Businesses
Run a shop, venue, service, or brand? ReCult is built to put you in front of the people who are actually nearby. This page covers posting as a business the right way.
Why post as a business
- Reach your actual neighborhood. Your posts show up for people in the areas you serve — not a random global audience.
- Ride the local signal. When your community Beeps a post, it stays visible to nearby people while it’s relevant.
- Fit the moment. Post a pop-up, a today-only special, a market stall, or a service — in the category people are already browsing.
Set up a brand identity
A brand identity lets your posts come from your business instead of your personal name.
- Create a brand. Add your business name, a short handle, and your default city.
- Set a default category. Pick the category you post in most, so new posts start in the right place.
- Add a logo or photo (optional). A recognizable image helps people spot you on Pulse.
- Post as your brand. When composing, choose your brand as the author instead of yourself.
Deeper brand management — like team access and verified ownership — is still being built. If you see a Coming soon label in brand settings, that part isn’t live yet.
Be clear you’re a business
Some categories — like Pop-ups & Markets, Services, and Deals & Promos — ask you to disclose that a post is from a business. This keeps ReCult honest: people can tell the difference between a neighbor’s tip and a promotion.
Post your real special, event, or offer under a business identity, and check the disclosure when asked.
Dress up an ad as an organic neighbor post. Posing a promo as a personal tip can get it reported and removed.
Listings & reach
Business posts can use the same reach options as any post:
- Free posts reach your local area on Pulse.
- Paid listings keep an offer or item live for a longer window.
- Reach boosts give a timely post a short-term bump nearby.
Prices are always shown in the app before you confirm. Certain business categories may be reviewed before a paid promotion goes live, to keep the network trustworthy.
Tips for local businesses
- Post the specific thing. “Half-price pastries after 4pm today” outperforms “Visit us!”
- Use the right category. People browsing Food & Drink or Events & Shows are already in buying mode.
- Keep it current. Remove offers once they end so your Pulse presence stays trustworthy.
- Answer in chat. Replying quickly in a post’s live chat turns a browser into a customer.
- Get regulars in your loop. When someone Loops your business, they’re in your information loop — so your posts reach them faster.
Think like a regular, not a billboard. The businesses that do best on ReCult post the way a helpful local would — timely, specific, and worth a neighbor’s Beep.
