Hi! I have been using Online Directory in Sidney, BC for almost a year now to promote my Vancouver cafe, and I can say that the platform really works. When I was just starting my business, it was hard for me to find my audience, especially in an environment where people often do not search for something specific, but simply order through global services like Yelp or Google. But VILocal saved me. It is not just a platform for posting information about a business, like on the same Yelp or Google. Here the platform really helps to create a local community, which is more important than ever for a small business. With the help of VILocal, I was able to establish contact with local residents. This is not just a customer who comes into your store and leaves. This is a person who leaves a review, participates in promotions, writes suggestions and shares his opinion about the product. That is, it is not just advertising, it is a dialogue with the client. For example, I recently launched a promotion with a free cup of coffee for new customers, and it was through VILocal that a lot of responses came. Some even suggested ideas on how to improve the menu. I got feedback that you can't get through big platforms where it's all about ratings and reviews.
