RateLocal.com have announced the launch of their new UK business directory. From September onwards, UK based businesses can use RateLocal to promote their business, products and services completely free of charge.

Each business listing includes the business address, contact telephone numbers, map, company description and website link with the option to include opening times, social pages, photos and video. RateLocal also has a handy internal messaging system for customers wanting to approach business owners about using their services.

In 2014, 88% of internet users checked online reviews before they made a purchase or signed up for a service, meaning building a positive reputation online is more important than ever. RateLocal users can send customers to their business profile who can leave reviews about their products or services they offer.

Gary Barnett of RateLocal.com said: “We are so excited to finally launch the RateLocal.com business directory. It’s been a long time in the making and it seems all of our hard work and determination has finally paid off. We’re expecting big things going forward.”

RateLocal.com is a website where UK based businesses can promote their business for free online. Business users can create promotional pages for their company, helping to reach more potential customers and win new business.
