One Local Platform
MANAGE YOUR BUSINESS ONCE. KEEP IT CONNECTED EVERYWHERE LOCAL.
Your business may already have a Business Record here — the information about your business that you manage in one place. Look it up, take control of it, keep it accurate, and it stays right everywhere it appears.
Searching is free and needs no account. You only sign in when you claim or manage a business.
Say the business is yours.
A reviewer confirms it.
Keep the information right.
Send the update out once.
Every connected destination.
WHAT THE PLATFORM CONTROLS
These are live counts from the shared registries and the shared database — not illustrations.
PLATFORM CAPABILITIES
Each capability opens the experience that already implements it. Nothing here is a second copy of an existing system.
Business Record
The authoritative record for a business: identity, locations, categories, hours, media, offers, events and verification.
See the record model →Claim and verify
Find a business, claim it, verify ownership, then control the record. Claim and verification stay separate steps.
Claim a Business Record →Create a record
Add a business that has no record yet. The record is created once and becomes the source for every surface.
Create a Business Record →Manage and publish
Sign inThe owner workspace: update the record once, submit changes, and see them propagate through the network.
Open the business dashboard →Distribution
How one record reaches many destinations — eligibility, publication and placement, shown as the architecture that runs them.
See distribution →Surface explorer
Every configured surface in the shared database, with its geographic scope and the content types it may carry.
Explore surfaces →Network view
The Place × Experience network: every state and the experiences actually registered for it.
View the network →Marketplace network
The independent marketplace layer, which stays its own network and is never absorbed into the publishing surfaces.
Browse marketplaces →Integrations
How information reaches a destination: connected surfaces today, synchronized destinations as future integration, and independent marketplaces that keep their own databases.
See the delivery models →Lifecycle demonstration
One business walked through the whole lifecycle: record, claim, verification, enrichment, eligibility, distribution.
Run the demonstration →NOT A LISTING. AN AUTHORITATIVE RECORD.
Business → individual listing → individual website. The same information is retyped, drifts apart, and has no single source of truth.
Business → authoritative Business Record → platform → distribution graph → many appropriate surfaces. Update once; every eligible destination reflects it.
ONE RECORD. MULTIPLE DELIVERY MODELS.
Business information does not have to reach every destination the same way. Connected surfaces read the record directly today; synchronized destinations are future integration; independent marketplaces keep their own databases.
- Available
Connected Surfaces
Destinations using the shared Business Record architecture can dynamically display current authoritative information.
- How information moves
- The destination reads the authoritative record at the moment a page is shown.
- Where it is stored
- No separate copy. The shared record is the only stored version.
- Future Integration
Synced Destinations
Independent systems may eventually connect through authenticated APIs or connectors and maintain synchronized representations of selected Business Record fields.
- How information moves
- A future authenticated connector would send selected fields and wait for the destination to acknowledge them.
- Where it is stored
- The destination would keep its own database and its own listing.
- Independent
Independent Marketplaces
Independent marketplaces can remain part of One Local Network without surrendering their own databases, listings or marketplace functionality.
- How information moves
- No information passes between the Business Record and the marketplace.
- Where it is stored
- Entirely their own: own database, own listings, own users, own content.
No synchronized marketplace connectors are currently active.
There is nothing to synchronise, retry or reconnect. Connected surfaces read the authoritative record directly, so they are always current without a transfer step.

ONE BUSINESS.
ONE RECORD.
ONE PLATFORM.
EVERYWHERE LOCAL.
The Local Internet is being designed around a simple idea: a business should not have to recreate its identity everywhere it wants to be discovered. One authoritative Business Record can become the source for an interconnected network of local, geographic, marketplace, media and discovery experiences.
