We are a UK business directory
For business owners the process of marketing your business can seem never ending. It makes sense to have your business listed in as many locations as possible. At UK Locate we have tried to make the process as simple as possible. All you need is a UK Locate account and you can add your business for free.
We do offer an express listing service where your listing will be reviewed by an editor within 24 hours although this is not required. All listings are reviewed through time. Express listings are however useful when you need to be listed fast (within 24 hours).
What does your listing include?
Free listings and express listings are exactly the same, so the content options displayed on your listing page will not vary. This will include your company name, company details, address, phone number, website and social media links. We currently support Facebook and X for social media links, although we will be adding more in the future.
We also display a map on your listing page to highlight your location.
When you create a listing you are also able to accept user reviews. Users can rate your company and provide text based reviews. All reviews are moderated by UK Locate to ensure they are fair and genuine.
What is the process for adding a listing?
It is very simple to add your listing. All you need to get started is an account on our website. Once you register or login you can then fill out our listing form. This is quick and simple. Once you have done this you will have the option of paying for an express listing.
The review process
Once you have submitted your listing request it will be placed in our review queue. We work through this list of suggested listings in the order they are received.
When we review your listing we will look review it for the following…
- Is this a UK business. I not it will not be approved
- Is the business using its correct name. Business names are important. Any listing that uses something other than their company name will be removed. Examples include using keywords instead of the company name to get attractive link text
- Are all details provided? We want your listing to be useful to a searcher. Missing or incomplete details do not provide a good user experience.
- Safe and legal business type. We will not list any business that could be considered dangerous or illegal within the UK.
- Correct contact details. We do not check the address or contact information before listing a business, but we will remove any listing that is later found to provide incorrect contact details including address or phone number.
We accept that some smaller businesses may not want to provide their postal address online. In this case it is acceptable to specify “Private Address” and only provide the first part of your postcode. All businesses must have a telephone number. This can be a mobile phone number.
We are not overly strict about our listing requirements. All we do is try and ensure we provide accurate information for any new business listings we accept.
