How to List Your Business on VLocal — Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Why Your Business Needs a VLocal Listing

Every day, thousands of people in your city search for exactly what your business offers — but they can't find you because you don't have a proper digital presence. VLocal bridges that gap. A verified VLocal listing puts your business name, phone number, address, and category directly in front of people who are ready to buy.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Visit vlocal.in/register and choose "I Own a Business". You'll need a working mobile number or email address. We'll send you a one-time password (OTP) to verify your identity — this takes about 30 seconds.

Step 2: Fill Your Business Profile

Once logged in, click "Add Business" from your dashboard. Fill in:

• Business Name — Use the exact name your customers know you by
• Category — Choose from 150+ categories (restaurants, hospitals, salons, coaching, etc.)
• City and Area — Be precise — customers search by locality
• Phone Number — Your primary contact (verified and masked from bots)
• Address — Full address with landmark if possible
• Working Hours — Set your opening and closing times for each day

Step 3: Add Photos

Listings with photos get 3x more clicks than text-only listings. Upload at least:

• A clear logo or storefront photo (your cover image)
• 2–3 interior or product photos
• Any certificates, awards, or menu items

Step 4: Submit for Verification

Once you submit, our team manually verifies your listing within 24–48 hours. We'll call the phone number you provided to confirm your business is real and operating. This is what makes VLocal different — every listing is human-verified.

Step 5: Go Live and Get Found

After verification, your listing appears in city search results, category pages, and Google (via our sitemap). Share your VLocal profile link on WhatsApp, Instagram, and your business cards to drive more traffic.

Pro Tips for a Great Listing
