# It's Buzzing (itsbuzzing.com)
> Community-powered growth platform for local businesses, creators, and faith communities. Referrals, reviews, AI discoverability, ambassador programs, live maps, and DFY growth services — all in one platform.

## What Is It's Buzzing?
It's Buzzing transforms traditional word-of-mouth into a scalable, trackable growth system. Local businesses recruit customers and community members as "Brand Ambassadors" who earn commissions only when their referrals convert — pay for performance, not impressions. The platform also builds AI-ready reputation profiles so businesses show up when customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI who to call.

Founded in Birmingham, Alabama. Serving local businesses across the United States.
