BrownBook is the open business directory that anyone can edit and where everyone has their say. We're building the Internet's most reliable and accurate business directory, one business at a time - and you can be a part of it just by having your say. It's an ambitious project and one that we hope you can contribute to. You can add new businesses, update existing businesses, even write helpful reviews about good or bad service. If you own a business you can claim it and promote it in BrownBook so you get alerted to reviews and edits that other people make.

If you’re looking for a business, if you own a business, or if you know about a great (or not so great) local business, BrownBook is for you.

Need a business?

We use a simple search, one search box just like Google; tell us what you need and where, and we’ll supply the answers. Unlike existing classified directories we use descriptive tags to categorize businesses and locations, so you can use natural language in your search. Anyone can rate a business, anyone can write a review, anyone can add new businesses or update existing businesses, so everyone benefits from the collective input of others

Used a business?

Have you recently experienced good service, or perhaps bad service? Let other people know by writing a review. Anyone can write a review and you don’t even need to be registered with us to do it. Try it now, what was the last business you used? Did you get good service? Find it in BrownBook, add it if you need to, and tell the world how good (or bad) it was for you.

Own a business?

Not only can you add your business, for free, but you can claim it and promote it too. When you claim your business you'll get notified of any updates, edits and reviews made by anyone for a year. So you can get real feedback from your customers and the chance to communicate more closely with them. After the year you can choose to renew your claim and promotions, or let them lapse. You can promote your business with BrownBook by adding extra features to your listing, like bold typeface, a highlighted listing, add a rich description opening times or show special offers, even add photos and videos to really win those customers.
