👋 Welcome to r/LocalExpertGuide

Welcome to the community! This is a space designed for professionals to share their hard-earned expertise and for members to find high-quality help.

To keep this community from becoming a "link farm" and to ensure we don't get flagged for spam, we have one golden rule: Lead with Value.

🛠 How to post here without getting banned:

1. The "90/10" Rule: For every promotional post you make, you should have 90% of your info be helpful. Reddit's systems track this—don't be a "drive-by" poster.
2. No "Naked" Ads: Do not just post a link to your website or a "Hire Me" flyer. Your post must provide a lesson, a case study, or a deep-dive insight that helps the reader even if they never click your link.
3. Transparency is Key: If you are the owner of the business you're discussing, use the "Brand Affiliate" flair or state it clearly at the top of your post.
4. Contact Info: You are welcome to leave your contact info or a link at the bottom of a high-quality educational post. Let your expertise be your calling card.

Example of a GREAT post:
"Here are 5 mistakes I see clients making and how we fixed them for a 20% gain... [Detailed Guide]... If you have questions, I'm the founder of [Company] and you can DM me."

Example of a post that will be DELETED:
"Get 20% off [Niche] services today! Click here: link.com"

We want you to succeed and grow your business here, but we do it by being the smartest person in the room, not the loudest.
