User questions

What is LocoGopher?
LocoGopher is a local search site that enables people to not only find local businesses, but find out comprehensive information about those businesses. We are dedicated to providing the most useful and unbiased local search to our users.

What can I search?
Basically, everything. You can search categories, specific businesses, schools, clubs and many other local organizations.


Why am I not getting any results?
You might need to broaden your search like the examples below:

1. If you are searching for a term such as "dog food", try typing "pet food".
2. If you are searching for a business, try searching part of the business name.


If you are still having problems, contact us and we'll look into the issue.

Why can't I find a business that I know exists?
Either the business isn't listed or the address might be incorrect. Try adding the business to our directory or contact us to inquire about the business.

What is the user sign up?
The user sign up allows you to create a profile for reviewing businesses. When you review a business, people can see who wrote the review. You also develop a 'Reviewer Rating' so people know whos reviews to trust. However, you do not have to sign up to review businesses. Users can submit anonymous reviews.

Do I have to sign up to use the site?
Not at all. You can use the site to search the directory, read reviews, view menus and get coupons all without signing up.

Should I sign up ?
That depends on how you use the site. If you are interested in reviewing businesses and developing a good reviewer rating within your community, sign up now!


Do you filter language on the site?
Our goal is to empower local community members to review local businesses. To help promote that empowerment, we will never remove a review. However, we do filter a select few words and phrases to help make LocoGopher a better overall place for communities to connect.

All it takes is a quick search to see if your business is already listed. If it is, register it. If you can't find it, add it.

Can non-profits get involved?
You bet! We encourage any business or organization to get listed.

Can I register my business as a PO Box?
Yes you can. But if you have a physical address, register with that instead.

We recommend that if your business does have a physical address, register with it.
