Local Business Owner? Get Your Business Listed on the Patch — For Free!

At Patch, we believe local businesses form the heart and soul of our communities. We also talk to business owners every day — and we listen. That's why we're reintroducing our free local business directories. With our new directory, you'll get access to a customizable landing page where you can include your business' logo, address, a link to your website and bio.

This will not only let Patch readers find your business, it could also improve your rank on search engines. Who doesn't like that? And when you create a listing for your business, you'll also gain access to our featured announcements, jobs and event listings, where you can promote your business and drive local sales.

What's the catch? Well, to join our local business directory, you have to be ... wait for it ... a local business. (Not local? Feel free to call the Patch Sales Team.) We want to keep Patch local, and that means keeping the Patch Business Directories local too.
