Sponsor a business
Most small businesses aren't losing because they're worse. They're losing because they're invisible.
The average local shop can't afford what a national chain spends on marketing in an afternoon. So we built a fund to close that gap — one business at a time.
What your sponsorship buys
Every dollar goes into a pooled fund that pays for real promotion for businesses on this list. Not a plaque. Not a mention. Actual work:
- $25Professional photos of one business, theirs to keep and use anywhere.
- $100A month of local search visibility work — the thing that decides whether someone finds them or a chain.
- $250A full Google Business Profile rebuild: hours, photos, categories, review system.
- $1,000Sponsors one business's complete visibility package for a full quarter.
- CustomSponsor a specific business by name.
How businesses get chosen
Businesses are selected from the nominated list. Priority goes to the ones with the most nominations, the least existing online presence, and the least ability to pay for help themselves. Selections are published here every quarter, along with what was spent and what it produced.
Nobody buys their way onto the list, and nobody buys their way to the front of the fund.
