Business Owners: Learn How to Claim Your Listing

Do you know your listing is free and fully customizable with just a few clicks of the mouse?

Here at Patch, there are a lot of things you can do besides reading our stories, especially if you’re a local business owner.

For example, our Places directory contains listings of almost every business in town (if your business is missing, let us know!). Each listing includes photographs, descriptions, when you’re open and closed, where to park and more information depending on your establishment – whether that’s a restaurant (what’s your signature dish?) or art gallery (how big is your collection?).

This listing is free to you. Unlike other listing services, we have created our directory as a service to our readers, meaning we’ve shouldered all the work and costs. However, what really sets us apart is the level of interactivity you can have with your listing – namely, claiming it to manage its content.

Claiming your listing is as easy as filling out a quick form. We ask for your name, role at the business (owner, manager, etc.), a phone number and whether you’re authorized to represent the organization. If our directory team verifies your claim, then you’re in! Then you can:

  • Submit photos.
  • Change your contact information.
  • Update your hours of operation to reflect seasonal changes.
  • Post a PDF of your menu or add photos from your latest event so Patch readers know exactly what your business is like.

Also, you might find that some of the information in your listings may be outdated or wrong. If so, email Editor Leslie Ellis at leslie.ellis@patch.com.
