LocalWow was started by a local Chicagoland area businesses man who, like many other local business owner, struggled to find leads, get in front of the right people and really show that he was an expert in his field. Too often people from outside the area were advertising in his area and taking his business! His strength was knowing his industry, getting to know people, taking care of them with customer service that "wowed", and not marketing. Realizing that other businesses were just like this, he wanted to do something to help other local businesses who wanted to be seen more for as the experts they are and share useful information, without feeling like they were trying to sell something every time!We found that so many businesses were great at what they do, but were hard to find and rarely showed others that they knew the answers to the questions people are asking. That's why we decided to launch the directory WITH the Local Wow Podcast.
