Want to get your business Loved and recommended by more locals? We can help you with that.

Localist is a personalised recommendation engine that connects local businesses with engaged local consumers.

Locals trust our mobile app and website to give them recommendations for the best of their city, and use us to recommend the businesses they Love to other locals. This means that your business is connected to the right customers at the right time.

We give businesses the digital tools they need to connect, communicate and transact with more local customers on a daily basis, and we help you build:

  • Digital presence
  • Reputation
  • Sales and traffic
  • Consumer relationships

Recommendations drive local consumer choice - 70% of customers check online before deciding which local business to use, and 50% of consumers trust the opinions of strangers as much as personal recommendations.

We provide FREE insights and tips for getting the most out of your Localist listing, plus you can view your recent Loves, track your success and edit your listing.
