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.

  4. 04

    Relationships

    Connections among records, services, service areas, organizations and places, held in the Local Internet Registry.

  5. 05

    Governance

    Nothing publishes automatically. Publication, reach and promotion need an independent decision, and every decision is kept on record.

    Editorial standards →

  6. 06

    Distribution

    Approved information appears on the destinations it qualifies for — never copied, always the same record.

    See the Surfaces →

  7. 07

    Intelligence

    Rules that interpret trusted facts, such as the deterministic Owner Intelligence used by LocalBusinesses.ai.

A business keeps one underlying record. Every experience reads that same record — none of them holds a copy.
