A brand new online service promises to provide the regions most comprehensive and trusted business directory to help you find the service you need.
The new, easy-to-use, website LocalSearch24 offers an extensive range of information to both consumers and traders. The site focuses on helping users find the right resources, on their doorstep, whenever they need it.
Andrew Denny, digital directions manager of the Archant-run LocalSearch24, said: “The website will provide an online platform for local people to search for local businesses as more and more people turn to online to look for this nature of sourcing information.”
For example if someone wants to find an dentist in their area all they have to do is type in ‘dentist’ and the area they want, such as Holt, and it will then generate a list of the businesses in the town and also other suggestions relevant to the search. Users can also type in Norfolk to get a list of all the available traders in the county as a whole.
That is just the start of it. It is then things become interesting.
Not only does the website act as a great platform for local business to advertise themselves on, but it also doubles up as a business website where traders can have video content, photographs, slide shows, downloadable brochures and even vouchers uploaded for its customers.
As well as general details of the particular business, such as contact information, it allows users to explore the business without stepping outside their front door. Other tools, such as street view and directions to the business also means users can see what the area or shop looks like even before they visit.
Mr Denny said: “If you have got people travelling around or coming into the county and they want to find a business in Norfolk then they can get that information on the move.”
To make this even more relevant the LocalSearch24 team have made the site accessible via mobile phones. This allows the user to receive the relevant information they want, such as contact information, but there is also the option to receive a SMS text to their phone so the information is on-hand to them when they are ready to use it.
There is currently an impressive 38,000 businesses listed on the site already and that number is increasing every day. To visit the site, go to www.localsearch24.co.uk or the mobile site m.localsearch24.co.uk
