The Local List
Free Australian business directory with live ABN checks
The Local List is a free directory of Australian local businesses. You search by suburb and category to find a plumber, cafe, cleaner or accountant near you. It has over 14,000 businesses across every state, in 68 categories. Owners can add or claim a listing for free, and when they enter an ABN we check it live against the Australian Business Register. Signing up never gets you a sales call.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Mitchell from Brisbane. Listing a small business online in Australia usually comes with a sales call attached, or a monthly fee before you show up anywhere useful. I wanted a directory where the basic listing costs nothing and stays that way. Searching is free and listing is free. Owners who want to sit higher in their category can pay a one-off A$29 for Premium, with no subscription. I'd love feedback on the search, and on what would make a listing more useful to you.
