The Local Platform

THE PLATFORM BEHIND ONE LOCAL INTERNET.

One shared platform for authoritative records, geographic discovery, publication, claims, verification, promotion and local experiences across a growing network of connected surfaces.

One Local Internet is the ecosystem. The Local Platform is the shared layer inside it. Nothing here is a separate database: the same records, geography, categories, publication rules and governance run every surface on the network.

ONE RECORD. ONE SYSTEM. MANY SURFACES.

Step 1
Business Record

One authoritative record.

Step 2
The Local Platform

Shared capabilities that act on it.

Step 3
The Local Grid

The connected network it is deployed across.

Step 4
Surfaces

Geographic, vertical and experience destinations.

Step 5
Consumer discovery

Where a person finds the business.

The platform is what the system can do. The grid is where it is deployed. A business record is created and governed once on the platform, then appears on the grid’s destinations wherever it legitimately belongs.

WHAT THE PLATFORM PROVIDES

Each area below is already running. Every link opens the production experience that implements it.

Records

One authoritative Business Record per business — identity, locations, categories, hours, media — used by every surface instead of being copied to each one.

See the record model

Geography

One shared country, state, city and local geography. Every surface reads it; none of them keeps its own.

See the geography

Publication

Governed placement of records and content onto the destinations they legitimately belong on, each placement carrying a recorded basis.

See how publication works

Discovery

Search, categories, geography and consumer browsing across everything published — one index, many entry points.

Search the network

Ownership

The existing claim workflow: an owner claims a record, and only then can manage it.

Claim a Business Record

Verification

Independent review of claims and records. Verification is a separate step from claiming, and is never granted automatically.

See verification

Promotion

Governed promotion products, Promotion Credits, placements and measurement — every promotion still passes independent review.

See promotions

Local experiences

Businesses, offers, events, articles and other experiences exposed through the surfaces that carry them.

See published offers

GEOGRAPHIC DISCOVERY

National, state and city discovery are platform-powered surfaces over the same shared records and geography — not independent directories.

Individual state and local addresses such as Minnesotaiz.com and Wisconsiniz.com participate as destinations in the same network, reading the same records.
