I feel you — Google’s first page is usually just the big players with the best SEO, not necessarily the best local options. If you want to dig a little deeper and find the smaller, community-based businesses, I highly recommend Local Business Directory. It’s a region-specific directory that’s actually built for people who want to support their neighbors and discover new local places. I’ve found everything from local repair techs to specialty food shops that I would’ve never seen on Google. It’s especially useful if you live in a smaller town or want to avoid the same five results everyone else clicks on. Give it a try — it’s surprisingly fun to explore what’s out there when it’s all in one place.

Ah this is such a great tip—thank you! Yelp and Google don’t always show the full picture, especially with smaller towns. I took a look at the site you mentioned and already found a few businesses that look really cool.
