Indiana Owned champions locally owned businesses to create stronger communities and increase employment in Indiana. The platform serves as a comprehensive digital marketplace and online community connecting consumers with local businesses.
Membership in Indiana Owned provides businesses with increased visibility, community engagement opportunities, and access to resources and other business owners that support economic growth and local entrepreneurship.
Membership is open to businesses that are independently owned and operated within Indiana, headquartered here, and not part of an out-of-state chain. This includes both brick-and-mortar establishments and online businesses committed to contributing to the local economy and community. If you own a business that meets these criteria, you are eligible to join Indiana Owned and take advantage of the networking, visibility, and growth opportunities we offer.
Indiana Owned offers three membership plans: Basic, Premium, and Featured. The Basic plan includes a single directory listing with essential business details, while the Premium plan adds features including a lead form, video content, and FAQs. The Featured plan offers top visibility and boosted listings. Any other services are offered to all members at a la carte prices. Each plan is designed to enhance local visibility and community engagement for businesses at different levels of investment. You can view more details and choose a plan that suits your business needs on our pricing plan page.
Each location of your business requires its own listing to ensure accurate directory information and targeted local visibility. This means if you own multiple business locations, you should purchase a separate listing for each one. This approach helps tailor the information to each specific location, enhancing the effectiveness of your local marketing efforts.
A listing can be a product, place, or service provider.
