For Businesses
Your Professional Online Presence, Simplified
Focus on What You Do Best
Running a business is demanding enough without worrying about websites, compliance requirements, and digital marketing. AroundManchester.com provides everything you need to establish a credible online presence – so you can concentrate on serving your customers.
We handle the technical complexity, you reap the benefits.
What You Get
Your listing on AroundManchester.com is more than a directory entry – it’s a complete business profile that showcases your premises, services, and unique offerings to customers across Greater Manchester and beyond.
360 Degree Virtual Tours
Professional immersive photography that lets customers explore your premises before they visit. We capture every angle, creating an experience that builds confidence and encourages footfall.
Photo Galleries
High-quality imagery showcasing your products, services, and atmosphere. No need to hire a separate photographer or worry about technical specifications.
Comprehensive Business Profile
Contact details, opening hours, description, and all the information customers need – presented consistently and professionally.
Accessibility Information
Detailed access information helps customers with mobility requirements plan their visit with confidence, expanding your potential customer base.
The Hook
Your exclusive customer incentive displayed prominently – a powerful tool for building loyalty and encouraging repeat visits.
Hosting Included
Your listing, imagery, and virtual tours are hosted on our infrastructure. No separate hosting costs, no technical maintenance, no domain renewals to remember.
The Hook: Turn Discovery into Loyalty
The Hook is your built-in incentive for customers who find you through AroundManchester.com. It is a simple, controlled offer that encourages first-time visitors to convert and come back again – without sacrificing your margins.
Why It Works
- Sets you apart from nearby competitors with a clear, low-effort incentive
- Encourages repeat visits by rewarding customers who return with your listing
- Simple for staff to honour – no codes or third-party systems needed
- Fully under your control: you choose the offer, spend threshold, and renewal timing
How to Set Your Hook
- Pick a margin-friendly offer – a free add-on, small upgrade, or next-visit bonus works best.
- Define the trigger – set a clear spend level or action (e.g., “show your listing and spend £25”).
- Brief your team – let staff know what qualifies and how to redeem it quickly.
- Refresh when needed – update your Hook at renewal or anytime you want to test a new incentive.
Example Hooks Businesses Use
Cafés & Coffee Shops
Spend £10 and include a complimentary pastry or upgrade to a larger drink.
Local Shops & Mini Marts
Spend £25 and add an everyday essential (milk, bread, or similar) at no extra cost.
Restaurants & Takeaways
Spend £30 per person and offer a dessert, side, or drink upgrade as a thank you.
Hair Salons & Barbers
Book the next appointment on the spot and apply 10% off or a complimentary add-on.
Your listing displays The Hook so customers know exactly how to claim it. We never take commission or interfere with pricing – you keep full control, and the incentive helps turn directory browsers into loyal customers.
Compliance Made Simple
Operating a business online in the UK comes with regulatory responsibilities. From accessibility requirements to data protection, the landscape of digital compliance can feel overwhelming – especially when you’re focused on running your actual business.
We’ve Done the Hard Work
AroundManchester.com is built with UK governance requirements in mind. Our platform handles the technical compliance aspects, so your business appears on a site that takes accessibility, privacy, and proper data handling seriously. You benefit from our investment in doing things properly.
What This Means for You
- Accessibility Standards: Our site is designed to meet accessibility guidelines, meaning your listing is presented on a platform that works for everyone
- Privacy by Design: We don’t use tracking cookies or invasive analytics – your customers can browse with confidence
- Clear Legal Framework: Proper terms of service, privacy policy, and cookie policy are already in place
- Professional Presentation: Your business appears alongside others in a well-maintained, reputable directory
Rather than navigating these requirements yourself or paying a developer to build a compliant website from scratch, you gain the benefit of appearing on a platform that’s already built to do things right.
Connect Everything in One Place
Modern businesses operate across multiple channels – social media profiles, online ordering platforms, e-commerce stores, booking systems. Your AroundManchester.com listing becomes a central hub that connects all of these together.

One Link That Answers Everything
When customers message you asking about your facilities, layout, accessibility, opening hours, or services – simply share your AroundManchester.com listing. One link answers all their questions and gives them everything they need to visit with confidence.
Honest, Transparent Pricing
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden fees. You know exactly what you’re paying for, and there are no surprises down the line.
Annual Service Fee
This is the standard rate. Early adopters benefit from significant discounts that remain locked in for life.
- Joins 1–100: 50% off for life (£125 + VAT)
- Joins 101–500: 50% off for six years, then 20% off for life
- Joins 501–1000: 25% off for first ten years
Why Join Numbers Are Prestigious
Your join number is a badge that rewards commitment. Numbers below 1001 lock their discount tier for as long as your membership never lapses, and that uninterrupted membership keeps your default listing priority fixed in district and regional search results.
Those search results and filter lists start in join-number order by default. Keep renewing on time and your earned position remains the first view customers see unless they choose another sort such as A–Z or newest. Pausing membership gives up both the discount and that default placement, so continuity pays off.
Why Annual?
An annual fee keeps things simple for both of us. You have a predictable cost you can budget for, and we can focus on maintaining and improving the platform rather than chasing monthly payments. It also includes time for us to refresh your imagery and content at renewal – keeping your listing current year after year.
