Frequently Asked Questions
by Local Businesses and Organizations
How long does it take for local advertising to work?
Although it takes time for people to trust and choose a business, Belocal begins at the top of the funnel and provides multiple opportunities for a business brand to be conveyed to new and long term local residents in a relational, rather than transactional manner. We do this through a multi-platform strategy that increases accessibility through print, social, and web.
Who receives the Belocal Printed Area Guide?
The Belocal Magazine is mailed to new homeowners every month to help these new families get established in their new community and help them discover local favorites and preferred local businesses. We also introduce them to our social pages to continue building upon their local connections.
How can I increase local engagement on social media?
Partners share Belocal posts on their pages and groups, boosting their brand's local authority through others' opinions. They highlight useful tips from our preferred partners, avoiding self-promotion and letting the community speak for their credibility.
How can I get more connected in the community?
A business's reputation depends on caring for the community it serves. Keep seeking chances to give back, volunteer, or donate to show that you and your business care about what your customers care about, inspiring others to "pay it forward."
How can I nominate a business to become a Locally Preferred?
Refer a local business to this form to start the qualification process and receive a referral bonus if they become a Belocal Preferred Local Partner.
