Part of The Local Internet
The Local Core
The shared infrastructure behind The Local Internet.
One core. Many local experiences.
Governed local records, places, trust, relationships and information are kept once in the Core — and support many discovery and publishing experiences.
The core
Records → Places → Trust → Relationships → Governance → Distribution → Intelligence
01
Records
Structured records for businesses, organizations, public agencies and other supported entities — held once.
Explore records →02
Places
The geographic structure connecting country, state, county and city.
Explore places →03
Trust
Claims, independent verification, sources, review and history. Verified, Claimed and Listed stay separate states.
How review works →04
Relationships
Connections among records, services, service areas, organizations and places, held in the Local Internet Registry.
See the Registry →05
Governance
Nothing publishes automatically. Publication, reach and promotion need an independent decision, and every decision is kept on record.
Editorial standards →06
Distribution
Approved information appears on the destinations it qualifies for — never copied, always the same record.
See the Surfaces →07
Intelligence
Rules that interpret trusted facts, such as the deterministic Owner Intelligence used by LocalBusinesses.ai.
