BLOCK FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES

Be useful before
you advertise.

Block helps residents find trusted services around home. Businesses can serve buildings and neighborhoods without becoming fake “members” of those communities.

RESIDENT NEED“Can anyone recommend a reliable aircon service?”
LOCAL TRUSTNeighbors, approved providers and clear sponsorship.
USEFUL OUTCOMEA message, quote, booking or purchase close to home.

A BETTER LOCAL BUSINESS MODEL

Presence is only one way to earn attention.

Block is designed to distinguish genuine resident recommendations from paid promotion while giving useful local providers a clear commercial path.

01

AVAILABLE HERE

Be approved for the buildings or neighborhoods you actually serve, instead of buying a city-wide directory listing.

02

SPONSORED

Promote a useful offer or moment with clear sponsorship so paid placement never looks like an organic neighbor recommendation.

03

LEADS

Receive attributable enquiries from residents already looking for help nearby.

04

OUTCOMES

As Block commerce develops, pay for verified bookings or transactions rather than impressions alone.

SERVICE AREAS, NOT FAKE MEMBERSHIP

A business can be available in the places it actually serves.

A cleaner, piano teacher, caterer or home-care provider might serve Bukit Damansara, Bangsar and Mont Kiara. Residents still belong to buildings. Businesses belong to service areas.

RECOMMENDED

Recommended by a verified neighbor

Resident recommendations should remain valuable because they are transparent. If a future referral reward applies, Block should disclose it instead of disguising it as organic enthusiasm.

Example disclosure: “This neighbor may receive a reward if you book through Block.”

RECOMMENDATIONS ≠ ADS

Trust only works when the incentives are visible.

That distinction is central to Block’s commerce model: community creates discovery, transactions prove value, and businesses pay for measurable value without buying the appearance of resident trust.

CURRENT PILOT AREA

Bukit Damansara

Business onboarding is intentionally curated during the neighborhood pilot. The first goal is a small set of genuinely useful providers, not a large directory.
