Premium, Hyper-LOCAL Search Directories
We Support LOCAL!
When we say, “Support LOCAL”, we really mean it!
When a resident or consumer searches for a product or service within a given city on Our Town’s BEST, they are ONLY presented with businesses that are owned and operated in THAT city.
With the assistance of AI, 9th Street Media developed Our Town’s BEST with the goal of making it the “go to” resource for local residents. To ensure that it gets adopted in each city, we promote it via a unique and perpetual co-op with the busiest and most popular local restaurants.
Plus, we launch it with 50,000 targeted, hyper-local unskippable, 15 seconds long Connected TV ads.
Our Town's BEST vs. The Others
Review the flip boxes to learn 18 Ways Our Town’s BEST is different…
JUST SEARCH!
Our only focus is driving traffic to your listing on OTB so you will renew year after year.
YOUR LISTING= NOT THE GOAL
Others only create directories to supplement whatever else it is they are selling- Paid Ads, Paid Listing Placements, SEO, Digital Marketing, Print Ads, Etc.
CATEGORY EXCLUSIVITY
We only feature ONE "by invite only" verified & vetted local business per subcategory.
BLOATED W/ COMPETITION
Others allow / encourage unlimited listings of every business type.
NO GEO API
Each city's directory operates independently with no overlap from surrounding areas.
ALLOWS GEO OVERLAPPING
On others, you not only contend with local competition, but also with providers from other cities nearby or that list your town as part of their service area.
NO PAID PLACMENT
All participating businesses are given the same priority in the search results.
MUST PAY TO PLAY
Others monetize by charging your competitors for top spots (above you) in search results.
NO ADVERTISEMENTS
When our users search, they only get relevant results with NO interference from paid ads.
DISTRACTIONS ABOUND
Others put ads on search results and on YOUR landing page to drive traffic away from your business to your competition or to other non related sellers.
NO PREMIUM LISTINGS
Every business gets all features and functions activated on their listing / landing page.
PREMIUM = AN UPSELL
Others give free basic listings but charge for access to the better features and functions.
PROPER DEVELOPMENT
Using AI, we developed OTB to return all relevant results to a given search query.
CODING DEFICIENCIES
Most local directories are "sizzle" to gain a foot in the door for other services and incorporate cookie cutter code that often fails to understand what the user is searching for.
WE DO 100% OF THE WORK
Our team researches your business and coordinates with you to setup your listing page.
THEIRS= DO IT YOURSELF
Almost without exception, others require you to setup your listings details and/or make sure they are correct. Plus, you have to upload your logo and featured images.
100% COMPLETE LISTINGS
Our format is flexible allowing us to add content and buttons to maximize user interactions.
RIGID TEMPLATED LAYOUTS
Others limit the number of words in descriptions, the size and aspect ration of logos, the number of and/or allowed social media links, the number of and/or functionality of links and buttons, etc.
CUSTOM FEATURED IMAGE
Our graphics team works with you to create a custom image that's showcased on your listing.
NO CUSTOM AD / IMAGES
Others usually allow you to upload pictures but you have to create them or pick them and you have to make sure they look good in the sizes and aspect ratios allotted.
OPTIMIZED SEO...FOR YOU
Our listingss begin showing up near the top on Google search results- similar to Yelp!.
THEIRS= SELF PROMOTION
Other local directories are published as a way to promote the developer's brand. They aren't focused on YOUR visibility.
COUNT YOUR VISITORS
We track how many unique visitors get our app AND how many view YOUR listing.
NO PROOF OF TRAFFIC
Most local directories only count the number of visits to their home page, not the # of visitors to each individual listing.
TRACKABLE QR CODES
You get a custom QR code on your landing page with a count of scans from unique visitors.
NO INDIVIDUAL QR CODES
Most local directories only offer a QR for their home page, not individual listings and can only offer a count of visitors to their domain, not YOUR page.
EZ APP ENCOURAGES USE
NO Downloads, NO Play or App Stores, NO Passwords, and NO Annoying Registrations!
NO APP OR ANNOYING APP
Most local directories are just websites so users have to remember they exist, open their browser and go to their website or, IF they know how, bookmark the link onto their phone.
APP ICON ON PHONES
Visitors are prompted to "EZ Add" OTB to their devices w/ a pop up + buttons on every page.
NO APP OR ANNOYING APP
Most local directories are just websites so users don't get that critical icon on the home screen of their phone. OTB has high local adoption rates because the reminder is on their phone and OTB is EZ to use.
APP W/IN AN APP= INCLUDED!
Each listing acts like its' own mobile app including EZ Share & My Biz Reviews funcitonalities.
NOT AN APP LIKE EXPERIENCE
Others have landing pages that function more like web pages than "app pages". If you can even share, it's their app NOT a direct link to YOUR listing. NOBODY else has our exclusive My Biz Reviews Features!
UNIQUE RESTAURANT CO-OP
We heavily incentivize busy local restaurants to promote OTB on signs at every entrance.
NO HIGH VISIBILITY OFFLINE PROMOTION= NO TRAFFIC
Traffic to other local directories is usually minimal and only happens as a result of the publisher showcasing their site to businesses as part of their sales process.

NO HIGH VISIBILITY OFFLINE PROMOTION= NO TRAFFIC
