Why list your business?

A new place to be found on the web and improve your SEO.

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. If you have multiple businesses, you can list them under a single login.
