Free to list
A business can have a name, address, phone and website without paying. Claiming a listing is a request, not an automatic upsell.
Devon to Gloucestershire
The South West, listed honestly.
A directory for Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, Bristol, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. Search by business, category and town. Sponsored slots are marked. Rankings you can read are rankings you can trust.
Paid places are labelled
Featured is a badge and a rail. Sponsored is a slot above the unpaid results. The word is on the listing, not in a tooltip.
The unpaid order stays put
Money does not move a listing up or down the unpaid list. Completeness and match do. The rules are public.
The seven areas
Each hub explains the place before it lists anyone. Towns are not doorway pages with the name swapped. Bristol is a city and a unitary authority, listed as its own hub.
Ceremonial county
Cornwall
A peninsula with one main road and towns that are not substitutes for each other.
Ceremonial county
Devon
The largest of the seven areas in this directory: two cities, two coasts, and a long list of market towns that do not share one high street.
Ceremonial county
Somerset
County town, a World Heritage city, a manufacturing town, and a Bristol Channel resort. Grouped here so a Somerset search still finds Bath and Weston.
Ceremonial county
Dorset
A rural county with one large coastal conurbation. Bournemouth and Poole are listed apart because the harbour splits the way people move.
Unitary authority
Bristol
A city and a unitary authority. It has its own hub so it is not filed under Somerset or Gloucestershire.
Ceremonial county
Wiltshire
Salisbury and Swindon are both in Wiltshire and are not the same economy.
Ceremonial county
Gloucestershire
Cheltenham and Gloucester are neighbours. They still deserve different pages.
How a results page is built
- 1. Sponsored. The Town Hero slot, labelled Sponsored, alphabetical. Missing when the page has none.
- 2. Featured. A paid badge and rail. The same listing still appears in the unpaid list.
- 3. Unpaid order. Match, then how complete the profile is. Payment is not consulted.
Examples, not a market
The businesses you can open today are fictional. Each one is marked Example. They exist so the rails, labels and unpaid order can be seen before real listings are claimed. They are not recommendations, and they have no reviews.
Pages that only contain those examples, or no listings at all, stay out of search indexes until a genuine listing is published.
