A page that machines can actually read

This sounds like a technical detail. It’s the main reason a listing here is worth more than a listing somewhere busier.

Most directory pages are assembled in the visitor’s browser. The page arrives nearly empty and JavaScript fills in the business details a moment later. People don’t notice, because their browser runs the JavaScript.

The crawlers behind AI assistants don’t. ChatGPT’s, Claude’s, Perplexity’s and Google’s AI crawlers read what the page sends and nothing more — so on a site built that way, they see a shell where your phone number should be.

Your listing here is built the other way round. Everything — your description, hours, address, phone, categories — is in the page the moment it arrives, with structured data describing what each piece means. Nothing waits on a script.

That isn’t a promise that AI assistants will recommend you. Nobody can promise that, and anyone who does is selling something. It means your listing is legible to them, which is the part we can control.

Yours, and it stays yours

Most places your business appears online were written by someone else, scraped from somewhere else, or both.

You write it

Your description is yours, in your own words. Not a template, not generated from your category, not assembled from whatever a scraper found in 2019.

You change it

Move premises, change your hours, drop a service line — update it from your dashboard and it’s live straight away. No emailing anyone, no waiting.

It doesn’t move

Your listing keeps the same web address for as long as it exists. Anything you link to it from — your site, your Google profile, an email signature — keeps working.

You can print it

Download a QR code for your listing and put it on a counter card, a van, a business card. Every plan, including the free one.

Every new listing is read by a person

We read every new listing before it goes live, usually within two business days.

That’s slower than the sites that publish anything instantly, and it’s the point. Directories full of scraped entries, closed businesses and dead phone numbers are worth nothing to the person searching, which makes them worth nothing to you either.

Being in a shorter list that someone maintained is worth more than being one of millions nobody checks.

You don’t have to publish your address

If you work from home or travel to your customers, you can be listed without a street address. Tell us the areas you serve and that’s what appears — no address on the page, on the map, or in the page’s underlying data. Most directories make this all-or-nothing.

What we don’t promise

Worth being crystal clear, because plenty of directories say the opposite.

We don’t promise rankings

A listing here won’t make you rank on Google. Links from business directories carry very little weight, and outbound links on this site are marked sponsored — because pretending otherwise is the kind of thing that gets an entire domain penalised, ours and by extension yours.

We don’t promise AI will recommend you

We build your page so AI assistants can read it. Whether they cite it depends on them, not us. Anyone selling you guaranteed AI visibility is guessing.

We don’t promise a flood of customers

This is a young directory and we’re not going to invent traffic figures. What a listing gives you today is a solid, permanent, findable page and a place in a list that’s actually maintained. If that’s not worth $99 a year to you yet, the free listing is genuinely free and it’ll still be here when it is.
