Business Directory Services

Service Summary

The Corfu Local Business Directories are the island’s most comprehensive and trustworthy guides to local businesses — from the corner café or boutique restaurant to the specialist architect or motor mechanic. It goes far beyond a simple list of names and phone numbers, giving every business on Corfu a professional, searchable presence that works for them around the clock.

Why Corfu Needs This

Too many excellent local businesses are invisible online. A talented plumber, a family-run taverna with extraordinary food, a boutique offering the finest local ceramics — all of them overlooked simply because they have no professional digital presence.

Meanwhile, residents waste hours searching for trusted local tradespeople, and visitors miss the authentic experiences that make Corfu special because they can only find what the big platforms promote.

The Corfu Local Business Directories will solve this by creating a trusted, island-specific space where every business — however small — can be found, contacted, and possibly booked (*Listings Plus*)

What the Directory Offers (free)

For every listed business:

A complete, searchable profile with name, address, phone, email, website, opening hours, photos, and a business description
Category and sector tags so customers find you when they search for exactly what you offer
A map pin so residents and visitors can locate you instantly
Customer review capability, helping you build your local reputation over time
A direct contact or enquiry button so potential customers can reach you in one click

Corfu Local Concierge Services

We understand that many excellent local businesses are run by people who are experts in their trade but not in digital marketing.

Corfu Local offers a Concierge Model — hands-on support to help digitally-shy businesses build a professional, attractive profile, including help with websites, videos, virtual tours, photos, copywriting, and search optimisation.

Our goal is that no good business is left behind simply because the owner does not have time to fill in an online form.

Listings Plus - optional

For businesses ready to go further, Directory Plus transforms a basic listing into a full digital shopfront:

Online booking and appointment scheduling directly through your listing
Video introduction — let customers see your space, your team, and your product before they arrive
Featured and promoted placement, giving your business priority visibility in search results
Seasonal promotional tools to push offers and events to an engaged local audience

Why This Matters for the Community

Local first: Residents find trusted, verified local businesses instead of defaulting to national chains or out-of-island providers
Revenue stays on the island: Every booking made through a local listing keeps money circulating within the Corfu economy
Trust built in: All listings are verified local businesses — no anonymous entries, no misleading profiles
Year-round visibility: Your profile works for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, even in the quiet winter months
