FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who can list a business?

Any UAE-based business offering products or services relevant to people living in or moving to the Emirates.

What information do I need to submit?

Your business name, category, a short description of what you offer, and the contact details you want visitors to use — phone, WhatsApp, website or email.

How much does a listing cost?

It depends on the listing tier and category. Message us on WhatsApp with your category and we'll confirm current rates.

Is the payment one-time or recurring?

We'll confirm the exact payment terms for your category and tier when you apply, before anything is agreed.

How long does it take for a listing to appear?

Listings are added by our team after you reach out — we'll give you a timeframe when you apply, based on current volume.

Can customers contact my business directly?

Yes. Your listing includes the contact details or links you provide, so interested visitors can reach you directly.

Can I update my listing later?

Yes — message us on WhatsApp any time to update your description, category or contact details.

Does a paid listing guarantee customers or sales?

No. A listing gives your business an additional opportunity to be discovered by people browsing the directory — it doesn't guarantee traffic, leads, sales or a specific return. We don't sell guaranteed results, only visibility and placement.
