We're pretty excited at Localist HQ. Over the past year, we've collected 39,522 opinions from passionate Aucklanders, created a hub for 53,562 businesses to communicate with their customers and helped 1,709,871 people find what's good around here.
But the reaaally exciting bit is what we've just done with the place. We've taken all your opinions, for everything from cafes, galleries, builders, lawyers, plumbers and more - then ranked them.
Thanks to every passionate Aucklander who has shared their voice, Localist is now the definitive place to find what's good around here.
- Top Rated businesses. Great businesses get talked about for all the right reasons, and now we amplify this word of mouth more than ever before. Top Rated businesses are just that - rated highly by Aucklanders. These businesses not only get a boost in our search results, we'll also thank them for being awesome with a free profile in our glossy new Localist Good Guide out in October.
- Super Reviewers. The most dedicated and sharing Aucklanders on Localist become Super Reviewers. These trusted reviewers get profiled online and in our printed Localist Good Guide, and businesses they rave about get an even bigger boost in our search results. You don't get that with Google.
- CornerStore. You may have heard of the100, the awesome loyalty programme we've had since launch last June. Well CornerStore is even better. Every time you rave, you earn tokens to redeem for amazing rewards in CornerStore. There's no limit to how many people can join, and you can redeem rewards any time throughout the month!
Please take a look around. We'd really love to know what you think of the changes we've made, so please leave a comment below, or email us.
Last but not least, a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has found and shared what's good around here. We literally could not have got this far without you. And in our humble opinion, we reckon you make Auckland the kind of place we're really proud to be part of.
We love what the Localist is doing for businesses in Auckland! What a fantastic concept you guys have created, Instead of just buying your way to the top...You need to earn your way there by delivering The best service possible! Thanks to the team at Localist from Eden builders
Really exciting concept, hope that it works as it should
LOVE Localist. It's going from strength to strength. Well done.
I agree, finding a service or company or a place to eat all in one place and based based on customer reviews is fantastic!
Awesome idea Localist. Since the new review / token began, I have got to know what Localist is all about, and now I am hooked :) I have already passed the message on, so get ready for the big boom!
We love you localist! I love how easy it is to find new places to go, I love how awesome the app is, how good the top100 was (and cornerstone will be!) but mostly I love the fact that I can find all the best places (my personal favourites or something new) around town no matter where I am! Thanks guys and massive congrats!!
