How To Create Your Business Listing

Setting up your business profile on Biztown is quick, easy, and completely online. Your listing helps customers find and contact you, so the more complete your profile, the better your visibility in search results.

📝 Step 1: Go to the Add Listing Page

Head to our Add Your Business page. If you’re not logged in yet, you’ll be prompted to create a free account before submitting your listing.

⚙️ Step 2: General Information

This is where you introduce your business to the world.

Title: Your business name (e.g. Paul’s Painting Services).
Tagline: A short, catchy phrase that sums up what you do (e.g. Affordable, professional painting done right).
Description: Write a few paragraphs describing your business, your services, and what makes you unique.

Tip: Mention your location, experience, and what kind of clients you serve. This helps customers find you faster through search.

🖼️ Step 3: Upload Your Images

Visuals make your profile stand out.

Logo: Your business logo (max size 10 MB).
Cover Image: A wide image that represents your business — this appears at the top of your listing.
Gallery Images: Add photos of your work, products, or team.

Tip: High-quality images inspire trust and attract more engagement.

📞 Step 4: Add Contact Information

Make it easy for people to reach you. Enter your email, phone number, and (if you have one) your website.

🌐 Step 5: Add Social Media Links (Optional)

Add your Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok pages — this helps customers connect with your business online and see your latest updates.

🕒 Step 6: Set Your Work Hours

Specify your opening days and hours. You can mark days as Open all day, Closed all day, or By appointment only. You can also copy your schedule to other days for quick setup.

📍 Step 7: Add Your Location

Type in your address and use the built-in map to pin your location. This ensures customers can find you when searching locally.

Tip: If you operate online or cover multiple areas, still list your main location — it improves local search visibility.

🗂️ Step 8: Choose a Category

Select the category that best describes your business. If none of the available options are a perfect fit, choose the closest one and submit a request for a new category here.

🏷️ Step 9: Add Tags (Optional)

Tags help people find your business by specific services or features (for example, Affordable, 24/7 Service, Women-Owned). You can select up to 5 tags from the list.

🚀 Step 10: Submit Your Listing

Once everything looks good:

Click Preview to see how your listing will appear.
Click Submit Listing to send it for review.

Our team will approve your listing before it goes live to ensure all details are accurate and meet our community standards.

✅ You’re Done!

Once approved, your business will be visible on Biztown, making it easier for customers to discover your services, connect with you directly, and support local South African businesses.
