What Is Go Local San Diego?

Go Local San Diego is a website dedicated to introducing local San Diegans to the amazing businesses around them when they are searching for specific products or services. This community website was designed to provide convenience to consumers who value what local businesses bring to the San Diego market. Those businesses understand getting someone’s loyalty by providing true value is priority number one.
 
Here at Go Local San Diego it is essential that we provide business owners a platform where they can be seen without the distraction of competitors. We have noticed that there are many marketing companies who will take a business owner’s marketing budget and, in the blink of an eye, post that business right next to their competition. That is absolutely unacceptable. Our policy is very strict when it comes to business exclusivity per area and will not post competing businesses in the same area. If you are interested in posting on our website, but see a competitor already there, you could advertise to another area that is available or wait until their time is up, if they choose not to renew.
 
Our job is getting a business in front of the San Diegans who live and work in its’ direct vicinity and can benefit most. Our campaigns are designed to reach local buyers with strong purchasing power. San Diego County has so many unique neighborhoods, and we are able to cover 57 of them! With limited space in each area, your business gets a premium ad presence at a fraction of the cost that agencies would charge, plus we handle everything for you.

Do I have to provide artwork for the ad?

If you have it. No need to go out of your way. Ad design is included! We simply will need some of the basic information so that we can design the ad using your existing branding and then adjust it until you are happy with the final result before uploading to the website.

Why is the cost so low?

As you might know, local marketing can have a high cost. By grouping non-competing local businesses on the website, everyone shares in the cost, greatly reducing the price for each individual business.

Why is the cost so high?

Solo campaigns can be much more expensive, especially when you factor in design, SEO, and the ever-rising click through rates. Our goal is to remove the financial barrier by connecting multiple businesses towards one goal.

Will I be locked into an ongoing contract?

Not at all. There’s no ongoing contract required. After paying the upfront flat fee, there is no other hidden fees. 6 and 12 month options are available because repetition is key for a customer to remember your ad and service. Imagine if you saw a billboard once, would you be able to remember it? Statics show businesses who do multiple months find better results with repetitive advertising instead of a one and done campaign.

Social media is great, but it doesn’t always reach local customers consistently. Our website will put your business directly in front of people in your community- no scrolling, no algorithms, just real visibility.
