Frequently Asked Questions
How does review/approval work?
We quickly check each submission for accuracy and community fit. You’ll get an email when it’s approved and live.
Can I keep my phone or street address private?
Yes. You can leave phone empty or choose to hide it. Home-based businesses can hide the street line and show only city/state.
Do I need a paid plan?
No. The Free plan works great. Paid plans simply boost visibility, allow reviews, and add promotional perks like file uploads.
How do upgrades work?
Start free, then upgrade anytime. Your listing keeps its reviews and details—only visibility and features change.
What is the Founding Partner program?
It’s a limited-time opportunity to support LocalRoots early and receive ongoing recognition and perks at a special $199 annual rate. Only a limited number of Founding Partner spots are available.
Content Guidelines
PDF Uploads:
Featured and Partner listings may upload one or more PDFs to enhance their profile. These files should directly represent your business — examples include menus, flyers, event schedules, brochures, or donation forms.
PDFs may not contain unrelated advertisements, offensive material, or links to outside promotions not associated with your business.
Reviews:
Customer reviews are a key part of helping others discover trusted local businesses. Reviews must reflect real experiences and follow basic respect guidelines — no profanity, discrimination, or spam.
Featured listings may display up to three reviews; Partner listings can display an unlimited number.
Images & Descriptions:
Please use high-quality photos that accurately reflect your business. Descriptions should be original and community-friendly. Listings with poor-quality or misleading content may be edited or removed at our discretion to maintain directory quality.
