Plus Results · $189 / month
Stop posting into the void. We will do it for you, every month.
Plus is the month marketing comes off your to-do list. We create a post about your business, name you in the newsletter that lands in thousands of local inboxes, and list your events. Every single month, without you making a thing.
Any local business, any category. Retail, service, trades, professional, food, home-based. If you serve this community, we can make content about you.
About $6.30 a day. Month to month. No category requirement, no storefront required.

- Makers and crafters
- and whatever you do
If you run a legitimate business serving this community, we can make content about it. You do not need a storefront, a product to photograph, or a category we happen to like. A roofer, a bookkeeper and a bakery all get the same twelve posts, the same twelve newsletter mentions and the same twelve event listings.
If any of this is you
The problem was never the business. It is that you are the only one talking about it.
- You know you should post more. You have known that for two years.
- You hired somebody to run your social. It lasted four months.
- You post when it is slow, which is exactly the wrong time to start.
- You think you have nothing to post about, because nothing you do photographs well.
- Your last three posts were a photo of the storefront, a holiday graphic and an apology for not posting.
- You are not short on customers because the business is not good. You are short because nobody is talking about it but you.
Consistency is the whole game, and consistency is the exact thing a busy owner cannot produce. Plus is the tier where somebody else produces it.
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. Plus owns the first step completely and does it twelve times a year. We will be straight with you about the other two.
They hear about you
A post we create about your business every month, on our channels. Your name in the newsletter every month, in the inbox rather than the feed. A shared post on top of that. Somebody who has never heard of you hears about you again and again, from a source they trust.
This is what Plus is for, and it does it every month rather than once.
They look you up
They find your directory listing and whatever your own website already says. That is enough for a business with a good site and a clear offer. It is not much of a landing spot if your site is five years old.
A page built around your offer starts at Pro. Plus does not include one.
They find you again later
Six months on, somebody finally needs what you sell and searches for it. Posts are gone by then. Articles and video are what is still sitting there.
Video and SEO articles start at Pro. Plus has neither.
Being honest about that is the point. If nobody is talking about your business, Plus is the fix. If people already notice you and still do not call, that is a different problem, and Pro is the tier that solves it.
Included · Twelve a year
A post created about your business, every month
Not a reshare of something you made. We make it. We write the copy, design the graphic and publish it to our audience with our name on it. You approve it. That is the whole of your involvement.
Real posts we made for members. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, Vet 2 Logistics and Staging-By Design.
This is the biggest single jump on the membership ladder, measured by what you stop having to do. Twelve months of not staring at a blank caption box. Twelve months of something going out whether it was a good week or a terrible one.
And because it is our content on our channels, it does not read like an ad. That is exactly why it performs differently than a boosted post. You are welcome to share it on your own pages afterwards, and most members do.
The Insider, September 10. A member featured to 4,377 inboxes.
Included · Twelve a year
Your name in the newsletter locals actually open
The Live Like Locals Insider goes out every week to over four thousand subscribers who asked for it. Once a month, your business is named in it.
An email lands in an inbox. A post waits for an algorithm’s permission. That is the entire difference, and it is why this benefit is worth more than its line on a comparison table suggests.
Included · Free in-person events
A free event listing every month, and two free tables a year
Twelve free event listings. One a month on the calendar locals actually check when they are deciding what to do this weekend. Every class, sale, pop-up, tasting, live music night or open house. If you do not run events right now, that is fair. Most Plus members start running something small once they have twelve free listings a year sitting there.
Two free vendor spaces a year, any category. A table at a Live Like Locals event, no booth fee, no maker or crafter restriction, in front of a crowd that came out specifically to meet local businesses. Insurance agents, realtors and contractors take these as often as retailers do. Local Socials, community days, markets and festivals. Pick the two that fit you.
Local Social vendor table. A member set up in front of the community.
Included · Member pricing
Five percent off everything else we make
Video production, event sponsorships, grand opening packages, custom campaigns. If you ever want something beyond what the membership includes, you buy it at member pricing.
It is the smallest benefit on this page and we are not going to pretend otherwise. It matters because the door to the bigger work is open at a lower price the day you join, not after some qualifying period.
That is everything Plus adds. Your first post can go out this month.

The only question that matters
What is one new customer worth to you?
We are not going to tell you $189 a month is cheap. We are going to let you do the arithmetic yourself.
You need 12 new customers a year for Plus to pay for itself.
Plus Results costs $2,268 a year. Change the numbers to match your business.
For a restaurant or a shop, run the number on a regular rather than a one-time sale. A customer who comes back twice a month for a year is worth a great deal more than one ticket, and that is the customer this tier is built to produce.
If the number above looks reachable, it probably is.

Where Plus sits
The whole ladder, honestly
| What you get | Basic $49 | Plus $189 | Pro $379 | Max $799 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Directory listing | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Spotlight article and launch activation | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Monthly shared social post | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Social post created about your business | No | Monthly | Monthly | Monthly |
| Newsletter mention | No | Monthly | Monthly | Monthly |
| Short-form video produced for you | 1 at month 12 | No | 4 per year | 12 per year |
| SEO article | No | No | 4 per year | 12 per year |
| Your own business landing page | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Free event listings | No | 12 per year | 12 per year | 12 per year |
| Free vendor spaces | 1 per quarter, makers and crafters | 2 per year, any category | 4 per year | 4 per year |
| Preferred referral list | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Free monthly training | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Discount on our services | No | 5% | 10% | 15% |
| Loyalty Rewards add-on eligible | No | No | Yes | Yes |
If $189 is more than makes sense right now, start at Basic for $49 and move up when you want somebody making things about your business rather than sharing what you made. We would rather have you at the right level than have you cancel in four months.
Plus is the level where it stops being your job.

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, hours and what you actually want more of. One email, not a project.
You go live
Directory listing published, usually inside the first week. Your launch post, email feature and spotlight article follow right behind it.
The monthly rhythm starts
First post created about your business, first newsletter mention, first event listing if you have one. From here it happens whether you think about it or not.
You would not be the first
Join the team
These are businesses already in the Live Like Locals family. A freight company, an event designer and a home stager. Every one of them started with a story nobody outside their own circle had heard yet.
When Plus is working
Plus gets you seen. It does not give you anywhere to send people.
Here is the honest ceiling of Plus. Every month we put your business in front of our audience, and every month some of them think about you for a second and move on. There is nothing at the end of it built to catch them, and there is no video in this tier at all.
If you are already getting noticed and still not getting phone calls, that gap is the entire reason Pro exists.
Plus makes people notice you. Pro gives them somewhere to go when they do.
Do not upgrade on day one. Run Plus for three months. If people are noticing you and still not calling, that is a Pro problem, and we will tell you so.
- Your own business landing page. Built around your offer, with a contact form on it, so somebody ready to act can reach you right there. Inquiries come straight to you
- Four videos a year. We produce them, publish them on our channels and tag your business. Video is the one thing Plus has none of
- Four SEO articles a year, written around what people near you are actually searching for
- Four vendor spaces a year instead of two
- 10% off everything else we do, and eligibility for the Loyalty Rewards add-on
That is $190 more a month, for the three things Plus does not do: a place to send people, video, and articles that keep working.
Before you decide
The questions people actually ask
Do I have to write or shoot anything?
What is the difference between a shared post and a created post?
Do you only take certain kinds of businesses?
My business is not visual. What would you even post about?
Will it look like an ad?
Can I approve posts before they go out?
What is the commitment?
I do not run events. Is that benefit wasted?
I already pay somebody for social. Why this too?
What if $189 is too much right now?
