The Local Internet is a layered digitalinfrastructure — spanningdiscovery, information, platforms, and an operating system — designed to organize local life atnational scale.
Most platforms are applications. The Local Internet is infrastructure. It’s a
domain-native operating system
for local life — where domains aren’t websites, but governedsystemnodes that coordinate discovery,information, and marketplaces across national,state,and city layers.
The Local Internet Group
is thesteward and governing entity of the Local Internet — responsible for defining the architecture, standards, and interoperability of a multi-layerlocal digital infrastructure system.
Each layer is owned through adistinct butinterconnected domain:
The system compounds througha local flywheel — where discoverydrives participation, participationgeneratesdata, data enablesmarketplaces, and marketplacesreinforce discovery —acrossjurisdiction-aware national, state, and city layers.
This is not a collection of domains.It is a deliberately architected digitalinfrastructure system designed for category control across national,state,city, and vertical layers.
Behind this system sits:
100+ owned marketplaces
1,400+ interlocking domains
This is infrastructure.

If it looks overwhelming, that’s intentional — infrastructure is.
(This is only a portion of the full system.)

The Local Internet - Built by Localzz
Localzz is building the branded domain infrastructure for the Local Internet — connecting how people live to how the digital world works.
Localzz and The Local Internet form the naming, identity, and discovery layer for local information — the foundational infrastructure everything else runs on.
We define how local information is named, discovered, and governed across the Local Internet.
Localzz powers The Local Internet.
Localzz Life () is what people experience.
Localzz is the infrastructure layer
The Local Internet is the public experience
The Local Platform enables an open ecosystem
Marketplaces activate commerce (branded by category or geography)
Media anchors trust and community (locally branded, infrastructure-backed)
Today, local discovery is fragmented across search engines, ad platforms, directories, and media sites—none of which are designed to work together. The result:
- Businesses rent visibility instead of owning it
- Communities lose durable digital infrastructure
- National platforms extract value without reinforcing local ecosystems
The internet was never built to reflect how people actually live.
Daily life happens locally—within neighborhoods, cities, regions, and states—yet the digital world remains fragmented, national, and…
