    JB Communications Launches the Largest Directory of Verified Locally Owned Businesses in the Greater New Orleans Area

    To support local businesses during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, JB Communications designed and launched ShopLocalNola.com, the largest directory for verified locally owned businesses in the Greater New Orleans area. This is a free service for local owned businesses and consumers. ShopLocalNola.com has nearly 2,000 verified listings for businesses in the parishes of Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and Tangipahoa. Local owned businesses can claim or add their listing for free. Once a business claims or adds a listing, it is verified as a local owned business before publishing. With ShopLocalNola.com, the goal is to provide a user-friendly platform in which consumers can search locally owned businesses in their area. Businesses can increase their visibility, and shoppers can easily locate products and services that suit their needs.

    The COVID-19 pandemic was a blow for locally owned businesses across the nation. Even more so for the Greater New Orleans area, a place in which tourism revenue heavily supports the local economy. Jacquie Bonano, the owner of JB Communications and founder of ShopLocalNola.com, says one of the things her team worked hard to accomplish during COVID-19, was keeping their clients visible through search engines, social media, and local resources. “During our research, we discovered that it is not easy to find an extensive list of verified locally owned businesses to patronize in the Greater New Orleans area,” she says. “Throughout times of crisis, it is imperative that businesses have more resources to stay visible in the public eye. ShopLocalNola.com was inspired by that initiative.”
