The Calendar and Directory are Fully Integrated with Locable's Marketing Platform Making Your Job of Maintaining a Robust Calendar & Directory Easier Than Ever!

Sure, you can create a calendar and directory on all sorts of website platforms but only the Community Content Engine provides the tools to automate cross-linking, spotlight-related articles, sponsored content, events, offers and more.

Every local event, by definition, has a local venue thus when the venue is a business it's included in our directory automatically with a reference back to the event.

Our Engagement Module leverages business information to enable you to run sponsored giveaways, polls and Reader's Choice Awards.

Do you have articles that reference businesses or want to insert event previews including the image, preformatted title, description and links?

It couldn't be easier with our built-in Listing Tagging and Content Snippet Generator features.

These powerful tools make your content richer while dramatically improving search engine optimization, content discovery, and social media sharing... not to mention... your page views increase and you SHOW MORE ADS!

With our Engagement Module, you can run them natively which leverages the directory as a foundation. Included are our Polling and Giveaway (run both Contests and Sweepstakes) Features.

Locable's web platform for local marketing, cross-promotion, and collaboration is linked to the Community Content Engine allowing local events and other content posted by local businesses and nonprofits to appear on your website automatically without posting to your site directly.
