City network registry and health
A shared registry connects the participating city websites and gives network staff a place to review their connection and health.
About the network
Independent cities. One coordinated network.
CityEngine brings complete local websites into one connected SurfLocal network. Content management, business owner workspaces, customer tools, and The Wire newspaper give each community a platform of its own.
The SurfLocal Network Operating System
Local relationships, with a wider view.
Each city platform combines a public local website with the tools behind it: page and media management, business information, offers, inquiries, and a newspaper edition. Local teams keep the information relevant to their community.
CityEngine connects shared business identities, market assignments, customer work, and publishing. Clear content and structured website information support search and AI discovery, while local teams retain responsibility for their own operation.
What the network brings together
Eight functions. One connected operating model.
Master business identity and market assignments
A master business identity connects a business with its assigned markets. The business relationship and the local destination remain distinct parts of the network.
Multi-market client access
One business, one login, one office, many markets. Clients have a central network relationship for work that spans participating cities.
Unified leads and bookings
Customer inquiries, quote requests, appointment requests, and follow-up connect people with the local businesses they want to reach.
Campaign orchestration
Offers and campaign material stay connected to the business and markets they serve. Publication follows the approval and destination settings for the work.
Media coordination
Page builders and media libraries help authorized users maintain business information, logos, images, and promotional content.
The Wire newspaper
The Wire is the network’s local newspaper system, with separate editor and publisher workspaces for stories, approvals, and selected city editions.
Network operations and audit
Network staff can review city connections, assignments, approvals, and operational records while local workspaces serve their own communities.
A connected city keeps its local identity.
Each city remains independently operable by its local operator. CityEngine handles network relationships and orchestration while the city retains responsibility for its local operation.
This structure supports shared business and client relationships without treating every city as one undifferentiated destination. Accurate local information, real service areas, and clear operating responsibilities remain part of the model.
