Questions members ask
Who sees my contact information?
Nobody, unless you share it. When you request a quote, the business sees your name and your messages. If you want them to have your phone number, you can send it in the conversation.
Can businesses message me out of nowhere?
No. A business can only message you in a conversation you start with a quote request, and you can block or report anyone at any time.
Does paying put a business at the top?
No. The results you see are ordered by reputation: ratings, reviews and how quickly businesses reply. Premium businesses can appear in Featured spots, and those are always clearly labeled.
How Local keeps things fair
How do I know reviews are real?
Every review comes from a customer whose hire was confirmed by both them and the business, so you know who actually did business with them. Business owners can't review themselves, and each person can review a business only once.
Can a business delete my honest review?
No. A business can reply to your review, but it can't remove it. If a business believes a review is unfair, they can report it and our team investigates before anything is removed.
What if a business seems like a scam?
Report the profile or the conversation. Our team reviews every report and can hide a profile or close a conversation. You can also block the business.
Are links on business profiles safe?
Website links are checked against Google's list of known unsafe sites, and before you leave Local we show you exactly where a link goes.
Can a business fake its badges or awards?
No. Badges like Top Rated come from real ratings and reviews. The Verified badge is approved by our team, and Best of Local winners are picked using only verified-customer reviews and approved by our team.

Questions business owners ask
What if I don't have a website yet?
Your Local profile shows your services, photos, hours and reviews, and links to your website or Facebook page when you have one. Need a website? We partner with a website builder who can help you get one.
What do I need to sign up now?
Just your business name and email. On launch day we'll send you a link to finish your profile.
Can I cancel?
Yes, anytime. Your profile stays up through the end of the month you paid for.
I run my business from home. Is my address public?
No. You can hide your street address and show just your city and the area you serve.
Does paying more get me better reviews or rankings?
No. Rankings are earned the same way by every business. Your star rating matters most, and it's balanced so a few early reviews can't swing it too far. After that, Local looks at the number of reviews you have, recent reviews, your replies to quote requests and the number of customers who hire you through Local. New businesses start in the middle, so you're not buried on day one.
What are the benefits of Premium?
Premium ($39.99 a month) helps more customers see you: clearly labeled Featured spots above search results, a place in the Featured row on the Home screen, a boost for your deals and events in Explore, up to 20 photos instead of 7, more detailed insights and priority support.
How Local keeps things fair
Can a business review itself or pile on fake reviews?
No. Every review comes from a customer whose hire both sides confirmed. Owners can't review their own business, and each customer gets one review, which they can update after a new hire. Hiring you again never adds a second review.
What if a review seems unfair?
Report it and our team will investigate. If the review breaks our rules, we remove it. You can also reply publicly, so customers hear your side.
Can a business fake "hired" jobs to get reviews?
No. A hire only counts when both the customer and the business confirm it, and only the customer's own account can leave the review.
What happens when a customer marks me as hired?
You get a notification to confirm it. Once you confirm, they can leave a review. Your profile shows how often you confirm the hires customers mark, so confirming builds trust.
Can someone flood me with fake quote requests?
Every account confirms its email first, and there are limits on how many requests one person can send. You can also block and report anyone from the conversation.
How do you keep out fake businesses and scam links?
Every business verifies its phone number with a code before going live. Website links are checked against Google's list of known unsafe sites, and customers see exactly where a link goes before they leave Local.
Can anyone cheat to win the Best of Local awards?
No. Winners are picked each quarter using only reviews from confirmed hires. A business needs several of them to qualify, and our team approves every winner before it shows.
