    LocoGopher.com - Connecting Communities and Merchants

    LocoGopher is a community-based search engine that aims to help users and local merchants connect to each other. Merchants submit their information along with customer coupons, menus, sale dates, and other relevant information.

    In turn, users can review these local businesses as well as search for them. To perform a search, enter in a few search terms, say, "Book store", followed by a city, state and/or zip code. The list of results will include not only the names of any local businesses that have provided their information, but also a map of where they are located and their addresses, and any reviews that users have submitted about them. The site is completely ad-free, so your results will always be unbiased and uncluttered.

    Locogopher.com In their own words

    "Our mission is founded on a fairly simple premise: to connect local communities and local businesses in ways that are simple and engaging. We want to provide a place where together, we can bridge the gap to provide a local and relevant connection to your local community."

    Why Locogopher.com might be a killer

    LocoGopher is a good tool for anyone looking to explore their community a little more, or any merchant that wants that reach out to its customers online. Since the site is ad-free, it's much less annoying to use than other similar search engines, plus the interface is a lot less cluttered.

    Some questions about Locogopher.com

    LocoGopher could benefit from expansion; right now it's pretty limited to big cities. How and when does the site plan on expanding to include merchants in smaller communities? How much does it cost to submit a listing, and will this be enough for the ad-free site to turn a profit?
