For local businesses
Add or claim your business listing
Businesses are listed on the guide for their own city. Send one request here and we route it to the right local guide — or claim a listing that already exists and fix the details.

We route it locally
Your request goes to the guide that covers your city, where an editor verifies the basics.

Not sure whether your city has a guide yet? Check the A–Z city index. If it isn't live, send the request anyway and we'll contact you at launch.
Listing questions
- Where will my business appear?
- On the guide for the city you serve — for example Royal Oak Guide or Ann Arbor Guides — not on CityGuide.us itself. CityGuide.us is the national hub; the listings live on the city guides.
- Is a basic listing free?
- Yes. A standard listing with your name, category, address, hours, phone and website is free, and claiming an existing listing to correct it is free too.
- What does a paid placement add?
- Featured placement at the top of your category, photos and longer descriptions, inclusion in relevant guides and roundups, and category exclusivity where it's available.
- What if my city isn't live yet?
- Send the request anyway. We keep a list by city and contact you when a guide launches there — requests also help us decide which cities come next.
