Want your town, city or neighbourhood on xplore?
We only go live in places where enough independent businesses come together to join the movement — to ensure every launch delivers real value for our growing community of xplorers, and the businesses themselves.

We don’t launch everywhere.
We launch where it matters.
Xplore Local is community-powered. That means we don’t scrape directories or populate empty listings — we build every place from the ground up with certified independent businesses who are proud to be part of something different.
We only activate a town, city, or neighbourhood once enough local independents have joined. This ensures the app offers an exciting, trusted discovery experience from day one.
How xplore works
Quality over quantity
We want xplorers to discover places that are rich in local character — not a map full of gap sor emptyshop fronts.
Built with independents
Every listing is real, verified, and proudly independent — no chains, no filler, no scraping.
Real local impact
By going live only when the community is ready, we help drive meaningful traffic, spend and pridewhere it matters most.

So talk to your neighbours. Share the vision. Bring your community together — and let’s build something that truly belongs to the independents.
