I tried searching for a local place, and all I got for the first two pages are instagram and facebook pages. It wasn't until the third page I got past all that crap to get to the actual website for the location. I even tried search "PlaceName City Website" and still got all that crap instead.

Is there any way to block it on my personal searxng instance? Sorry if it's obvious.

There's a hostname replace plugin that can do this. You can use it to replace hostnames or just remove them from the results altogether.

Take a look at https://github.com/searxng/searxng/blob/master/searx/settings.yml#L231
