Tips for a Great Directory Listing

A clear, complete listing helps the right people find you and decide to get in touch.

In a nutshell

Write a clear description, choose the right category and specialisation, add photos on Enhanced, keep your service areas and contact details current, and be accurate.

Write a clear description

Describe what you offer, who you help and what makes your service reliable. Aim for a few short paragraphs. Avoid claims you cannot stand behind, such as guarantees of results.

Choose the right category and specialisation

Pick the category and specialisation that best matches your main service, then add skills for related work. A precise choice helps you appear in the right searches. See Directory Categories, Groups and Specialisations.

Add photos

On an Enhanced listing, a logo and photos help clients recognise and trust your business. Use clear, well-lit images of your work or premises. See How to upgrade to an Enhanced listing to unlock photos.

Keep service areas current

List the parishes and towns you genuinely serve. If you expand or stop working in an area, update your listing. Accurate service areas keep you in the right parish and town searches.

Keep contact details current

If you show a public email or telephone, make sure it is monitored. Missed enquiries are missed work.

Be accurate and honest

Your listing is your responsibility. Keep it truthful and up to date. A listing does not amount to an endorsement or a licence check, and submission does not guarantee approval or ranking. See Trust & Verification for what verification does and does not mean.
