For business owners
New and small businesses are welcome. You do not need reviews, a limited company or a finished website. You need a phone number we can ring and an email address you read.
Your business on the page for your trade and town, alongside up to two other checked businesses.
Your phone number if you want it shown, a link to your website and a short description of what you do. No website yet? A social page is fine.
Pass our three checks and your listing shows a Verified badge, with a version you can add to your own website.
No trial and no renewal fee. We recheck every two years, so the badge keeps its meaning.
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.
What we check
A business gets a Verified badge only after it passes all three. Here is exactly what each one involves.
We look the business up online: its website, its public reviews, good and bad, and anything worrying. A new business with little online yet is fine.
We ring the business during working hours, at a time it will not expect, to check that it answers with its own name.
We email the address on the listing. The business opens the link and approves its listing, or asks us to remove it.

Why a short list
A directory of everyone is just another search page. We would rather show you a few businesses and tell you exactly what we checked.
The internet is full of reviews that were bought, swapped or written by the business itself, and it is hard to tell which are which. So we do not try to rank everyone. We set three simple checks, run them ourselves, and list usually up to three businesses per trade in each town.
The order on each page changes every day, and nobody can pay to move up it. We list local, independent firms rather than national chains, so you can speak to the person who runs the business.
For business owners
New and small businesses are welcome. You do not need years of trading history, a limited company or existing reviews. Pass our three checks and you can take one of the places for your trade in your town.
