About Find My Locals
Local advertising should work harder for your business.
Look at our advertising packages here
Advertising shouldn’t have to mean spending hundreds or thousands of pounds every month just to compete for attention.
It shouldn’t mean paying for every lead.
It shouldn’t mean handing over commission when you win a customer.
And it shouldn’t mean placing your business on a directory alongside hundreds of competitors and hoping someone notices you.
We thought there had to be a better way.
So we built Find My Locals.
A different approach to local business advertising, designed to give businesses an affordable way to build their online presence, target the towns they actually serve and give themselves more opportunities to be discovered online.
More Than a Business Directory
We’re building a local advertising platform for the modern search era.
Find My Locals isn’t simply a place to put your business name, telephone number and website.
When you advertise with us, we build your business presence around what you do, where you do it and the customers you want to reach.
Your Find My Locals listing is professionally structured and optimised around your business and services.
But we don’t stop there.
We can also build additional location-focused pages around the towns you choose.
So if you select multiple towns as part of your advertising package, we can create dedicated pages designed around your business and those individual locations.
For example, if your business serves:
Reading • Wokingham • Bracknell • Maidenhead
your online presence isn’t simply one generic page saying you cover Berkshire.
Instead, your Find My Locals presence can be supported by dedicated location content focused on the individual towns you have selected.
One business.
Multiple locations.
Multiple opportunities to be discovered.
Your Business. Your Services. Your Locations.
We believe local search should be genuinely local.
A customer isn’t always searching for:
“A plumber in Berkshire.”
They might be searching for:
“Plumber in Reading”
or
“Emergency plumber in Wokingham”
or
“Bathroom plumber near Bracknell”
That’s why we build your advertising presence around the specific locations and services that matter to your business.
Your Find My Locals listing is optimised around your business information, services and locations.
And the additional town pages we create can give those individual locations their own dedicated online presence.
It’s a much more focused approach to local advertising.
Six Businesses. One Category. One Town.
We deliberately limit the number of advertisers.
This is one of the biggest differences between Find My Locals and a traditional online directory.
Many directories simply keep adding businesses.
The more businesses they have, the more they can sell.
We don’t think that approach is particularly helpful to the businesses paying to advertise.
So we’ve done something different.
We limit each category to a maximum of 6 advertising businesses per town.
That means a town isn’t designed to become an endless list of competing companies.
If you’re one of the six advertising plumbers in a particular town, you’re not being placed into a list containing 50, 100 or 500 other paying plumbers.
We believe limited advertising positions create a more focused environment for businesses.
And importantly, it means your advertising position isn’t simply one of hundreds.
Advertising That Doesn’t Take a Percentage of Your Success
You win the customer. You keep the money.
We don’t believe you should have to pay us a percentage of every job you win.
That’s why Find My Locals doesn’t operate on a commission model.
You pay for your advertising package.
A customer finds your business and contacts you directly.
You deal with the customer.
You complete the work.
And the money you earn stays with your business.
No commission.
No percentage.
No pay-per-lead charge.
No middleman.
Built for Businesses of All Sizes
You don’t need a huge marketing department.
You don’t need an enormous advertising budget.
And you don’t need to be a multinational company.
Find My Locals is built for the businesses that make local communities work.
Sole traders.
Family businesses.
Start-ups.
Tradespeople.
Professional services.
Independent retailers.
Local specialists.
Established businesses.
If you serve customers locally, Find My Locals is designed to give you another affordable way to put your business in front of them.
Affordable Doesn’t Mean Basic
We believe small businesses deserve serious online exposure too.
Traditional digital advertising can become expensive very quickly.
You can spend money on:
-
Pay-per-click advertising
-
Social media advertising
-
SEO agencies
-
Lead-generation websites
-
Pay-per-lead services
-
Marketing retainers
-
Business directories
And the costs can keep growing.
Find My Locals takes a different approach.
We keep our advertising accessible.
Our packages start from £37.50 per quarter, giving businesses an affordable way to establish a presence on the platform without committing to a large monthly marketing budget.
And because our model isn’t based on commission, your advertising cost doesn’t increase every time you win work.
We Build Your Online Presence Around Your Locations
Because one generic page isn’t always enough.
If your business serves several towns, we want your online presence to reflect that.
That’s why, depending on your advertising package, we can create additional location-focused pages for the towns you select.
These pages are built around relevant information such as:
Your business
Your services
Your chosen town
The areas you cover
Relevant local search terms
How customers can contact you
This creates a more comprehensive local presence than simply listing your business once on a directory.
Your Find My Locals listing is optimised.
Your locations receive dedicated attention.
Your business gets more opportunities to be discovered.
Designed With Search Engines in Mind
Search is changing.
People still use traditional search engines, but the way they search is becoming increasingly conversational and location-focused.
They ask questions.
They search from their phones.
They search for businesses near specific towns.
They use maps.
They use voice search.
And increasingly, people are using AI-powered search tools to discover information and businesses.
That’s why we don’t want your business profile to be just a collection of contact details.
We build useful, structured information around your business.
Your services.
Your locations.
Your expertise.
Your business information.
Your contact details.
The areas you serve.
The towns you want to reach.
All brought together into a more complete online presence.
One Business Can Cover Multiple Towns
Your customers don’t stop at the town boundary.
A business may operate from one location but serve several surrounding towns.
That’s completely normal.
A roofer might cover 15 towns.
A driving instructor might cover an entire region.
A mobile beauty professional might travel across several areas.
A landscaping company might work across neighbouring communities.
Your advertising should be able to reflect that.
With Find My Locals, you can choose the towns that are commercially relevant to your business.
And where your package includes additional location pages, we can build dedicated pages around those locations.
More relevant locations.
More relevant content.
More opportunities to be found.
We’re Not Trying to Be the Biggest Directory
We’re trying to build something better for the businesses that use it.
We don’t need thousands of businesses in the same category in the same town.
We don’t want businesses paying to disappear into a massive list.
And we don’t believe advertising should be unnecessarily complicated.
We want Find My Locals to be focused.
Focused on local businesses.
Focused on individual towns.
Focused on relevant services.
Focused on search.
And focused on giving businesses an affordable way to build their online presence.
