Never been done this way
A network you can
see — not scroll.
Every other platform buries local in a feed or a search bar. Social Link shows you what’s alive around you right now — the businesses, the events, the creators — on one live map. It’s networking you can actually see happening.

Powered by AI
Just say what you need.
AI maps your whole city back.
Type it like you’d text a friend. Social Link’s AI reads what you wrote, finds who’s near you right now, and ranks them by real influence — not vanity follower counts. Built on every Nashville campaign we’ve run since 2008.
Natural-language match
Matched 3 creators near you · 0.4s
Top matches · ranked by local influence
Say it in plain English
“I need an influencer for my restaurant.” That’s the whole brief. No filters, no spreadsheets, no agency — the AI reads it and matches.
Ranked by real influence
We map each creator’s actual content reach and how local their audience is — not follower count. A 9K local creator can outrank a 200K national one.
Trained on 17 years of data
Every Nashville campaign Social Link has run since 2008 sharpens the match. Real local outcomes — not guesswork from a stock algorithm.
From a musician taking live tips on a patio to a 1M-follower brand campaign — Social Link serves Nashville’s whole creator, hospitality, and college economy.
One platform, three connections
Connect with everyone
who makes your city run.
Business ↔ Community
Your business shows up live on the map when something’s happening. Local people discover you in real time — not buried in a search result or a feed of ads.
Business ↔ Creators

Business ↔ Business
The B2B layer underneath. HVAC meets property managers. Restaurants meet hotels. AI surfaces the right local referral partner — real relationships, not cold outreach.

A restaurant wants a local creator to cover their new menu. Here’s the entire flow — no agencies, no back-and-forth, no chasing payment.

Built on trust
Verified profiles.
Real people only.
A local network only works if everyone on it is real. Every creator and every business is verified before they can do a deal — and every payment is protected. No bots, no fakes, no exposure.
Verified profiles only
Creators connect a real social account; businesses are verified before they transact. The blue check means a real, confirmed local — not a bought following or a burner.
Payments held in escrow
Money is held safely the moment a deal is accepted and released only when the work is approved and posted. Protected for both sides, every time.
Reputation that follows
Ratings and completed-deal history live on every profile. You see exactly who’s legit and who delivers before you ever commit.
Verified-local audiences
We measure how local a creator’s following actually is — so you reach your city and real foot traffic, not inflated numbers from across the country.
Identity & payment verification handled by trusted partners — your sensitive data never sits with us

Questions, answered
Everything you need to know.
The quick version of how Social Link works, what it costs, and how creators get paid.
What is Social Link?
Social Link is a live local network — a real-time map where Nashville businesses, creators, and community find each other and do brand deals on the spot. Instead of a feed or a stale directory, you see who is open, active, and available around you right now. It is built by Social Link, a Nashville marketing agency operating since 2008.
How does Social Link work?
Businesses post events and creator deals on a live map, AI instantly matches them with local creators by niche and audience, the creator accepts and posts, and payment releases automatically from escrow once the work is approved. The whole flow takes minutes — no agency, no back-and-forth, no chasing invoices.
Is Social Link free to join?
Yes — it is free to create a profile and get on the map. Businesses and creators can list, get discovered, and receive matches at no cost, with optional paid plans for more reach and tools later. Early access is open now for Nashville.
How do creators get paid?
Creators get paid through the platform via secure escrow: the money is held the moment a deal is accepted and released automatically once the work is approved and posted. Deals can be cash or trade — like a comped meal or a free stay — and payouts are handled by trusted payment partners.
How is Social Link different from Upwork or an influencer agency?
Upwork is a global database of strangers you search by keyword; Social Link is a local network you can see. We match Nashville businesses with creators whose audiences actually live in the city — real local reach and foot traffic, not national follower counts — at a fraction of an agency retainer.
Who is Social Link for?
Social Link is for local businesses that want more customers, creators and influencers who want paid local deals, and community members who want to see what is happening around them. Restaurants, bars, hotels, salons, real estate, home services, and local creators all share the same live map.
What cities is Social Link available in?
Social Link is launching in Nashville first, in 2026, with more cities to follow. Joining the early-access list now reserves your spot and gets you on the map the moment your city goes live.
When does Social Link launch?
Social Link launches in Nashville in 2026. You can join the early-access waitlist today as a business or a creator to be first on the map at launch.
