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.

Step 1
Claim

Say the business is yours.

Step 2
Verify

A reviewer confirms it.

Step 3
Manage

Keep the information right.

Step 4
Publish

Send the update out once.

Step 5
See where it goes

Every connected destination.

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 in

The 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.

Lifecycle demonstration

One business walked through the whole lifecycle: record, claim, verification, enrichment, eligibility, distribution.

NOT A LISTING. AN AUTHORITATIVE RECORD.

Traditional model

Business → individual listing → individual website. The same information is retyped, drifts apart, and has no single source of truth.

Local Internet model

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.

HOW THE ARCHITECTURE WORKS

Step 1
BUSINESS

One business, as it exists in the real world.

Step 2
RECORD

One authoritative Business Record.

Step 3
PLATFORM

Manage, verify, publish, distribute, measure.

Step 4
GRID

Geography, categories, eligibility, destinations.

Step 5
NETWORK

The deployed Local Internet.

Step 6
SURFACES

Every destination the record qualifies for.

WHERE THIS SITS

Each property has one defined role. They do not compete with one another.

Named in the architecture, not yet served by this platform

  • LocalInternetHoldings.comThe company that owns and develops the ecosystem.
  • TheLocalInternet.comThe vision property for the larger idea.
  • OneLocalNetwork.comThe deployed network property.
  • 250Marketplaces.comThe marketplace deployment strategy.
  • TheStrategicDomains.comThe namespace and domain portfolio.

WHERE ONE BUSINESS RECORD CAN GO

  1. One Business Record
  2. One Local Platform
  3. One Local Grid
  4. One Local Network
  5. Public surfaces

Eligible records and content can appear across appropriate Local Internet surfaces according to geography, content type, publication and destination rules. The domains below are a small representative sample of the network, shown as evidence that the destinations are real — not a list of places any particular record is published.

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.
