Let’s face it, running a small business can sometimes feel like you’re whispering into a hurricane. You know your products and services are brilliant, but getting people to actually notice? That’s the tricky bit.

Good news: you don’t need to do all the shouting yourself. Becoming a Handpicked Local Member gives your business the kind of visibility, credibility, and support that money usually can’t buy (except, in this case, it can).
Here are the Top 4 Benefits of Membership that make it a no-brainer:
1. £620 of FREE Advertising in Our E-Magazines
That’s right, £620 worth of space in our much-loved E-Magazines where locals go for inspiration, stories, and recommendations. Your business, right in the middle of it.

2. A Full Listing on Our Business Index
Think of this as your online shopfront – complete with links to your website and socials. It’s an easy way for people to find you, follow you, and start spending with you.
3. SEO-Boosting Backlinks
Backlinks are like gold dust in the world of Google. With Handpicked Local pointing people (and search engines) your way, your website earns that extra “vote of confidence” to help push you higher up the rankings.
4. Social Media Exposure to Millions
Your posts get shared across our social platforms – that’s 2.5 million people reached every week and 16 million impressions every month. Suddenly, your business is being championed by a trusted name in front of an audience you’d struggle to reach on your own.

The Bottom Line
Joining Handpicked Local is like putting your business on a giant stage, without the stage fright. You get more eyes on your brand, more traffic to your website, and more people talking about you – all while being part of a supportive local community.
