How to Create or Claim a Business Listing

Creating or claiming your business listing on LocalZ is the first step to gaining control of your online presence. Whether your business already exists in the directory or needs to be added from scratch, this article walks you through both options.

If your business is already listed on LocalZ, you’ll need to claim it before you can make changes or access promotional tools.

Step-by-Step to Claim a Listing:

1. Search for your business using the homepage or Directory page

2. Click on your business name from the search results

3. If the listing is unclaimed, you will see a “Claim this Business” button

4. Click the button and log in or create a LocalZ account

5. Select one of the available paid plans during the claim process

6. Complete your payment to activate your claim

7. Your listing will be automatically approved once payment is confirmed
