Why local businesses choose barter

Traditional influencer marketing was built for big brands with big budgets. Promobeez was built for the coffee shop, the salon, the gym on your street.

Geo-verified audiences

We check where a creator's followers actually live — not just where the creator does. You see the local share before you commit.

Zero cash, 0% commission

The deal currency is your own product or service. Promobeez never takes a cut of your collaborations.

You're already at work

Serving a creator takes staff time you already spend on any guest — with no cash marketing invoice. You host someone who likely wouldn't have walked in; they bring friends, and often come back as a paying customer.

Engagement over follower count

Anonymous creator cards show reach, engagement rate and content tone — pure signal, so you pick by performance, not vanity numbers.

Live in minutes

Post a barter offer with your requirements, and matched local creators start applying — no briefs, contracts or agencies needed.

Every platform your customers scroll

Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and Threads — creators bring their audience wherever it lives.

Search by relevance, not vanity

Find creators who already talk about what you sell.

Follower count only shows reach. Promobeez finds creators by what they actually post about — including voices not yet on our platform — so the collaboration feels natural, not forced.

Content topics

Search by what creators post about — sport, food, beauty, parenting and more — not just their follower tier.

Local relevance

Combine topic filters with country and city signals so recommendations fit your neighbourhood, not just your niche.

Optional follower threshold

Set a minimum reach when it matters, but let content fit lead the shortlist for the most organic integration.

How it works

Three steps from an empty table on a Tuesday to local buzz.

Step 01

Post a barter offer

"Free dinner for two → 1 reel + 2 stories." Set what you give, what you want, and who you're looking for.

Step 02

Review matched creators

See anonymous cards with reach, engagement and audience geography of local creators who applied.

Step 03

Unlock & collaborate

Like a match? Unlock the contact and arrange the collab directly. The relationship is yours to keep.

Built from public signals

Not a media kit. An objective analysis.

Before you unlock a contact, you see a structured view of creator quality: engagement, local audience share, content profile, and commercial freshness. You decide by evidence, not by claims.

01

A score, not a follower count

Each creator gets a weighted score across engagement strength, audience quality and local relevance. A 972-follower profile with stronger signals can outrank a 50k account.

02

Know who can actually walk in

See city-level audience share and frequent location signals. If 90% of followers are in Helsinki, you know this creator drives real local visibility.

03

Every number has context

Engagement and posting frequency are shown against creator-size benchmarks, so you can distinguish healthy performance from inflated vanity metrics.

04

See the commercial history

Profile history shows whether the audience is already saturated with sponsored content. Fresh audiences can deliver stronger trust for local recommendations.

Analysis is generated from public content and platform signals. Scores are preliminary, and creator identity stays anonymous until you unlock the contact.

See the full profile first, then choose who to contact.

After the collab

See whether the post actually delivered.

Unlocking a contact is not the end. Promobeez watches the published post — engagement, tags, and whether it stays live — so you know the barter was honoured.

Engagement over time

Likes, comments and reposts are checked automatically and plotted from publish to now.

Collab check

Coauthors, tags, mentions and hashtags — so you can see the brief was followed.

Deletion alert

Get an email if the creator takes the post down.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

The campaign itself costs whatever your barter offer is worth to you — a pizza, a haircut, a gym pass. New businesses get 14 days of Growth free. After that: Free (1 offer total, 3 contact unlocks / month), Starter at €49/mo, or Growth at €89/mo. We never take a commission on deals.

How do I know the audience is really local?

Creator cards show audience geography based on follower data — the percentage of a creator's audience located in your city. That's the metric that matters for a local business, and it's front and centre.

What kind of creators are on Promobeez?

Nano and micro creators from 500 followers: food bloggers, lifestyle creators, fitness enthusiasts — people whose recommendations their neighbours actually trust. Small audiences, high engagement.

Does Promobeez manage the collaboration?

No — and that's by design. Promobeez is an introduction service: we match and connect you, then you agree on the details directly with the creator. No middlemen slowing things down or taking a cut.

What if a creator doesn't deliver?

You unlock contacts one at a time and start small, so the risk per collab is the cost of one pizza — not a media budget. Reputation signals in creator profiles help you pick reliable partners.
