How to Start Your Everything Local Storefront (Step by Step)
The Locals
Everything Local Team · July 8, 2026
Starting an online storefront used to mean hiring a developer, paying for hosting, and waiting weeks. Not anymore. With Everything Local, you can have a professional storefront that takes customers today — and right now it's free during launch.
Here's exactly how to get set up.
1. Create your free account
Head to the business sign-up page and choose "business." All you need is your name, email, and a password — no credit card required. Every new business starts with full Local Pro+ access, free during launch.
2. Build your storefront
From your dashboard, add the essentials that build trust:
- Your logo and a cover photo (we'll even use your first product photo automatically)
- A short, honest description — write like you'd talk to a neighbor
- Your service area — the towns you cover, which also helps you show up in local search
3. Add your products or services
List what you offer with clear titles, real photos, and honest pricing. Every listing can have its own call-to-action — Book Now, Call Now, Request a Free Estimate, or Buy Now — so customers know exactly what to do next.
4. Turn on the ways customers reach you
Switch on click-to-call and text, the estimate/lead form, and messaging so a hot lead never goes cold. Everything lands in one inbox — no personal phone number required.
5. Get found locally
Your storefront is built for local search from day one. Add your service locations, collect a few reviews, and share your page and referral link with your network to get momentum.
That's it — you're open for business. Next, read our 10 Ways to Grow Your Local Business Online, and explore the free Business Incubator for more guides and tools.
