Free Business Profile

R0free, always

No monthly fee. No subscription. No obligation. A full profile that customers can find and contact, with nothing held back later.

For a business with a South African address. A business based elsewhere needs an International Listing subscription.

  • Found in search, on the map and in your category
  • Your own business profile page, with your address on the map
  • Phone, email, address, opening hours and a website link
  • Your services, with prices if you want to show them
  • A logo and a photo gallery, up to 8 photos
  • Edit it yourself any time, free
  • A green Verified Business badge on your profile and beside your name in every search result you appear in
  • All your locations — up to 6 more branches or practices, each with its own address, phone number, map pin and hours, and each described to Google as a business location in its own right
  • Your people — up to 12 team members, each with a photo, their role, their qualifications and their areas of expertise
  • More searches find you — a search for one of your people by name, or for something only one of them does, brings up your business too
  • Post jobs — advertise your vacancies on our Jobs board, set up so eligible vacancies can appear in Google’s job search, and reply to customers who post a request for your kind of service
  • First to hear about new work — when someone in your province asks for your kind of service, verified businesses are the first we alert

Your business details

Tell us about your business. We'll email you a link to verify and publish your profile — it's free.

A mobile alongside a landline, say. Both are shown on your profile.
Adds a Chat on WhatsApp button to your profile. Leave blank to hide it.
Keep it short — up to 1,000 characters. Cover what you do, who it’s for and why choose you. List individual services and prices under Services & prices below instead.
Start typing for suggestions. Address search by Mapbox.

Drag the marker to where your business actually is. Worth doing if the map looks wrong — we can’t always find smaller suburbs automatically.

Your details not shown on your profile
For our records, and so we know who to address when we contact you about this profile.

Make your profile stand out

Opening hours, a logo or photo, and at least one service are required. The rest is optional and you can come back to it later. Each section you fill in adds a panel to your public profile.

Services & prices Required What you offer, e.g. classes, treatments, call-outs

One line per service or class, e.g. “Beginner yoga class”. Prices are optional — “R250”, “from R150” or “POA” all work.

Features & amenities Parking, card payments, walk-ins…

Tick everything that applies. Each one shows on your profile with a check mark.

Want the Verified Business badge? R29.99 a month. We review your documents first and only ask for payment if they check out — nothing to pay now. Cancel any time, and your business profile is free either way. Add Verified Business

Verified Business added — R29.99 a month once we have approved you

Send your company registration document and the owner's ID. We review them, usually within two working days, and only ask for payment once they pass. Nothing to attach yet? Your profile still publishes without them, and you can send both later from manage your profile.

Your CIPC registration certificate, or equivalent. PDF, JPEG or PNG, up to 10 MB.
ID card, ID book page or passport for the person who owns the business. A clear photo is fine, as long as the whole document is in frame.

We need both. Photos are resized in your browser before they are sent, so the whole document must be readable in frame; PDFs are sent exactly as they are. Your documents are stored privately, are never shown on your public profile, and are only ever seen by our review team.
