A Little about oUR DIRECTOR
Amanda has been running niche publications since 2012. She loves living in Columbus and supporting local businesses. She and her family love going to the farmers market on Saturday mornings. Her little kids especially love going because they get a Popsicle!
Amanda strives to be a community connector and help the new families moving into the area, become acclimated and find the best of the best businesses to support. She moved to the area in 2016, so she knows how hard it can be to find doctors, preschools and other businesses.
In addition, she can provide a unique opportunity for businesses to reach a very desirable demographic of New mover and homeowners. The business owners she works with love that they can build trust and word-of-mouth referrals with the residents through a unique partnership that includes print, social media advertising, and invitations to in-person social events.
Frequently Asked Questions
by Local Businesses and Organizations
How long does it take for local advertising to work?
Although it takes time for people to trust and choose a business, Belocal begins at the top of the funnel and provides multiple opportunities for a business brand to be conveyed to new and long term local residents in a relational, rather than transactional manner. We do this through a multi-platform strategy that increases accessibility through print, social, and web.
Who receives the Belocal Printed Area Guide?

How can I increase local engagement on social media?
