Give local customers a useful first impression
A useful listing explains what you do, where you are based and how someone can contact you. The Worthing Directory brings together shops, trades, health services, garages, professional firms and community organisations, with category and area filters to help people find a relevant contact.
Worthing has several distinct business areas. A shop on Montague Street, a Broadwater practice, a workshop near Dominion Way and a mobile trade based in Goring can all serve local customers. Keep the real location clear instead of giving every business a town-centre address.
Create a free local listing
Use List your business to submit the business name, website, phone and a useful description. Select the category and service tags that describe the work you actually offer. Explain a specialism in ordinary language, such as roof repairs, jewellery restoration or website support, rather than adding unrelated tags.
Provide a contact email for managing the listing. Public email display is optional, and submissions are reviewed before they appear. Check your details carefully so a customer reaches the correct branch or team.
Describe your coverage honestly
A shop, salon or garage should show its actual premises. A plumber, electrician or gardener can explain the neighbourhoods and nearby villages it serves while keeping its base visible. Serving Ferring, Findon or Lancing does not require inventing an office in each place.
Add practical detail that helps someone make an enquiry: the types of job you undertake, whether work is by appointment and the information you need for a quotation. Avoid promises about results or availability that the business cannot maintain.
Use a complete image and keep details current
Choose your own full logo or a clear photograph of the business, premises or work. Leave space around lettering so the identity remains legible on a small directory card. A supplier badge or client logo should not replace your own business identity.
Review the listing when your website, phone, address or services change. If a listing already exists, use the edit-link process with its recorded contact email instead of submitting a duplicate. One accurate page gives customers a clearer route than conflicting versions.
Use other relevant local routes alongside it
Your own website and an accurate Google Business Profile can complement a directory listing. Keep names, addresses and contact details consistent, and explain the next step when somebody contacts you. A directory page supports discovery without guaranteeing rankings or enquiries.
Adur and Worthing Councils provides local business information, and Worthing Town Centre BID is relevant to the central business community. Use the organisations and networks that fit your location and business type.
