Our mission
Our mission is to strengthen Otero County by keeping local dollars local, increasing visibility for small businesses, and making it easier for residents to support the people who make our community work.
Why we built it
Local businesses are hard to identify online
Search results don’t always make it clear which businesses are truly local and which are part of national chains or lead-generation networks.
Local dollars have real impact
Money spent locally supports jobs, families, and long-term economic stability in the community.
Local deserves better tools
Small businesses shouldn’t need massive budgets to be discoverable in their own hometown.
Who this is for
Residents
People who want to support local businesses without guessing who’s actually local.
Local business owners
Businesses looking for honest visibility within their own community, without competing against national brands.
