Your Business. Their Lens. Our Audience.

Show Up in Local Feeds and Trusted Guides with Our UGC-Driven Ad Packages

Lake Oconee Life reaches readers inside Reynolds, Cuscowilla, Great Waters, and beyond—with influence that extends to weekenders, day-trippers, and soon-to-be residents.

Now, we’ve launched something new: a first-of-its-kind locals-powered marketing program designed especially for businesses that thrive on visibility—restaurants, boutiques, events, experiences, and attractions.

Here’s how it works:

You provide a simple gift card or voucher, and our curated Local Guide Insiders capture your business through short-form videos and photos, giving their friends, your existing customers and Lake Oconee Life’s social visitors a real look at what you offer—through a trusted local’s perspective.

We manage it all:

• Your social media presence (no extra creative fees)

• Your placement in The Local’s Guide

• Your SEO-optimized webpage, events calendar, access to our private group and newsletter features

It’s authentic content and real visibility—starting at just $400/month.
