Build the Future of Local Information With Us

Who we are and what has been built

Local Internet Holdings is the organization developing The Local Internet ecosystem. The Local Core is its shared infrastructure: the records, place information and approval rules that every participating website uses. Some websites below are open to the public today; others are built but not yet open, and some are only proposed. They are parts of one system, not separately operating businesses.

• The Local Core

  Shared infrastructure and governance — the one place where business and place information is kept and approved.

  LIVE

• The Local Internet

  Connected local discovery websites.

  LIVE

• The USA Internet

  National information websites using the same records.

  LIVE

• Localzz

  Local business discovery. Built; not yet confirmed by a dated check.

  IMPLEMENTED

• IZZE

  Topic-focused local websites, such as auto, pets and gardening. LIVE applies to the deployed topic sites only.

  LIVE

• The Informed Network

  Geographic and editorial publishing. Edition tools are built; regional editions are not yet open to the public.

  IMPLEMENTED

• LocalInternet.ai

  A public website today. The AI capabilities it describes are proposed and not operating.

  PROPOSED

• LOCORION

  Proposed AI orchestration for six specialist agents. None of the agents is connected or operating.

  PROPOSED

LIVE

Available to the public today, confirmed working by a dated check.

IMPLEMENTED

Built and in place, but switched off, in preview, or not yet independently confirmed.

PROPOSED

Planned. Not built, or not connected to the platform.

What is operational today

Checked October 20, 2026.

• Shared business records

  LIVE

  6 real business records reviewed and published. Test and demonstration records are excluded.

• Geographic coverage

  LIVE

  50 states configured and 152 places visible to the public. Configured coverage does not mean content exists in every place.

• Review and approval

  LIVE

  New places, stories and placements wait for staff review. Nothing publishes automatically.

• Distribution eligibility

  IMPLEMENTED

  Each website shows only records it is approved and eligible to show. Being eligible does not mean a website already publishes a record.

• Actual public publishing

  LIVE

  One record appears on several of our own websites, each appearance with its own dated approval.

• Shared navigation

  LIVE

  One navigator connects participating local and national websites.

• Place context between websites

  LIVE

  On participating websites, a visitor's chosen community carries over between sites.

• Featured placements

  IMPLEMENTED

  Placement scheduling is built and has been used on our own websites. It does not show independent advertiser adoption or outside advertising income.

A practical example: one business record

Northland Advertising LLC, a Duluth, Minnesota business, shows how one record moves through The Local Core. Disclosure: this business is owned by the company's founder, so it shows how the system works, not customer adoption. Its "verified" label comes from an automated check that matched public identifiers in September 2026; it has not been verified by an independent third party.

1. 1

   Business record

   One record holds the business's public details.

2. 2

   Geographic relationship

   The record is linked to Duluth as a community it serves. That link was approved on September 20, 2026.

3. 3

   Governance

   Each change and each website appearance needs its own approval.

4. 4

   Distribution eligibility

   Websites that may show the record are recorded separately from websites that actually show it.

5. 5

   Approved publication

   The record appears on several of our own websites, each with a dated approval. The same record is shown each time; it is never copied.

6. 6

   Optional promotion

   The record has had featured placements on our own websites. These show the feature works; they are not outside advertising.

Why another organization could benefit

• One foundation, many brands

  A single shared core can support many websites, so each new brand does not need its own systems.

• Reusable information

  Business and place information is kept once and can be reused wherever it is approved to appear.

• Governed publishing

  Approval rules travel with the information, which could reduce the risk of publishing something unreviewed.

• Every level of geography

  The design supports national, state, county, city and topic-specific experiences.

• Build on what exists

  Partners could use existing infrastructure instead of building every component themselves.

• Room to expand

  The same foundation could extend across publishing, discovery, advertising and business technology.

These are capabilities and potential advantages of the design, not proven financial outcomes.

Strategic Assets and Portfolio

Local Internet Holdings holds a portfolio of domain names. Some of those names are operating websites built on The Local Core's shared infrastructure; others are held for future use. Owning a domain is not the same as operating a website on it, and not every website below is a separate business. The examples are public websites, shown to illustrate the architecture.

• One Local GridHow records, places and destinations relate and distribute.
• The USA StackWhat the American implementation is made of.
• The USA PlatformWhere businesses and organizations participate.
• The USA OSHow the system is operated day to day.
• The USA GridThe distribution structure behind publication.
• The USA SurfacesThe digital experiences the network produces.
• The Namespace CompanyThe namespace strategy behind the portfolio.
• Local Internet RegistryA public index of authoritative objects and recorded relationships.

We do not publish a domain count or a marketplace count here, because neither figure has yet been reconciled with a current, authoritative inventory.

Platform capabilities

Each capability carries the same status shown on our Ecosystem Overview, so you can see what is live today, what is built but not yet open, and what is only proposed.

• Shared navigation across sites

  One navigator connects participating local and national websites.

  LIVE

• Place context carried between sites

  On participating sites, a visitor's chosen community follows them between sites.

  LIVE

• Governed publication

  Every publication requires approval; there is no automatic publishing.

  LIVE

• New places held for review

  Places suggested by the public stay hidden until staff approve them.

  LIVE

• Verification labels

  Records show what has and has not been verified, without overstating it.

  IMPLEMENTED

• Regional editions

  Edition tools are built; regional editions are not yet open to the public.

  IMPLEMENTED

• LOCORION internal planning overview

  An internal view of how proposed agents could work. It runs no agents.

  IMPLEMENTED

  Proposed only. No AI agents are connected or operating.
