- How it works
A directory that checks itself
Customers find real businesses nearby. Businesses keep their own listings honest by confirming them on site. Here’s how both sides work.
Find it, check it, go
Open the app
No account needed. Allow location so we can show what’s around you.
Tap a category
The home screen has cards for everyday places — restaurants, barbers, pharmacies, garages and more. Or search by name.
Pick a distance
Show results within 1, 2, 3 or 5 miles. Change it any time on the results page.
Call or get directions
Every business shows its distance, hours, contact details and when it was last confirmed on site.
What decides the order?
Two things, in this order: the listing’s tier, then its distance from you.
- Platinum listings first, nearest first.
- Then Gold, nearest first.
- Then Silver, nearest first.
Every result is labelled with its tier, so it’s never hidden that a business has paid to appear higher. Only businesses within the distance you chose are shown — paying never puts a business further away into your results.
Added on site. Confirmed on site.
The website explains Around Me; the app is where businesses are added. That’s deliberate — it’s how we know every pin is in the right place.
Register in the app
Sign in with your email and a one-time code. No passwords.
Pin from the premises
Your phone records the location while you’re at the business. It must be accurate to 50 metres.
Re-confirm every 6 months
From within 150 metres of your pin. Miss it and the listing is hidden until you do.
Everything nearby, in your pocket.
