Ads and publishing

Business advertising support

Present your business accurately, organise listings and understand business verification requirements.

Use the correct account type

Advertisers acting for a company, trade or profession should identify themselves accurately as a business. Business sellers and employers may be asked for company or professional details before using restricted categories.

Build a clear business presence

  • Use the recognised business name.
  • Keep contact and service-area details current.
  • Publish each listing in the most accurate category.
  • Use clear original photos and transparent prices.
  • Complete any sector-specific declaration truthfully.

Verification and support

Verification requirements depend on the category and activity. Evidence is reviewed privately and must never be placed in listing descriptions.

Common questions

Do businesses receive automatic verification?

No. A business label or professional verification appears only after the applicable review is completed.

Can one business account publish different categories?

Yes, where the listings are lawful and the business satisfies any category-specific requirements.
