Best of Shop Local
How Best Of Shopping Local Works
Best of Shopping Local is an annual roundup of the best products and services you can find for almost any city in the US.
Throughout the year, residents and visitors alike, submit and vote for everything they love in each city for annual recognition and awards.
The votes are counted. The result is a fabulous resource that showcases great businesses for each city voted on by We The People!
We use "Best of City" instead of states or even county, because we want the winners to benefit from search engine traffic. People, just like you, typically search for what they want/need and the city they live in. For example, when I need a plumber in Atlanta, I may search "Best Plumber Atlanta." I wouldn't search "Best Plumber Georgia," nor "Best Plumber Fulton County."
From Arborist to Zoos, you’ll find businesses and organizations that deserve your attention. You’ll find the best contractors, accountants, lawyers, salons, and more. All at your fingertips, online, and on social media.
And the best part? YOU get to participate by nominating your favorites and voting!
- voting ends November 31, at 11:59 PM.
- results are posted as soon as possible.
