How to Post Your First Deal on SalesLocal

Welcome, business owner!

Posting your first deal on SalesLocal takes about five minutes. Here's exactly what to do.

1. Create your free account

Click Sign In in the top-right of any page and choose "Sign up." We use Clerk for sign-in, so you can use email, Google, or Apple — whatever's easiest.

2. Tell us about your business

Right after sign-up, you'll be asked for your business name. After that, head to My business in the user menu to add:

Your address and phone number
The category that best fits what you do (Food & Drink, Retail, Services, etc.)
The cities you serve

The cities list controls where your deals show up. If you have a single storefront, just add that one city. If you deliver across a region, add every city you cover.

3. Compose your first deal

Click Post a Local Deal. You have two options:

Compose — write a short post directly on SalesLocal, optionally with an image.
Paste from Facebook — already posted the deal on your Facebook page? Just paste the URL and we'll embed it.

Tip: Deals with a clear price ("$5 off any large pizza") and a clear deadline get the most clicks.

4. Set an expiration date (optional)

Every deal automatically hides from the public feed after 30 days, but if your promo ends sooner, set the Expires date so shoppers know it's time-sensitive.

5. Publish — and watch your dashboard

After you publish, head to My posts to see how your deal is performing. You can edit, repost, or pause anytime.

That's it! Your deal is now visible to every shopper browsing your city on SalesLocal.
