Your name populates every placement automatically — your listing card, ticker banner, featured card, and hero rotator. One field, everywhere.
Step 2 of 10
What kind of business?
Pick the one that fits best. This sets your category on the directory and helps customers find you by type.
SEO note: Your category is one of the first signals Google reads on your listing page. Picking the right one means showing up when people search "locally owned [category] in Appleton."
Food & Drink
Restaurants, cafes, bars, bakeries
Shopping
Boutiques, gifts, antiques, specialty
Health & Beauty
Salons, spas, fitness, wellness
Services
Trades, cleaning, auto, professional
Step 3 of 10
Tell us more
Pick everything that applies. The more you choose, the more searches you show up in.
SEO note: Every tag you select becomes a keyword on your listing page. Someone searching "pizza Appleton" or "massage Appleton" will find you because of what you pick here.
Step 4 of 10
Describe your business Optional
One or two sentences about what makes you worth visiting. Your words, your voice.
SEO note: This description is indexed on your listing page. Specific language like "hand-tossed Neapolitan pizza in downtown Appleton" performs far better than "great food." Be specific — it's free advertising.

Step 5 of 10
Upload your business photo Optional
This becomes the background of your listing card, featured card, and hero rotator slide. A great photo is the difference between a click and a scroll-past.
Click to upload your business photo
JPG or PNG — at least 800px wide for best results
Step 6 of 10
Upload your logo Optional
Your logo scrolls across the ticker banner on every page of the site. A white or transparent PNG works best on the dark background.

Any format, any color — JPG, PNG, or SVG
Step 7 of 10
What's your offer? Optional
This line shows under your business name on your listing card and is emailed to every customer who clips your deal. Keep it punchy — 80 characters or less.

Step 8 of 10
Connect your web presence Optional
Add your links and watch your SEO footprint grow. Every link on your listing page is indexed, driving traffic back to your own channels.
Why this matters: Google treats every link on your listing as an endorsement of your online presence. A business with a website, Facebook, and Instagram listed here ranks higher in local searches than one without. It takes 60 seconds to add — and it works 24/7.
Step 9 of 10
Upload your coupon codes Optional
If your POS system generates discount codes, upload them here. Each customer who clips your deal gets a unique barcode emailed to them — they scan it at your register like any other coupon.
Upload Code Batch
CSV or Excel file — one code per row, from your POS system
—
codes received and ready
Customers will receive one unique code per clip via email.
