About us
thelocalweb.net is the only comprehensive
online directory of business websites in the UK. Launched
in December 2002 we already provide substantial traffic to
commercial websites across all sectors. Over 640,000 companies
have added their details - six times more than any similar
directory. Any UK company may list their website free of charge
- together with company name, location, description, products/services
and business category.
Traffic to the site
thelocalweb.net is used each day by 25,000
visitors generating 125,000 searches by combining location,
category and keywords (see
user help). Our users are both business and consumer,
UK and overseas.
Our traffic is generated from :
- the major search engines Google, Yahoo, MSN and Jeeves which
carry over 400,000 links to thelocalweb.net

UKOnlineforBusiness and BusinessLink sites

There are 38 million Net users in the UK and
over 70% of UK businesses have websites. But they cannot find
each other - thelocalweb.net overcomes that problem. 75% of
all business is done with a local supplier - which is why
we list locations and websites.
