How It Works

Your best assets online, where they belong.

Destination Main Street is a turnkey Market Launch that transforms a town into a digitally connected destination in about 60 days.

Chains dominate local search because they market as one coordinated system. A Destination Market Launch gives your local businesses a coordinated system of their own.

Step 1

Businesses Reserve

Your market opens for reservations. Local businesses and organizations claim their place on the Pocket Guide. We handle outreach and onboarding.

Step 2

Storefronts Go Live

We create a professional, differentiated presentation of each business's unique assets, with photographs, descriptions, and keywords, approved by the business before publication.

Step 3

The Guide Prints

When reservations complete the Pocket Guide, it's printed with a local printer. Participating businesses pick up guides to distribute at their counters. In Andrews: 5,000 guides across 60+ locations.

Step 4

The Market Ranks Together

Thousands of keywords surface the whole market as one unit, and your local businesses compete in search the way chains do: together.

No new staff. No software to learn. No project to manage. We launched the first Destination ourselves, and built DestinationMainSt.com to make opening a market accessible for every community.

Matched 2nd Year Included

One budget line buys a two-year presence, not a one-year experiment.

When Year 3 begins, businesses take over renewal at $199/year.

  • A permanent Digital Destination Guide online at DestinationMainSt.com, with each business linked directly to its live Virtual Storefront
  • Roughly 8,000 keywords describing previously hidden local assets
  • A Virtual Storefront for every participating business, produced end to end and approved by each business before publication
  • One coordinated system that markets your businesses together on an even playing field
  • Your Destination showcased as a unified local identity, not just the superstar businesses
  • Your Pocket Guide printed with a local printer
  • Matched 2nd Year included in the package price

In the first destination, the documented 25% sales growth came in two years. That is why the second year is included.

Optional: Destination Safety public safety upgrade available, $5,000.
