About the New Zealand Business Directory
What the New Zealand Business Directory is, who runs it, how it makes money and what it will not do.
This is a directory of New Zealand businesses, organised by what they do and where they work. It covers all sixteen regions through 64 areas, and fifteen main categories holding 120 services.
It exists because most of the places a small business can get itself found are either a lead-generation site that sells the enquiry on, or a listing page so thin it does the business no good. This is neither. A listing here is a plain, consistent record of a real business: its name, its address, its phone number, its website and what it does. You contact the business directly and nothing passes through us.
How the directory pays for itself
Premium listings
Businesses can pay for a fuller profile and a position above the free listings in the same list. That is the only thing sold on this site.
What is not sold
Not editorial judgement, not a recommendation, not a review score, not a fixed position in a list, and not your enquiry. There is no lead-selling here and no advertising from anybody who is not listed.
Who runs it
The directory is built and run by Stu Clark, who also builds the sister directories for Christchurch and for Cyprus. It is a small operation, which is why every listing is read by a person rather than approved by a rule.
If something on this site is wrong, say so and it gets fixed. Corrections to a listing, including one that is not yours, go through the contact page.
What this directory will not do
- Invent a rating, a review or a score for any business.
- Claim to have verified a licence, a registration or an insurance policy.
- Sell your enquiry to anybody.
- Publish a business description written by a machine rather than its owner.
- Create a page for a place or a service just because the page could exist.
