Quick answers

Is it free?

For locals, always. Businesses pay a small monthly subscription to post, and that keeps it free for everyone else.

How's this different from Facebook or Instagram?

It's only what's on in Paraparaumu, right now. No scrolling past ads, friends' photos and last week's posts: just local businesses' live shouts in one place, with the ones locals love at the top. For businesses, it works alongside their socials: a shout can reach locals who don't follow them yet, without paying to boost it.

Do I need an account?

Not to look around. To love, follow or save, make a free account with your email. You sign in with a code, so there's no password to remember.

Is it just deals?

Deals, sure. Also today's special, a spare table, live music tonight, new stock in, a job going. If it's on right now, it's a good shout.

How long are shouts up?

From a day up to two weeks. Each business has one live shout at a time, so what you see is what's on. Their past shouts stay on their page.

How do I get my business on?

Head to Goodshout for businesses. It takes about three minutes, and we check every business by hand before it goes live.
