We're Building the Future
Where local businesses thrive through curated experiences and AI-powered discovery that puts community at the heart of exploration.
Transforming Local Discovery
We're revolutionizing how people discover local businesses—from search-based to exploration-based experiences that connect communities through authentic adventures.
Experience-Focused
We create curated local adventures that showcase businesses as part of authentic community experiences, not just individual listings.
AI-Powered
First platform to offer comprehensive AI search optimization, preparing businesses for the future of discovery and visibility.
Community-Driven
Local curators and community experts create authentic recommendations that build trust and showcase the real character of neighborhoods.
Born from a Simple Observation
bagofbagels emerged from a frustrating reality: local business discovery was fundamentally broken. Traditional directories focused on individual listings, search engines favored chains over local gems, and no one was preparing for the AI-powered future of search.
We saw an opportunity to do something revolutionary. Instead of just listing businesses, we would create curated experiences. Instead of relying on algorithms, we would empower local community experts. Instead of ignoring the AI revolution, we would lead it.
The name "bagofbagels" represents our core philosophy: just as a bag of bagels contains variety and complementary flavors, our platform creates collections of local businesses that work together to create memorable experiences.
