👤

Your Card

Companies Organizations People

🏢

Company Card

Your public-facing business identity. Directory presence across all hubs. Searchable, persistent, county-wide.

👥

Associate Profiles

Community Dynamics

Donors, supporters, and partner organizations connect through your Card. Your institutional network is yours — not scattered across private platforms.

You are many things to many people.

One identity. Three profile types. Each one surfaces a different face of who you are — in your community, in your career, in your field.

🏘️

Casual Profile

Your everyday community presence. Connect with neighbours, access Buy & Sell, post in the CMTY hub, participate in your county. Free. Always.

💼

Professional Profile

Your career card. Skills, credentials, work history, professional hub access. Show up as the professional you are — separate from your personal life.

🔬

Expert Profile

Your authority profile. Specializations, certifications, expert hub listings, consultation requests. The profile that earns you recognition in your field.

One login. Three Cards.

You decide which face to show — and when. Switch between casual, professional, and expert in a single session.

The Basics

Three things to know before you join.

01

What is this?

A community-owned business directory and media platform. Your listing persists — it doesn't scroll off a feed. Your ad spend stays 80% local. You're not joining a social network; you're claiming a presence in the community infrastructure your town already uses.

02

Why is this different?

On Facebook or Google, your content disappears down a timeline and 80% of your ad spend leaves the community. On POCITS, directory listings are permanent and searchable by category — not chronology. And 80% of every advertising dollar stays in your county. Permanently.

03

What does it cost?

A free listing takes 5 minutes to claim. You appear in the BOOK directory, visible to every member in your county. Advertising starts at under a dollar per day for county-wide reach. Listing is always free.

The Card

Your Card. Three ways to use it.

Whether you're a person, an organization, or a business — your Card gives you three tools to show up, connect, and grow.

📋

Not another ad platform.

When you advertise on POCITS, 80 cents of every dollar stays in your county — funding community programs, not a data centre in California.

01

Your community keeps the money

On Google or Meta, your ad spend disappears offshore. On POCITS, 80% of every dollar you spend is deposited into your county reserve — funding community programs, grants, and local infrastructure.

02

Your audience is your neighbours

Reach the people who live, work, and shop in your area. POCITS is hyper-local by design — county-first, always. Your billboard doesn't show up in Tokyo.

03

Profile is free. Reach costs money.

Your listing, your Card, your place in the directory — free. Circulation — putting your presence in front of people in the public commons — that's the product. Priced to match your market.

Advertising Formats

Three ways to be seen.

Every format is placed in the county commons — not an algorithm. Your ad reaches the people in your area, in context, every time.

Portrait

Poster

Your brand in the commons.

Portrait-format placements in hub feeds and category pages. Brand creative, product shots, announcements — displayed to everyone browsing your category, county-wide.

Landscape

Billboard

Own the horizon.

Landscape banners anchored at the top of hub pages and place profiles. Maximum visibility across every county session.

Full Bleed

Wall

The flash moment.

Full-bleed placements that open each hub, category, and subcategory. The first thing every visitor sees — immersive, unmissable, county-wide.

Transparent Pricing

Pricing set by the market.
Not by us.

Ad prices on POCITS are governed by the INDEX system — tracking real advertiser demand, county reach, and audience quality. You always know what you're paying and why. No black boxes.

Community Impact

Your presence funds your community.

80% of every advertising dollar spent on POCITS stays in the county reserve — permanently. That reserve funds programs like WeCare. You don't choose to support your community. You just advertise, and the architecture does it.

Any product — poster, coupon, flyer, billboard, wallpaper
