Built for businesses like yours.

WHAT NAVU DOES FOR YOU

Every feature was designed with one type of business in mind: the independently owned, community-rooted, worth-finding kind. No algorithms working against you. No franchise budgets drowning you out. Your listing, your customers, your community. Finally, a platform that’s actually on your side.

  • Build a profile that shows who you really are — your story, your photos, your hours, and what makes you different. Customers can follow your business and get notified the moment you post something new.

  • When you post an event on NAVU, two things happen at once. Every customer who follows your business gets a notification — bringing your regulars back through the door. And your event will appear on NAVU's dedicated Events tab, where people who have never heard of you are browsing what's happening nearby. One post, two audiences.

  • List a product on your profile and it will appear on NAVU's Products tab — a dedicated space where customers browse with intention. When they find something they want, they can purchase it directly through the app for pickup, or you can link them straight to your own website to complete the sale. You decide what works for how you do business.

  • Customers can leave feedback — but it stays between them, you, and NAVU. Honest input without public pressure.

  • Tag and link the local businesses you source from — the ranch your beef comes from, the bakery that makes your bread, the farm that grows your produce. Transparency builds trust with your customers, and your profile will appear on theirs, and theirs on yours — another way to be found.

  • Every person who opens NAVU downloaded an app specifically to find independently owned businesses. They chose to shop local before they ever saw your name. That is the audience NAVU puts your business in front of.

NAVU VISIBILITY STRUCTURE

The right customer finds you first.

Most discovery tools show the same recommendations to everyone. NAVU doesn’t. Every user’s discovery page is uniquely ranked based on how closely a business matches their personal preferences.

All businesses are listed. Shared attributes determine where you rank.

  1. User builds their profile

    They tell NAVU what they love – their preferences, shopping habits, and what matters to them in a business.

  2. Business builds their profile

    You describe your business – your offerings, attributes, and what makes you different from everyone else.

  3. NAVU matches them

    Businesses with the most shared attributes rank highest on that user’s discovery page. Every page is unique to a user, meaning no two users will have the same discovery page.
