From Canada to the U.S.: A Growing Dream

Saan Basha, the founder of Sonerg.com, has created something special. His platform, which began in Canada, helps people find great local businesses, connects brands with influencers, and shares honest reviews of the premier places to visit. After succeeding in several cities, he’s now bringing Sonerg to Spokane, Washington, Seattle, and Portland, Oregon.

For Basha, this isn’t just about growing his business—it’s about helping companies and creators form real connections. His team takes the time to research and share honest recommendations, from the premier restaurants to hidden gems in each city. While many platforms focus on ads or paid promotions, his goal is to build a trusted space where businesses, influencers, and customers can connect naturally.

A New Way to Support Local Businesses

Unlike other review websites that feature random ratings, Basha’s platform emphasizes thoughtful, well-researched articles that showcase what sets a place apart. His team collaborates with businesses and influencers to build connections that support mutual growth.

When a restaurant, shop, or service is featured on Sonerg, it’s because they truly stand out. Readers can feel confident that the recommendations are based on thorough research and personal experience, helping them discover businesses worth exploring.

This approach has already worked well in Canada, where many small businesses have gained recognition through the platform. Now, Basha is bringing the same idea to more U.S. cities, starting with Spokane, Seattle, and Portland.

Why Spokane, Seattle, and Portland?

Though Spokane, Seattle, and Portland are different cities, they all have something in common: fast-growing business scenes, creative communities, and vibrant local cultures.

  • Spokane, Washington is becoming a hotspot for innovation, with a growing tech scene and a strong local business community. As the city grows, so does the need for unique local experiences.
  • Seattle is a major tech hub, but it’s also known for its creative indie culture, filled with small businesses, cafés, and artistic ventures ready to shine.
  • Portland, Oregon has a reputation for its independent spirit and eco-friendly businesses. From craft breweries to sustainable brands, Portland’s unique vibe makes it a great fit for Sonerg’s mission.

By expanding into these cities, Basha hopes to help local businesses get the attention they deserve, build stronger connections, and reach new customers in a genuine way. Whether it’s a family-run café in Spokane, an indie bookstore in Seattle, or a craft market in Portland, Sonerg provides a platform for them to share their stories with an audience that appreciates what they offer.

As Sonerg.com continues to grow, there are more ways to connect and contribute to the community. If you’re a writer, influencer, or business owner, there are opportunities to get involved. Feel free to reach out through the contact page on the website for more information.

With Saan Basha at the helm, Sonerg’s expansion into Huntsville, Alabama, and Portland, Oregon, aims to bring people together, support local businesses, and showcase what each city has to offer. This is only the beginning of what’s ahead.
