Frequently asked questions
Is BaseLocal Business really free?
Yes. Claiming your business, submitting events and deals, and getting featured all cost nothing.
How does the signup process work?
You'll verify your email, then complete your business profile. Our team reviews each submission to make sure it's a good fit for local readers. Most businesses are approved within a few days.
What kind of businesses can join?
Local businesses with a physical presence or service area — retail, restaurants, services, fitness, health, events, and more. National or regional brands with local locations are welcome too. We don't typically accept online-only businesses.
What do you look for when reviewing a business?
We check that you're a real business with a working website and that you'd be relevant to local readers. If something's missing, we'll let you know.
How do I get featured in a newsletter?
Once your profile is approved, your submissions become eligible for inclusion. We notify you every time you're featured.
What if I want guaranteed visibility?
Sign up as a community partner to secure consistent placement. Partners can also access advertising options for additional reach across the network.
What's the difference between free features and advertising?
Free features are earned through participation. Advertising lets you pay for guaranteed, prominent placement when you want extra visibility.
