The Local Found · The Local Findability Surface.
Find What's Local
Search for the exact local business, place, service, category, city, event or piece of information you need — one search over the shared Business Records.
Part of the Local Internet discovery journey · The USA Found covers the same step at the national layer.
Find exactly what you need
Discovered is exploration. Found is reaching the specific thing you need — both read the same records, through the same search.
Visible → Discovered → Found → Experienced
One Business Record travels the whole journey. The Local Found is the found step.

Found
The person or system reaches the specific business, place, organization, event or information they need.

One record. Two dimensions.
The same record travels through geography and through discovery. Neither dimension makes a copy of it.
