LocalScoop

About Us

One place to find what's actually happening near you — right now.

LocalScoop is a local discovery app — type where you are and what you want, and it finds the events, restaurants, and deals actually happening nearby. It started in Sussex, Wisconsin, but it works wherever you point it: search any city or use your current location, and it searches that neighborhood instead. Instead of checking five different apps to find an event, a restaurant deal, and something to do with your kids this weekend, you just type what you want — and get a real, ranked answer.

For families and locals

Type something like "free things to do this weekend with my kids" and LocalScoop searches events, local businesses, and live deals together — not just one category at a time. It understands what you actually mean, not just the exact words you type.

It's not another feed to scroll. No accounts required to browse or save things for later — though signing in lets your saved places follow you across devices and get you a quick heads-up email when something you saved is happening today.

Built for finding, not scrolling

Most local social feeds and neighborhood apps are built for posting and scrolling — not for finding a specific answer fast. LocalScoop is built the other way around: you ask a question, you get a direct, ranked answer, sorted by distance and relevance to what you actually asked for.

How LocalScoop helps local businesses grow

If you run a restaurant, shop, or local service, LocalScoop gives you a direct line to people nearby who are actively looking for something to do or somewhere to go — not passively scrolling past an ad.
