Local does not mean easy to find
Somebody who moved in last month has no network here yet, and the only tool they have is a search. Being listed is how a business a few streets over becomes the one they use, instead of the one they never heard of.
- A real page search engines can read, not a photo in a group
- Listed under your category and your city
- Your own page with its own web address
The page does the explaining first
Your description and photos mean a new customer arrives at the chat already knowing roughly what you offer and what it looks like. That makes for a shorter, better first message than starting from nothing.
- Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
- A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
The stokvel decides where the December money goes
Grocery stokvels pay out before Christmas and the buying is agreed long beforehand, usually in a group chat, by people comparing who has what and at what price. That is a real, planned purchase heading somewhere specific. A business that can be found and asked in September or October is part of that conversation. One that cannot is not being avoided, it is just not on the list.

Questions
How much does it cost?
It is free, and there is no upgraded version to buy.
Can I list without photos?
Yes, and add them later. Listings with photos usually get a better response.
Who sees my number?
Anybody opening your listing can start a chat. You choose which number goes on the form.
