Partner Programs

The Platform

A Greater Town is a national marketing platform organized around a simple idea: everything is local. Every business, every listing, every piece of content is tied to the town it belongs to. That geocentric structure is why search engines trust us — and why the businesses on our platform get found

We host over 6 million posts from more than 927,000 registered users, representing roughly 2 million businesses, nonprofits, independent contractors, and other entities across America. Our data is powered by direct feeds from trusted industry sources including MLS associations, BrightLocal, AdviceLocal, WhiteSpark, and Synapse — giving us one of the most comprehensive local business indexes online.

The result is a platform where consumers find what they're looking for and businesses get the visibility they deserve — without paying for ads.

Put Your Clients on the Front Page. Without Lifting a Camera.

You already know which of your clients deserve real media coverage. The Partner Program gives you a way to hand it to them — professionally produced video, podcast, editorial, and social content — at a bulk rate, under your relationship.

No affiliate links. No commission awkwardness. You buy Small Business Talks packages in bulk, we fulfill them for your clients, and you keep control of the relationship.

Who the Partner Program Is Built For

The Partner Program is for people and companies whose business depends on delivering results to other small businesses:

Marketing and advertising agencies who want to add a premium editorial media product to their service menu without hiring a video team

Local SEO firms who need high-authority backlinks and ranking content for their clients

PR professionals and consultants who want a done-for-you earned-media product

they can bundle into retainers

Chambers of Commerce and business associations giving member benefits or sponsor perks

Franchises and multi-location brands who want consistent storytelling across locations

Business coaches and advisors who want to invest in their top clients

Economic development organizations telling the story of local employers and job creators

If you serve small businesses and you want to hand them something they'll remember — without building a production studio — this is the program.

How the Partner Program Works

Step 1 — Pick your volume. Choose how many Small Business Talks packages you want to purchase. The more you buy, the lower the per-unit cost.

Step 2 — We give you redemption codes. Each package comes with a unique code (or a custom intake URL like agreatertownmedia.com/intake/your-company). You decide who gets them and when.

Step 3 — Your client redeems. They go to the intake form, enter the code, and book their interview. No price tag, no tracking link — it feels like a gift from you.

Step 4 — We produce and deliver. Our team runs the interview, edits the video, writes the article, designs the social graphics, and publishes everything across the full campaign. Your client gets a four-week experience. You get the credit.

Step 5 — You keep the relationship. We fulfill quietly in the background. Your client associates the whole experience with your brand, not ours.

Why Partners Use Small Business Talks

It's a premium gift that costs you very little. At bulk pricing, you can hand a client a full media campaign for the price of a nice dinner. The perceived value is enormous — video interview, podcast episode, editorial article on a DA 60 website, 15 branded social posts. The actual cost to you is fractional.

It's a retainer-grade add-on. Agencies are adding Small Business Talks into gold-tier packages as a differentiator. It's the kind of thing a prospect sees on your proposal and says, "Wait, you do that?"

It's a client retention tool. When you invest in a client's visibility, they remember. Churn drops. Referrals go up.

It's leverage for your own content. Your clients' stories, published on a platform with 13,000+ ranking keywords and 325,000 monthly users, reflect back on you. You become the agency that gets its clients seen.

It's turnkey. No production pipeline to manage. No freelancers to coordinate. You sell it or gift it, we deliver it.

Partner vs. Affiliate — Which One Fits You?

This is the most common question we get. Here's the difference:

The Affiliate Program is for people who want to refer prospects to us and earn a 15% commission on each sale. The buyer pays us directly. You get paid per referral. It's clean and hands-off, but the relationship with the buyer is ours.

The Partner Program is for people who want to buy Small Business Talks and then distribute it to their own clients. You pay us once at a discount. You control who receives it, how it's positioned, and what it looks like alongside your other services. The relationship with the buyer is yours.

If your plan is "I'll tell my friends to check it out," you want the Affiliate Program. If your plan is "I want to bundle this into my agency retainer" or "I want to gift this to my top 10 clients this year," you want the Partner Program.

You can join both. Just don't stack them on the same sale.
