Get Your Business On The Mic

The Local Loop with Kortney shares authentic stories from South Georgia business owners — celebrating the people behind the storefronts and events that make our town special.

How It Works

We schedule a 45-minute remote or in-shop recording, handle editing and show notes, and promote your episode to our local listeners. You show up ready to talk shop with real stories, struggles, and advice.

  • 45-minute interview, remote or in-shop
  • Full editing + show notes
  • Targeted promotion to local customers

Attract Local Customers

Guests hear your expertise and get a reason to choose your shop — episodes are shared on social channels and shared with you as well.

Build Trust Fast

Tell the real story behind your business, community involvement, and the balance of it all. Personal stories convert faster than ads — listeners become customers when they trust you.

No Technical Hassle

We manage scheduling, recording, editing, and distribution. You show up, tell the story, and approve the final cut — that’s it.

What Shop Owners Say

“After our episode ran, we booked three local customers who mentioned the podcast specifically. It converted directly into estimates and increased our shop’s phone volume by 18% in two weeks.” — Rivera Collision

A relaxed, conversational interview. Remote recording with phone-compliant gear or an in-shop portable setup — we keep it natural and on-topic.
