What makes a useful business listing?

A checklist of the business details that help people understand an offering and take the next step.

01

Use the real business name

Choose the name customers recognise. Avoid adding repeated location or service keywords that make the name confusing.

02

Choose the closest category

A relevant category helps people understand what the business does and helps directory navigation stay useful.

03

Write for customers first

Explain the main products or services, who they are for and what makes the offering clear. Specific, honest information is more useful than generic superlatives.

04

Keep location and contact details current

Check address, service area, phone, website and other contact details before submitting. Only share contact details intended for public business use.

05

Use genuine images and update changes

Use images you own or have permission to publish. Update important changes such as a move, new services or changed contact details.

TAKE THE NEXT STEP

Turn useful information into a local discovery.
