Missing or mismatched directory listings quietly hurt your local visibility. Get Found writes your listing copy from your real Google reviews, keeps your details consistent, and walks you through the directories that actually matter.
Part of Pro (£9/month) · 30-day free trial · No card required
When someone searches for a business like yours, search engines do not just look at your website. They cross-reference your name, address and phone number across the directories you are listed in. When those details agree everywhere, it signals a real, active business. When they conflict — an old address on Yell, a missing phone number on Bing — the signal weakens, and so does your visibility.
The problem is not that listing your business is hard. It is that it is tedious: ten directories, ten forms, and a description to write each time. Get Found removes the tedium so the job actually gets done.
Get Found builds your listing pack
Using your real Google data, it writes a tagline, a short description (under 160 characters) and a longer ~120-word description drawn from what your actual customers say in reviews. Your name, address, phone and website sit alongside, each with copy-to-clipboard.
Work through the directory checklist
Each directory has a deep link straight to its add-your-business page, plus field tips — what to have ready, which upsells to ignore, and the fastest route through each form.
Track your progress
Mark each directory as not started, submitted or live. Directories often take a few days to approve listings, so the checklist remembers where you got to.
Six global directories for every business, plus four UK directories that are automatically hidden if your business is elsewhere.
Google Business Profile
GlobalThe most important listing. You may already have this if you connected your reviews. Verify by postcard, phone or video. Keep name, address and phone identical to your website.
Bing Places
GlobalFastest route: sign in and import your Google Business Profile instead of typing everything again. Powers Bing and Windows search results.
Apple Business Connect
GlobalPuts you on Apple Maps and Siri. Needs an Apple ID. Upload a square logo and cover photo for the best-looking place card.
Facebook Business Page
GlobalCreate a Page (not a personal profile). Fill in the About section with your short description, add your website link and opening hours.
Yelp
GlobalSearch for your business first — it may already exist and just needs claiming. Ignore the ad upsell calls; the free listing is what matters.
Yell
UKThe UK’s biggest directory. The free listing is enough — you don’t need the paid packages. Use your long description here.
Thomson Local
UKLong-running UK directory. Look for the free "add your business" option. Consistent NAP details matter more than a fancy profile.
FreeIndex
UKFree UK directory with decent search visibility. Supports customer reviews — worth pointing a few happy customers here too.
Checkatrade
UK · TradesFor trades only (builders, plumbers, electricians, roofers…). Paid membership with vetting — expect to provide insurance and ID documents.
Trustpilot
GlobalClaim the free business account. Best for service and online businesses; reviews here often rank on Google for "[your name] reviews".
There is also a slot for your own industry directory — a trade body, chamber of commerce, or niche review site.
Get Found does not submit listings on your behalf. Some services offer auto-submission, and if that is what you want, tools like Yext or BrightLocal do it as their core business. We chose not to — on purpose.
It prepares everything and tracks your progress; the submitting stays in your hands. Most owners get through the priority directories in an afternoon.
Get Found is part of the WeWidget Pro plan (£9/month), alongside all nine widget layouts, branding removal, analytics and the live colour customiser. Every trial includes it: 30 days free, no card required. If you decide not to subscribe, your account simply pauses.
