## What is Scouter?

Stop guessing from a star rating. Scouter shows you real video from the local businesses themselves, so you know what a place is actually like before you walk in.

DISCOVER, DON'T GUESS
Scroll a feed of short videos from real local businesses near you. Not stock photos, not a five-star average someone could have gamed, the actual place.

- Sorted by distance or by what fits your interests
- See if a place is open, closing soon, or closed before you head over
- Get directions with one tap
- Save your favorites and organize them into your own collections
- Search by name, or set a radius on a map and browse everything nearby

REAL BUSINESSES, NOT ADS
Every business on Scouter is reviewed before going live, so the feed stays real. Results aren't ranked by who paid for placement, they're ranked by distance and relevance to you.

FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
Get discovered by people scrolling for exactly what you offer, not buried under paid results from bigger competitors.

- Free to list your business
- Free to post video
- Track profile views, contact clicks, and video views
- Reach people actually nearby, right now

Scouter is built around one idea: you should be able to see a place before you decide it's worth the trip. No stars, no guessing, just real video from the people who actually run it.
