Local Business Near Me is free for every business and nobody can pay to be listed higher. Here’s exactly how we decide what you see.
Our promise: no paid rankings, no “featured” spots for sale and no fees to list, claim or update a business. Every business gets the same features.
How listings are ordered
- Category and suburb pages show businesses in the order they joined the directory, longest-listed first.
- Searches show businesses that match what you typed and the suburb you chose.
- You’re in control. You can re-sort or filter results, for example by “Open now”, “Near me”, most viewed or by listing details like “Free quotes” or “Wheelchair access”.
What doesn’t affect the order
- Money. There’s nothing to buy.
- Whether a business works with us or with VisualWeb, the Melbourne agency that runs this directory.
- Whether a business is claimed. Claimed listings usually have more details and photos, but they don’t get a higher spot.
About the ads
To keep the directory free, some pages show Google ads. They’re clearly separate from the listings, they’re chosen by Google and they don’t change the order of businesses.
Where our listings come from
Many listings were added from publicly available business details so locals can find them. If it’s your business, you can claim it for free to update your details, or ask us to remove it. Use the buttons on your listing, or contact us.
Spot something wrong?
If a business has closed or its details are out of date, use “Report” on the listing or let us know and we’ll fix it.
