About Local Black Hills

Built by Locals. Focused on Community.

Since 2002, Local Black Hills has been dedicated to helping local businesses connect with the people who matter most—their neighbors, visitors, and the communities they serve. What started as a family-owned publishing company producing local phone directories has grown into a trusted media and marketing company serving businesses across the Black Hills.

As technology has changed, so have we. We’ve expanded our products and services to meet the needs of local businesses while staying true to the same mission we’ve had from the beginning: helping local businesses thrive.

Today, Local Black Hills is still proudly family-owned and operated by Amber Flint and her mother, Linda Holtz, along with long-time employees and family members who have become part of the Local Black Hills family. In fact, many of our team members have been with us for more than 20 years, and many of our clients have trusted us for just as long.

We believe relationships matter. Our customers aren’t just accounts—they’re friends, neighbors, and business owners we’ve watched grow, celebrate milestones, and become part of the fabric of our community.

As lifelong Black Hills residents, we have a genuine passion for this place we call home. We love sharing the beauty of the Black Hills, highlighting the people who make our communities special, and helping residents and visitors discover great local businesses, events, trails, restaurants, and experiences.

Whether through our magazines, visitor guides, websites, business directory, social media, digital marketing, or local visibility services, everything we do is centered around one goal:

Helping local businesses be seen, trusted, and chosen.

To provide the best solutions possible, we also work alongside a team of trusted local marketing professionals, allowing us to offer everything from print advertising and websites to SEO, social media, AI visibility, Google Business Profile optimization, and more—all with local expertise and a commitment to helping Black Hills businesses succeed.

After more than two decades, we’re still passionate about supporting the businesses and communities that make the Black Hills such an incredible place to live, work, and visit.

Explore Local. Discover Community.

Owners, Amber Flint and Linda Holtz
