For business owners
Add your business to the directory, free
Tell us about your business and we will check it by phone and email. If it passes and there is a place in your trade and town, your listing goes live with a Verified badge and a link to your website. You do not need reviews, a limited company or a finished website.
Your details
Your phone number, a link to your website and a short description of what you do.
A Verified badge
On your listing, plus a version you can add to your own website.
Free, and it stays free
No trial and no renewal fee. We recheck every two years.
What we cannot promise. We cannot guarantee enquiries, website traffic or a Google ranking. A checked listing helps customers trust you, and it works best alongside your own Google Business Profile.
It takes about two minutes. We then run three checks: we look you up online, ring the number you give us, and email you a link to approve your listing. No documents needed. If your trade and town already have three listings, we add you to the waiting list.
Found your business listed? Tell us which listing is yours and what you would like us to do. We will check that you run the business before we change anything. If we have emailed you a confirmation link, that is the quickest way: it lets you approve or remove your listing straight away.
Questions
Before you apply
Is it free to list my business?
Yes. A listing is free, and stays free for as long as your business passes our checks. There is no trial and no renewal fee. You do not need reviews, a limited company or a finished website.
What is a Featured listing?
An optional paid upgrade for businesses that are already listed and Verified. It lasts 12 months and does not renew automatically. Featured businesses can appear on our home page and browse page, and their listing can show photos, a longer description, services, opening hours and social links. Featured never buys a place, a Verified badge or a higher position on a trade and town page, and every Featured card is labelled.
Can a new business apply?
Yes, and we would like you to. You do not need years of trading history, a limited company, existing reviews or any documents. If there is not much about you online yet, that is fine. You will need a phone number we can ring and an email address you read.
My trade or town is not listed. Can I still apply?
Yes. Apply with your trade and town. If you pass our checks, we create the page and your business is the first on it.
Why do you ring us?
To confirm the number on your listing is answered by your business. We ring during working hours at a time you will not expect. All you need to do is answer. The call may be recorded and transcribed so that we have a record of the check.
Is a listing guaranteed?
No. Your business has to pass the checks, and there must be a place free in your trade and town. We list up to three businesses on each page. If the places are taken, we add you to the waiting list and tell you when one opens.
Will a listing bring me customers?
We cannot promise enquiries, website traffic or a Google ranking. A checked listing helps customers trust you, and it works best alongside your own Google Business Profile.
