FAQ Addition for Business Page
How do businesses participate?
Businesses join the same community as residents. There's no separate business portal or advertising platform. You're here as neighbors who happen to run great local spots. Share genuinely, engage authentically, and be part of the fabric of Richmond's online community space, moderated by locals who care about keeping this place healthy and useful.
How is this different from posting on Facebook or Instagram?

It's a community space stewarded by Richmond locals, focused on helping neighbors find what they need and stay connected to local life. Your updates reach people actively looking for local information, not scrolling through an endless feed.
