Directory Categories, Groups and Specialisations

The Directory is organised into categories, service groups, specialisations and skills so people can find the exact service they need.

In a nutshell

Choose a main category, narrow to a service group and specialisation, then add any extra skills. The taxonomy drives where your listing appears.

Categories

A category is the top-level grouping for a broad area of work, for example Property & Real Estate, Builders & Trades, or Interior & Design. Browse all categories from the categories hub.

Service groups

Within each category, a service group narrows the field. For example, under Property & Real Estate you might find groups such as Agency, Valuation or Property Management.

Specialisations

A specialisation is a more specific service within a group, such as Property Agency or Land Surveying. Choosing a precise specialisation helps the right clients find you.

Skills

Skills are additional services you offer that may sit across groups. They let you appear in more searches without changing your main category.

How to choose the right category

Pick the category and specialisation that best describes your main service. You can add skills to cover related work. If you serve multiple areas, list the parishes and towns you actually cover rather than selecting islandwide unless you genuinely work islandwide.

See How to create your directory listing for where these choices appear in the submission, and Tips for a great directory listing for making your entry easy to find.
