Input your Business phone #, and select the "Find my business" button to the right of the input field. If your business has not already been listed, the phrase "Sorry, we could not find any information!" will appear, as well as a blue button to "Submit a new business". Select this button to continue to submit your business to 2FindLocal.

Step 4: Email Verification

Step 5: Add Business Info

The most important step to submit your business to 2FindLocal is to input the correct information for your business. As pictured above, you will need to input your Business Name, use the pre-generated page URL or create your own, and input your phone number, street address, Town (or city), and country. It is optional to input your Province and Postal Code. In addition, your Firm ID at the top should be pre-generated, or you can find it in the verification email sent to your account email from step 3.
Once you have input your correct information, your Geo Location will be generated as pictured below.

If the location selected in the Generated Geo Location is incorrect, you can click on the correct location. The red pin will move to the location you choose.

After selecting the Geo Location, you will need to select between one and three categories for your business. You can select either the primary categories, or one of the secondary or tertiary categories listed, as we did in the picture below.

Once you have selected your categories, you can input descriptive tags or keywords for your business. Input as many as you would like, and try to make them as different and descriptive as possible (example: "website design" and "custom website development").
