How to get your startup listed on Locable
TL;DR
Locable is US local marketing software that powers community calendars and business directories for Main Street programmes, chambers of commerce and tourism offices. A local business joins free through a participating Locable community, or pays from $27 a month (billed yearly) for its own marketing tools. It suits US shops, restaurants and service firms in a town that already runs on Locable.
What is Locable?
Locable has worked with communities through Main Street America since 2019. Its customers are organisations that keep a town's information current: Main Street programmes, small chambers of commerce, DMOs (destination marketing organisations), libraries and nonprofits.
Each runs its community calendar, business directory and newsletters on Locable. Businesses in that community get a Locable profile, and their events, jobs, offers and updates flow into the shared calendars and directories, to Google Business Profile and to Facebook. Locable calls this network Local Connections, and you search it at locable.com/connect.
The domain authority of 37 belongs to locable.com. Your gain is visibility on your own town's directory and calendar, from one profile that feeds several local websites. We did not verify whether profile links to your website are followed or nofollow.
Who should submit to Locable?
- US brick-and-mortar businesses (shops, cafés, studios, local services) in a town whose Main Street, chamber or tourism office uses Locable.
- Women founders opening a shop on a US main street: the downtown organisation gets you in fastest.
- Skip it if you are outside the United States.
- Skip it if you run SaaS or an online-only startup.

How do you share your startup on Locable?
- Search for your business and town at Find Local Connections to see whether your community runs on Locable.
- If it does, contact your local Main Street, chamber, DMO or community foundation and ask to join on the free Engage plan.
- If it does not, or you want more tools, open the pricing page and contact Locable or request a demo for the Build or Grow plan.
- Complete your profile, then post your events, offers and job openings so they reach the community calendar and directory.
Tips to get more out of Locable
- Post every event and offer: that content travels to the shared calendar, Google Business Profile and partner websites.
- Ask your Main Street or chamber how a business gets featured in its directory and calendar.
- If your town participates, start on Engage and move to Build only when you need the newsletter.
- No website yet? The free Locable profile gives you a public page to link from Google Business Profile and social media.
Our verdict
Locable is a solid choice for a US main-street business in a town that already uses it, and the free Engage plan costs nothing to try. For a tech startup or anyone outside the US it adds nothing, so skip it.
