Go on, now tell the world about yourself, but please, keep it clean, kids.

Don't be just a name without a face. Feel free to upload your photo in either jpeg or gif format (ideal photo size is 200x200 and square so you don't look stretched). Feeling a little camera-shy? ...No worries, we'll display an avatar that best matches your area of expertise so you don't have to remain completely faceless.

Why do I need to sign-up to become a ZipPerson?

ZipPeople are users who do more than just use ZipLocal for searching; ZipPeople review, rate and tag business listings. And now ZipPeople can vote for BestPicks.


What are ZipPeople benefits?

It's like having your very own 15 minutes of fame… ZipPeople can be featured with their profile on the ZipPeople page, and receive ZipPoints towards your ZipScore, for the content they create. ZipPeople are l'experts (local experts), and therefore are relied upon for their opinions about the businesses included in the ZipLocal business directory.


What is a Tag?

ZipPeople are encouraged to provide specific keywords or search terms that are most relevant to a business listing, making it easier for all ZipLocal users to find what they want. Like a tag of "thin crust" to a pizza listing. Or a tag of "glow-in-the-dark" to a bowling alley, or even "24 hours" to a walk in clinic.


What is my ZipScore?

The amount of ZipPoints accumulated to date by a ZipPerson for every new review, rating or tag completed.
