Locable connects businesses, nonprofits and other local sources so events, jobs and information can flow across the organizations and channels people already rely on. Like the power grid, organizations connect once and benefit from the larger network.
Local Connections™ powers your community information grid - helping information stay current and reach more places without repeating the work.
Communities already have trusted relationships, useful information, and organizations working to keep people informed. The problem is that much of it lives in disconnected websites, calendars, directories, social channels, and individual systems.
Local Connections™ connects what is already there. As more businesses and organizations connect directly, information can stay closer to the people and systems that know it best - reducing stale information, repeated work, and dependence on any one person keeping everything updated.
No one supports everyone, but everyone supports someone. Local Connections™ turns those real-world relationships into useful digital connections that strengthen the larger community network.
Businesses and organizations should not have to repeatedly submit the same events, jobs, updates, and information to every community website and organization. Connecting once reduces duplicate work across the network.
Information may enter the grid from many sources, but direct connections bring it closer to the people and systems responsible for maintaining it. That means less stale information and less manual upkeep over time.
Chambers, Main Streets, tourism organizations, media, businesses, and other participants can each curate what they use and how they present it - while benefiting from the same connected information network.
Local Connections™ works alongside Locable's broader distribution capabilities, connecting existing websites and calendars, participating community organizations, and channels like Google Business Profile, Facebook, directories, job boards, newsletters, and more.
The goal isn't another place to maintain. It's helping the information communities already create stay useful and travel farther.
A strong community information grid connects the organizations already creating, maintaining, sharing, and relying on local information. Everyone does not need to connect to everyone - each participant contributes to and benefits from the larger network.
Every community is different. Locable can work with Chambers, Main Streets, Tourism organizations, economic development groups, cities, local media, and other community anchors to connect the organizations and information sources already serving the community.
Activation can be locally led, supported by Locable, or handled through a more full-service approach that includes outreach, technical connections, configuration, website assistance, and hands-on community activation.
Cities, foundations, utilities, banks, hospitals, major employers, and other community investors can also help fund activation while local organizations remain the long-term community stewards.
