For local businesses · 2027 founding edition

Be the one they pick. One per category.

Oregon Top Picks lists one standout local business per category in each city. Claim yours and, for all of 2027, you hold the spot: on the city's Top 16 page, on your own profile and offer page, behind a badge people can check, and in about 5,000 mailboxes.

The idea

Not a directory of everyone. A short list worth keeping.

Big directories list every business and let the reviews sort it out. We do the opposite. Each city gets sixteen categories and one business in each, so the list is short enough to trust and worth pinning to the fridge.

i.

Sixteen, then it closes

Once a category is claimed in a city, it's off the table for the year. No second dentist, no rival realtor on the same page.

ii.

A whole year, not one drop

Members hold their category for all of 2027, online every day and in every shared mailer they join.

iii.

A badge you can check

Every badge has a QR code to a verified profile that shows why the business qualified. Scan it and the proof is right there.

What members get

One category. Four ways to be found.

01

A spot on the city's Top 16 page

Your business, your category, and why you made the list, live all year on oregontoppicks.com.

02

Your own landing page

A mobile page with your current offer and one clear next step: call, book or visit. We refresh it for every mailer.

03

The badge, with a QR to the proof

A digital badge for your website, Google profile, social posts and email. It says exactly what it means, and the QR code opens your verified profile.

04

A spot in the mailers

A tile on the shared 9 by 12 card mailed to about 5,000 homes, with a QR code that goes straight to your landing page so every scan is tracked.

Try it · pick a category

The badge reads in plain words, names the city and the year, and points to a profile anyone can check. When the year ends, so does the badge, unless you renew.

See it live

Three pages work for you. Here's each one.

Every member gets the same three pieces. The samples below use a fictional Lake Oswego bakery so you can click through what your customers will see.

How picks work

You can't just buy in. You have to qualify first.

Before a category is confirmed, we check the business against the same standard in every city. Each profile shows why the business qualified.

Strong public reviews

Consistently high ratings across the public reviews your customers already read.

Rooted in the city

An established business that serves this city's homes, not a call center two states away.

Licensed where required

Trades that need a license or certification have to show it.

A check by our team

We look at the business ourselves, then confirm. If it doesn't qualify, nothing is charged.

This is a membership, not an award.

Members pay to hold their category for the year, and only businesses that meet the standard can join. We say that plainly because a badge is only worth something if people can trust it.

The mailer

The biggest card in the stack. Sixteen names on it.

A heavy 9 by 12 card laid out like a city guide, not a coupon sheet. It goes to the homes we chose before we sold a single spot.

Cities

Starting with two. Built for every city worth it.

We only open a city once its routes are mapped and its 16 categories have strong local businesses to fill them.

Founding membership

One price for the year. Two mailers included.

Founding members lock the lowest rate we'll offer and the first right to renew. After Dec 4, the standard rate is $2,200.

Serve more than one city?

Lenders, brokerages, dental groups and remodelers often cover the whole metro. You can lock your category in several cities at once. Tell us when you claim.

Straight answers

Questions owners actually ask.

Is this an award?
No. Oregon Top Picks is a membership with a standard. Only businesses that meet it can join, and members pay to hold their category for the year. Every profile shows why the business qualified, so anyone who sees the badge can check it.
Can my competitor buy in?
Not in your city for 2027. There is one business per category. Once your category is claimed and paid, we don't sell it to anyone else for the year. That's our rule, and it's written into your membership.
How do you decide who qualifies?
We look at public ratings and reviews, how established the business is in the city, licensing where the trade requires it, and our own check. We don't have special access to review platforms and we don't claim to. We read the same public reviews your customers do.
Where does the mailer go?
About 5,000 homes per city per drop, on USPS Every Door Direct Mail carrier routes we choose ahead of time. In Lake Oswego we start with 97034, then 97035.
What if the mailer doesn't fill?
A city's card prints once at least four members have joined. If it doesn't get there, you choose a full refund or move to the January drop.
What happens at the end of 2027?
You get first right to renew for 2028. If you don't renew by the deadline, the category opens to the next business, and your badge and profile come down.
