For the person telling their town what is going on
Be the local news in your town.
Hey Locals tells you what to make and exactly what to say. Real stories from your community every week, researched, sourced, and written as the script you read on camera.
We are opening towns a few at a time. Sign in if you have an invite.
There is a fog rolling in.
Generated content, in infinite supply, filling every feed. It gets thicker from here.
When it settles, attention goes to the voices people already know by name. Local trust is the one thing none of it can manufacture, and in most towns nobody has claimed it yet.
That is the runway. It is clear today. It will not stay clear.
Hey Locals gets you in the air fast, on the tactics we refined across more than 20,000 hyperlocal videos for clients around the country.
Two things land on your desk every week
Scoops
What actually happened here.
It hunts the stories in your town, follows them to their sources, and writes what you say about each one. You pick the ones worth covering and skip the rest.
Out & Abouts
The stories that never expire.
The landmark, the local history, the place everyone drives past and nobody knows about. What people share, save, and send to a friend who moved away.
The news keeps you current. The evergreen stories build the audience between news cycles. Together they fill a calendar you never have to stare at.
Not a topic. The actual words.
Everything else hands you an idea and a blank page. The blank page is the part that costs you your week. Hey Locals hands you a finished script, in your voice, at the length you record, with the hook and the sign-off already in it. You read it and the piece is done.
How it works
Pick your stories
Open a batch and it is already full of what happened in your town this week. Keep the good ones, skip the rest. It takes a few minutes.
Read the script
Every story you keep comes back written, in your voice, at the length you record. Put it on the teleprompter and use your phone as the remote.
Post it
One story fans out into a short, a carousel, a blog post, and a newsletter section, each with a date on it. The next issue fills itself.
How it knows what is going on
Underneath all of it, Hey Locals watches your town. The event calendars, the employers who are hiring, the businesses that open and close, the accounts worth following. It checks every fifteen minutes and it remembers every story you have already covered, so what comes back to you is local, current, and something you have not said yet.
Local trust is the whole game.
