Community Champion
When you see this badge on a business's profile, it means they've gone beyond meeting our standards — they've chosen to invest back into Sioux Falls.
What it takes to earn it
Every business on Sioux Falls Go already meets our baseline: locally owned, a 4.8+ Google rating, and willing to give back. Community Champions go further — they invest directly in the platform and the community, which funds the spotlights, giveaways, and free knowledge base every resident uses.
What Champions get, and why it matters to you
Spotlights & Press Releases
We write and publish real features about Champion businesses — not paid ads, actual stories about what makes them worth recommending.
Live Google Reviews
Their rating and recent reviews stay current automatically, so you're seeing what customers are saying right now.
Bigger Community Investment
Champions fund larger giveaways and community initiatives beyond the standard two-per-year commitment every listed business makes.
Sponsor Local Guides
Champions can sponsor guides across the site — a clearly-labeled banner on the article, linking back to their profile, supporting the free local content every resident reads.
