Where to list your business in Greenwich: directories and local promotion

Create a clear Greenwich business listing with useful service details, accurate coverage and a complete business image.

Make the listing useful to a customer

The Greenwich Directory gives local businesses and community organisations a place to explain what they do. Search for your trading name first, then update an existing entry or submit a free Standard listing. Avoid creating a second entry when the original only needs a correction.

Choose the category and service tags that describe your main work. Add a working phone, website and a description that explains what a customer can actually ask you to do. Use your complete logo or a clear premises photograph, with enough space around the image to keep it recognisable.

Describe your real location and coverage

A Royal Hill shop, a Charlton workshop and a mobile service covering Greenwich need different location details. Show your actual base and explain whether customers can visit, book an appointment or arrange a call-out. Do not present an area you serve as a staffed office.

Keep the business name, phone and address consistent with your own website and other profiles. Eligible businesses can also use Google Business Profile under its rules. A directory provides another route for customers to find information, but cannot promise search rankings or a particular number of enquiries.

Use relevant local routes and keep details current

Explore Royal Greenwich Council's current business information for support that fits your circumstances. Market traders can use Greenwich Market's own information to understand its trading opportunities and requirements. Being listed in a directory is separate from becoming an approved market trader or receiving council support.

Review your entry when your services, address or phone change. The owner contact email stays private unless you choose public display. Use the listing's update options or contact the directory if an existing entry needs help, so customers reach the right business and location.
