Add an image and your logo and you will have a page in minutes. Then add links to your website and social media to drive traffic to your business. Here are some example pages. For a limited period, we will create your page for you – send your web and/or social media addresses and we will set that up ready for you to publish.
Even if you have just started taking small steps and you do anything on the list below, get on the directory and get seen.
If you have multiple businesses, you can list them under a single login. If your venue has a named Cafe, Restaurant or Bar you can list it under that category - similarly if you have Tourism services such as scuba diving.
