How to register your business

Help customers find your business, explore your services and get in touch. Follow these steps on your phone, tablet or computer to create your account and submit a directory listing.

Already have an account? Log in and go straight to choosing your package. Creating an account is separate from publishing your business listing.

Using a mobile or tablet

Use the buttons in this guide to open each page directly. If you use the site navigation, tap the menu icon with three horizontal lines to expand it. Scroll down to see the full form and the buttons at the bottom.

Tap an upload control to select your logo or photographs from your device. Wait for uploads to finish before previewing or submitting. Keep this guide open in a separate tab so you can return to it without losing your form.

Using a desktop or laptop

Use the Register, Log in and Add Your Business links near the top of the site, or the direct buttons in this guide.

You can select image files from your computer or drag them into the upload area. Use the Tab key to move between fields, and check the whole form before submitting.

  1. Create your account

    Open Register. Enter a username, your email address, a password and the same password again in Confirm Password. Then select Create Account.

    Follow the confirmation shown on the page and any account instructions sent by email. If you already have an account, use it rather than registering again.

  2. Log in and choose a package

    Open Log in, enter your username or email address and your password, then select Log in.

    Compare Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond and select the package that suits your business. Each package supports one business listing, with different limits for photographs, categories and description length. The package buttons take you to the listing form with your choice selected. If you are asked to log in first, return to the package page afterwards and select your choice again.

    Weekly subscription: Bronze starts at £2.99 plus VAT per week (£3.59 including VAT). The four new packages renew automatically every week until cancelled. Check the VAT-inclusive total and billing frequency before paying.

  3. Add your business details

    Check the selected Package at the top of the form. Enter your Business Name and Place Description. Explain what you offer, who you help and what makes your business useful to customers.

    • Choose relevant categories, within your package allowance, and select a default category if requested.
    • Add a few accurate search tags using the format shown beside the field.
    • Enter your address, country, region, town or city and postcode. Check that the map marker shows the correct location.
    • Add your phone, business email, website and opening hours. Start website and social links with https://.

    Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required. Fields such as social links, offers and video depend on your package. Do not change automatically managed fields such as an expiry date unless our team asks you to.

  4. Upload your logo and photographs

    Use the image upload area to choose your files. Add your logo and photographs that clearly show your products, services, premises or work. Stay within the photo limit shown on the form.

    Wait until each upload has finished. You can drag the uploaded images to change their order. If a file will not upload, check the accepted file types shown on the form and try a JPG or PNG copy.

  5. Preview, submit and pay

    Select Preview Listing to check how your business information appears. Check spelling, contact details, map location, images and links. Return to the form to make any corrections, then select Submit Listing.

    Follow the payment instructions for your chosen paid package. Check the package name, total including VAT and weekly renewal details, enter your billing and card details, read the terms and complete payment. Wait for the confirmation before closing the page.

    Account created, listing submitted and payment completed are different stages. Your business listing still needs our team's review before it appears publicly in the directory.

  6. After you submit

    We review your listing before publishing it. Keep an eye on your email, including junk or spam, for updates or requests for information. Payment does not mean your listing is instantly live.

    Once published, check your business page and keep its details up to date. Log in with the same account to manage your listing. If you cannot find the edit option, or need help changing or cancelling a package, contact our team. Cancelling a weekly subscription stops future renewals; paid features end when the paid period finishes.

Common questions

I have forgotten my password

Open Log in and select Forgot password?. Follow the reset instructions and check your junk or spam folder if the email does not arrive.

I cannot see all the fields on my phone

Scroll down the page and close your on-screen keyboard if it covers the buttons. The available fields depend on your selected package. Use the direct links in this guide if the navigation menu is hard to find.

My form will not submit

Look for a highlighted field or an error message. Complete every required field, choose a category and wait for image uploads to finish. Check that your links start with https:// and that you have not exceeded your package limits.

Payment failed or I did not see a confirmation

Check your email and payment status before trying again. If you may already have been charged, contact us so we can check first. Include the business name and any on-screen error message, but do not send card details.

I have paid but cannot find my business in the directory

New listings need review before publication. Check your emails for updates and contact us if you need help checking your listing's status. Please do not submit another listing or pay again to resolve this.

Can I change my package later?

Contact us about moving to another package or managing an existing subscription. Existing customers may have a different billing arrangement; check your current subscription before changing it.
