Find Your Town's Community Board—or Post a Local Business Pin from $1/Month

LocalSquare is a digital community bulletin board where local businesses, organizations, and residents can pin visual ads to their town's shared board. It helps you get discovered by neighbors looking for services, events, or deals in their area.

Pins start at $1 per square per month, though pricing may vary by town and availability. You choose how many squares you want—larger pins get more visibility.

• • A single square (1x1) starts at $1/month
• • A 2x2 pin (4 squares) starts at $4/month
• • You only pay for as long as you want your pin displayed

Use the search bar on the homepage to type your city name or zip code. You can also click "Use my current location" to automatically find boards near you. If your town isn't listed yet, you can request it and we'll add it.

Each pin lasts 30 days from the date of purchase. With auto-renew enabled, your pin automatically renews every 30 days to keep your spot. Without auto-renew, your pin expires and the squares become available again.

• • Your pin stays up exactly 30 days from when you claim it
• • Auto-renew keeps your spot continuously without needing to reclaim

You can select any rectangular shape from a single square up to the full board, depending on availability. Common sizes include:

• • 1x1 (small, budget-friendly)
• • 2x2 or 2x3 (medium, good visibility)
• • 3x3 or larger (premium, maximum impact)

Yes. You can update your pin's image, title, link, and description anytime from your profile. To cancel, simply turn off auto-renew and your pin will expire at the end of the current billing period. No long-term commitments.

Yes! A percentage of every pin purchase goes to charity. You choose which cause to support when you create your pin. Each town board displays how much the community has raised together.

Anyone with something to share with their community. Small business owners, restaurants, real estate agents, local artists, community organizations, and individuals are all welcome. If you want to reach your neighbors, LocalSquare is for you.

LocalSquare starts at $1 per square per month, so a business can test one town without committing to a large campaign. Other platforms use different budgets, bids, and billing models; compare total spend and results for your own audience.

Facebook ads use audience targeting, auctions, and campaign budgets. LocalSquare uses a flat per-square monthly price on a selected town board, starting at $1.

Plus, a detailed LocalSquare pin can create a crawlable local business page. Search engines and answer engines independently decide whether to index or cite it.

A detailed pin creates a dedicated, crawlable page with local business structured data. That can help search and answer engines understand the listing, but LocalSquare cannot guarantee indexing, rankings, citations, traffic, or sales.

LocalSquare and social media serve different purposes. Social media requires constant posting with declining organic reach (only 2-5% of followers see your posts). LocalSquare provides always-on visibility for 30 days per payment without any ongoing effort.

For best results, use both: social media for engagement and LocalSquare for passive, evergreen local presence.

Google Business Profile is free and important for Google Search and Maps. LocalSquare can complement it with a visual presence on a specific community board for $1/month. Use both together: Google Business for its search ecosystem and LocalSquare for community discovery.

LocalSquare is the digital version of community board flyers. A paid pin is designed to stay visible for its purchased term, can link directly to your website, and includes click tracking. Detailed pins can also have a crawlable business page; search engines decide whether to index it.
