Our Origin
Surflocal.net began in 1996 as Colonial-ad.com with one mission — help local businesses get found and grow. As the internet evolved, we became Surflocal.net to bring modern marketing tools to every Main Street business in America.
From the early days of online coupons to integrated video and QR workflows, we’ve focused on simplicity, speed, and results. If you can describe your offer, we can publish it — beautifully — and get it in front of customers.
Over the years, we’ve watched the marketing world shift from printed flyers and word-of-mouth to a fast-paced digital marketplace. Our approach has always been to adapt early, giving small businesses access to the same cutting-edge tools once reserved for large corporations.
Today, we serve as a trusted partner to businesses across the country, delivering professional-grade marketing without the high costs or steep learning curves. We believe every local business deserves to look world-class online, no matter its size or location.
