Next-door is a busy neighborhood feed. Posts drop fast and are limited to nearby neighborhoods. Your info is hard to find later. A stable, searchable directory listing solves that.
What’s great about Nextdoor
-
Neighbors are local and engaged.
-
You can make a free Business Page and post updates.
- You can post questions, concerns, observations
- You can ask neighbors for referrals, questions, keep track of lost pets and kids, and just stay connected to your neighbors.
The problem: posts disappear in the noise
-
Nextdoor is a constantly updated newsfeed, so your post gets pushed down quickly. People often struggle to find older posts later unless they’ve remembered to bookmark.
-
Business pages aren’t broadly searchable—they’re mainly visible in your neighborhood and nearby areas (unless someone has your direct link). You can create an ad for your business but it isn’t cheap.
-
Even analytics (Post Insights) are short-lived—available for about 14 days, which tells you how brief the attention window is.
How a directory listing fixes this
-
Always-on, easy-to-find page. Your contact info, hours, and link sit on a dedicated page that doesn’t vanish in a feed.
- Listings Are in categories like area of the island, type of business, etc. Need a plumber, click the plumber category
-
Simple to share. Use your listing link anywhere—social, email, texts—so people can find you later without hunting through old posts. All of your information is in one place and looks good.
-
Built for action. Clear “call, email, or visit website” buttons help customers reach you fast on mobile. (See live listing examples.)
Best of both worlds
-
Keep posting on Nextdoor for quick bursts of attention.
-
Point those clicks to your stable HI Reach Now listing so people can find you again tomorrow (and next month).
- We share the directory locally in a variety of places and you get seen through our shares as well.
- We will be picking a business each week for Feature Friday
Add your free listing (takes a few minutes), and upgrade to Premium ($50/year) later if you want more media (video), link and other options that help you stand out more.
