Brixton, London

Free business listing in Brixton, with a message button instead of a phone number

Brixton has been written about enough. What it has less of is a straightforward way for somebody to find the particular trader they were told about and start a conversation without ringing a stranger mid shift.

List your business for free

Free to list. No account, no card, and no commission on anything you sell.

Three steps, and no catch to look for

  1. Fill in the form once

    What you do, where you are, your WhatsApp number. There is no account, so nothing to be locked out of and no password to reset later.

  2. Your page goes up

    We build and host it at its own address. It is not a website you have to maintain, and having one already changes nothing.

  3. The chat opens

    One tap and they are messaging you on the number you already carry. Nobody installs anything, on either side.

Free to list, free to stay listed, and no commission on a single sale. We hold no payments, so what a customer pays you is between the two of you.

A recommendation needs somewhere to land

Someone vouches for you in a WhatsApp group and gets the spelling slightly wrong. A page with your name and your bit of Brixton on it means that recommendation still arrives somewhere.

  • Your own page with its own web address
  • A real page search engines can read, not a photo in a group
Photo
Your listing: a photo, your category and town, reviews from customers, and a message button.

Written first, spoken later

Plenty of people would rather ask about price or availability in a message than on the phone, and you would rather answer it when you have a free hand. That suits both of you.

  • A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
  • Photos of your goods, your shop or your work

Carnival is one weekend and a lot of preparation

The costumes, the food, the sound, the hair. All of it is commissioned weeks earlier by people who are comparing and asking around, and a good part of that comparing happens in messages rather than in person. The useful window is the month before, not the weekend itself.

One tap from your listing opens a chat, on the WhatsApp you already use.

What your customers said, on your page

Ratings and a few words from people you have already served. Every listing is checked before it goes live, so what is up there is a real business in a real place.

  • Customers can leave a rating and a review
  • Every listing is checked before it goes live
  • Free to list, with nothing to pay later

Old housing keeps the trades in work all year

Terraces and conversions run on pipework and wiring put in for a different century. Boiler swaps, rewires, damp and drainage are steady rather than seasonal, and the people who need them search by trade and postcode rather than by the name of a firm they have never heard of.

  • Listed under your category and your city
  • Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
  • Your own page with its own web address

Give word of mouth an address

A free page, one short form, and enquiries land in WhatsApp.

Questions

Is this instead of Instagram?

No. Instagram shows your work to people who already follow you. This is for the person searching for your category in your area who has never heard of you.

Is it really free?

Yes. No listing fee, no monthly cost, and no commission.

Can I update it later?

Yes, your listing can be changed.

I am a plumber, electrician or heating engineer. Can I list?

Yes, and the trades are some of the most searched work on here. Plumbing, electrical work, boiler and heating engineering, gas work, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning all list the same way, free and with no commission. Your registrations, your qualifications and your insurance stay exactly as they were: a listing is none of those things and never presents itself as one.
