Loved By Local Publishers
LocalCMS has been a total game-changer for Adelaide Hills Pantry, my local newsletter in Adelaide, Australia. The events scraping automation is amazing - I've got hundreds of events being scraped each week on autopilot for my site's events directory and newsletter. But what's really useful for me is the advertiser CRM. I was going crazy setting up a half baked Notion automation to keep track of advertiser contacts, but LocalCMS now lets me keep track of my entire advertiser pipeline *and* email them all in one place. Can't recommend it enough!

Before LocalCMS, I was struggling to get the newsletter out every week. It was just a huge pain compiling events and I was thinking about giving up on the newsletter. Since starting on LocalCMS, however, it's completely freed up our team to focus on higher level problems. The newsletter is basically automated, and we're now focused more on advertiser outreach and social media strategy. I love this software, it's worth every penny, and I recommend it to everyone in local media.
