About Downey Spotlight
Connecting Downey Businesses & Neighbors.
Downey Spotlight helps residents find trusted local businesses and helps those businesses reach the community they serve.
What We Do
Two Ways We Serve Downey.
Free Local Directory
Browse businesses and services throughout Downey, organized by category so finding local options is simple. Listings are free, and owners can claim an existing listing to update their hours, photos and details.
Browse Businesses →Community Advertising Postcard
A professionally designed community advertising postcard that brings local businesses together and delivers them to Downey mailboxes. Our advertising pages have the current mailing options.

Why Local
Communities Still Matter.
Local businesses are part of what gives a community its character. But connecting those businesses with the people around them has become increasingly spread out across search, social media, advertising platforms and countless other channels.
We believe local media works best when it’s built around the community itself, with useful places for people to find what’s nearby and practical ways for businesses to become part of the conversation.
