Who can see your Neighbours Verified post

Posting is an effective way for Neighbours Verified organisations such as local councils, community organisations and public safety services to deliver messages and real-time announcements to their communities. You can share posts to specific neighbourhoods, service areas, or your entire jurisdiction.

Side by side comparison showing the difference between regional and specific location post.

When to use ‘Create Regional Post’

Connect with the right audience with ease using regional posts. Share information relevant to residents in specific areas, multiple regions, or your entire jurisdiction. This versatile tool is ideal for:

Delivering crucial safety updates:
Quickly disseminate essential information to larger targeted areas during emergencies or potential hazards.
Sharing community news:
Keep residents informed about important programmes, and initiatives happening in their specific neighbourhoods or regions.
Spreading awareness through Public Service Announcements:
Effectively target public service announcements to relevant audiences, maximising the impact of your message.

When to use ‘Post to a specific location’

When you post to a specific location, your message reaches Neighbours users whose subscribed area covers that exact spot you’re posting to. This versatile tool is ideal for:

Share local updates:
This option is ideal for important information like missing/found pets, localised events, avoid the area, and more.
Beyond boundaries:
Although targeted, your post is visible to Neighbour users who subscribed area covers the posting address, regardless if they live inside or outside the organisations jurisdiction.
