Facebook vs Nextdoor
Facebook and NextDoor both serve hyperlocal marketing but with different audience patterns. Facebook reaches a broader demographic with extensive group infrastructure (local mom groups, neighborhood pages). NextDoor is more concentrated — verified addresses limit reach to actual neighbors — and Recommendations there carry significant trust weight ($4 per action vs Facebook's $4 Recommendation). Both permit incentivized content with disclosure.

Facebook is best for
- Businesses serving a wide local radius (5-15 miles)
- Brands with existing Facebook presence
- Event-driven local businesses (gyms, classes, workshops)
Nextdoor is best for
- Businesses serving a tight neighborhood radius (1-3 miles)
- Service businesses where word-of-mouth dominates (plumbers, electricians, dog walkers)
- Brands new to the neighborhood that need to establish trust
Bottom line
Both, weighted by your business radius. NextDoor punches above its weight for tight-radius services because trust is concentrated. Facebook works for everything else.
