the categories our event crowds come out to shop. Everything else in Basic works the same for a plumber as it does for a potter, and any member can still buy into any event at the standard vendor rate.
Local Social vendor table. A member set up in front of the community.
That is everything Basic includes. Your listing could be live this week.
Sign up now$49 a month, month to month. No long-term contract, ever.

Over thirty things, for the price of one dinner out a month.
Start now and your listing is usually live this week.
Sign up nowWe reach out within one to three business days to get you set up.
The longer you stay
Basic gets bigger at month three, six and twelve.
Most memberships hand you everything in week one and nothing after. This one is built the other way around. The longer you stay, the more content we make.
Your second piece of content
A follow-up post about what has changed since we introduced you. A new product, new hours, a busy season, a win worth telling people about. We write it, publish it and share it, the same as the first one.
A third piece, your pick
Either another written article about where the business is now, or a 30-second clip we shoot at one of our events you are already attending. You choose which one is more useful to you.
Your anniversary, and a video
A feature in the Insider marking your first year with us, plus a short-form video produced for your business. That is a higher-tier deliverable, at the Basic price, for nothing but staying.
None of this costs extra and none of it is available in month one. It is the part of the membership you earn by staying.
The only question that matters
What is one new customer worth to you?
We are not going to tell you $49 a month is nothing. We are going to show you what it actually is.
A dollar sixty a day is less than the coffee you bought on the way to open up. If the article, the launch, the listing, the monthly posts and the referral list produce one customer all year who spends more than $588, the membership was free and everything after it is profit. For most businesses on this tier, that is one customer. Not one a month. One.
If one customer a year sounds reachable, it is.
Sign up nowMonth to month. Cancel any time. We would rather earn next month than lock you into last year.

The month 3, 6 and 12 unlocks are a Basic thing. From Plus up you are already getting content made about your business every month, so there is nothing to wait for. Basic is the bottom rung on purpose. It is the cheapest honest way to find out whether being in front of this community does anything for you. If it does, Plus is $189.
Start at the bottom. There is no shame in it and no contract holding you there.

How the first thirty days go
You sign up
Month to month. Takes about two minutes. Nothing is required from you at this point except an email address.
We email you
Within one to three business days you get an email from us with exactly what we need: your logo, photos, story and hours. One email, not a project. If you do not have good photos, say so in your reply and we will work with what you have.
You go live
Directory listing published, usually inside the first week. Your launch post and email feature follow right behind it.
Your article runs
The spotlight publishes, you go onto the referral list, and the monthly share cycle begins. From here it happens whether you think about it or not.
You would not be the first
Join the team
These are businesses already on the list. Every one of them started exactly where you are, with a $49 membership and nobody outside their own circle knowing they existed.
When Basic stops being enough
The month you will want Plus
It usually hits around month four. People have started saying your name. You have had a couple of “I have seen you guys somewhere” conversations. And you think: good, so how do I turn that into somebody actually walking in?
That is the exact edge of Basic. We announce you once, we list you, and we bring your name back around each month in a shared post. We do not create anything about your business, and we do not name you in the newsletter. You are in the room. You are not on the stage.
Basic gets you known. Plus keeps making the case for you.
Do not upgrade on day one. Run Basic for three months. If people are hearing your name and still nothing is happening, that is a Plus problem, and we will tell you so.
- A post made about you every month. We write it, design it, publish it. Twelve a year you did not have to think about
- Your name in the newsletter every month, straight into thousands of local inboxes
- A free event listing every month, twelve a year on the calendar locals check
- Two free vendor spaces a year, no maker or crafter limit
- 5% off everything else we do
That is $140 more a month. One of those twelve posts bringing you a single customer worth $150 pays for the upgrade, and you still have eleven left.
Before you decide
The questions people actually ask
Is this just a directory listing?
Do you only take certain kinds of businesses?
What happens after the first month?
What is the commitment?
I do not have a logo or good photos. Is that a problem?
What do I actually have to do?
How fast does it go live?
Will you promise me results?
Why is there no vendor space unless I am a maker?
