Once you create an account you will have the following options:

We offer Basic Listings or Standard Listings which allow more content to be uploaded.

If you do not want to create an account you can also email us about a Managed Listing - this is where we create the Listing for you and maintain it.

No.

We no longer offer Free Listings as the administrative costs were so great that it was no longer possible.

We offer human moderated and enhanced, spam free Australian business listings.

Your Basic Listing ($39.00 incl GST once off payment, no annual fee) will appear live on our website within 24 hours and includes:

• Business Name,
• Address,
• Phone Number and
• Website URL

This is a great NAP citation.

This is an example of a Basic Listing:

Example Free Listing

• Business Name,
• Address,
• Phone Number and
• Website URL

And more:

• Unlimited branches and their contact details (if you have more than one location);
• Unlimited pages and custom content to improve your search rankings;
• Unlimited image / video (youtube / vimeo) galleries;
• High quality home page image / video slider;
• Unlimited blog articles to write about your products or services;
• Social links and shares;

Paid Standard Listing Example

Sponsored Standard Listings

Businesses that purchase a Standard ($49.00 includes GST, Once Off Inclusion Fee) Listing also have the option of adding "Sponsorship" on top for a small fee. The exact fee depends on business category, location and whether other similar businesses in your location have already secured Sponsorship.

We operate on a first come, first served basis so that if you are the first business to pay for Sponsorship you will be locked into position number 1 on search results always - provided of course you renew your annual listing fee.

Sponsored Listings have all the features of Standard Listings but also appear on the top of search results and featured at the top of our Latest Listings page.

Managed Listing ($99.00 includes GST, once off, no annual fee)

The Managed Listing is ideal for businesses that don’t want to create and maintain another account and who are time poor.

This includes EVERYTHING the Standard Listing has with the main difference being that we will create and maintain the business listing for you.

All you have to do is decide what pages from the following you want on your listing and EMAIL us the content and any logos and images you want displayed.

The standard pages are:

• · Home
• · About Us
• · Our Services
• · Contact Us
• · Blog
• · Gallery

However, the names of these pages can be customized, e.g. you may change “Our Services” to the name of your Product or Service. For Example, you could change “Our Services” to “Pest Control Melbourne”.

Another benefit of a Managed Listing is that anytime there is a change in your business details such as an address change or a new phone number, you can simply email us the incorrect information, and we will update the listing for you.

The Managed Listing also includes us publishing one Blog Article (appears on your Listing page) per month. You just need to email us as a Google Word doc the article and we will publish it for you. Within 24 hours we will also submit the article page for Google indexing.

A listing for your business may have been created by a Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) company previously hired by your business or by a former employee or owner or legacy information from publicly available databases.

In any case if it contains incorrect or out of date information such as address or phone number changes then it is important to update it.

If there is a "Claim Listing" button visible on your Listing (see picture) then you can click it and go through the claim process.

Otherwise if there is no "Claim Listing" button visible if you created the listing but have forgotten your password to login to your account there is a "Forgotten Password" recovery option (see below pictures).

Failing the above two options, if you can prove you are the business owner, for example if your email address has the same domain name as the business website, then you can email us to delete the listing. Then you can create a new listing with the current information.

For previously created legacy Free listings we do not offer any free support to amend listing details. We only offer support if you have purchased a Standard Listing.
