Hi! I have been using Online Directory in Sidney, BC for almost a year now for my Vancouver store and I can say that it is a great platform for local businesses. It is especially useful for startups because there is no huge competition like on global platforms like Google or Yelp, where millions of businesses are fighting for the attention of customers. VILocal allows you to directly connect with people in your area and make your business visible to a local audience, which is really important. During the registration process, you simply provide your basic information - name, business description, contact information, location and, of course, photos. An important point is that users can search for products or services nearby, so if someone in your area is looking for a cafe or a store, then if your business is listed correctly on the platform, it will most likely appear in the search results. This is a big plus for small businesses, since you immediately fall into a category where there is less competition than on other more popular platforms.

Great that you shared your experience! I see that VILocal can really be useful for local businesses, especially startups. By the way, I am also interested in how often you need to update the information on the platform and is it really enough to just have good reviews to attract customers? Or do you need additional steps, like promotions or special offers?
