    Shop Local - Template

    Prompt:
    “For [TOWN] (NZ), research the best Shop Local businesses — visitor-relevant, independent retail only.

    This category includes:

    • Boutiques, gift stores, makers, homewares

    • Local grocers, delis, butchers, specialty food shops

    • Local producers and vendors (especially from the town’s main farmers market page)

    Shopify Priority Rule (strict)

    First, identify businesses in [TOWN] that have a verified Shopify store.

    A store is only Shopify: Verified if the website clearly shows one of:

    • “Powered by Shopify” in the footer

    • Shopify checkout pattern

    • myshopify.com domain

    If not proven, label as:

    • Ecommerce: Yes (platform unverified)
      or

    • No ecommerce found

    Market + Vendor Rule (important)

    If the town’s retail strength comes mainly from markets/vendors, then:

    1. List the market(s) first (official page link)

    2. Then list the best vendors from that market

    3. Vendor links must be their own official site or official vendor listing page

    4. Do not guess vendor websites or socials

    Output Requirements

    Provide 10–20 max, quality over padding.
    If fewer qualify, say: “Only X met the standard.”

    For each entry, provide exactly:

    • Name:

    • Company: (if different; otherwise repeat)

    • Phone/Mobile: (only if publicly listed)

    • Email: (only if publicly listed)

    • Webpage: (official site or primary presence)

    • Facebook: (official link only)

    • Instagram: (official link only)

    • TikTok: (official link only)

    • Ecommerce: Shopify Verified / Platform Unverified / None

    • Town: Verified

    Rules (must follow)

    • Town-pure only — no nearby towns

    • No chains, supermarkets, or franchises

    • No guessing emails or socials

    • No copied text

    • Avoid stale or abandoned pages

    • Do not pad with weak entries

    • Vendors must be clearly linked to the market or town

    Ordering

    Output in this order:

    1. Shopify Verified local shops

    2. Ecommerce (platform unverified) local shops

    3. Market(s) + top vendors

    4. Strong offline-only boutiques worth listing

    Format as a clean list, one business per block.”
