  • Claim your listing – lock it down so only you can update it, and get alerted anytime anyone reviews or tags your business
  • Make your listing stand out visually with a Bold, Highlighted, and Boxed listing
  • Get priority in search results
  • Customize your business page – add photos, videos, logos, detailed information about your services, even widgets like a Skype button or Meebo instant messenger
  • Use Brownbook features on your other websites, like reviews, maps, and any photos and videos from your page
  • Make a unique presentation of your business, by using drag and drop to customize the layout of your business page
  • Create your standalone business website with your own design and brand – not a Brownbook logo in sight

To get all these for free for 30 days click ‘claim’ or ‘this is my business’ on your business listing page and follow the instructions.  It’s so simple, its takes just one minute.

Near to the end of the 30 days we’ll drop you a note to remind you to take up the full claim and any promotions you want to keep.  There’s no commitment, and no need to give us your card details, just give it a whirl on us for free.
