Today, we're thrilled to unveil what will be a new report in economic development and site...
Scout is your digital billboard. Your booth at an economic development and site selection conference. Your profile is free and it's live 24/7. Scout is a public platform connecting economic developers, site selectors, and industrial businesses. Your profile is also a place to leverage the Voice of Local Business in Attraction and Retention efforts.. Follow these simple steps to claim your city's profile and showcase its potential.
Step 1: Go to the Scout Platform
Visit the Scout platform, where cities and businesses connect for economic development opportunities.
Step 2: Find Your City
Search for your city's profile on Scout.
Step 3: Claim Your Listing
Click on "Claim Listing" to take control of your city's profile and its data.
Step 4: Provide Contact Information
Enter your contact details to verify your claim and establish authenticity.
Step 5: Log In to Update Your Page
Once your claim is accepted, you'll get an email with a link to edit your profile! Then you can use the Scout platform to update your city/state/edo page with the latest information.
Step 6: Encourage Reviews
Invite local businesses to leave reviews about their experiences in your city. These real-world insights add credibility to your profile and can be used to power attraction and retention efforts.
By claiming your profile and gathering authentic reviews from primary employers, you're taking charge of how your city attracts businesses and propels its growth. Additionally, reviews can be used to get a pulse on your city and identify retention/expansion opportunities.
Each year we'll aggregate reviews in States/Regions to produce reports such as Top Cities in Texas for Business, According to Employers. These reports are based solely on feedback from local business leaders.
