We’ll be offering participating business owners a chance to sign up for a one-on-one marketing consultation with a Patch staffer and a chance to sign up to blog on our site.

We'll also help businesses claim their Patch Directory listing page on our site, a free service for promoting your business. Just look up your listing in the directory and click the "Claim" button.

If you search for your business in the directory and it doesn't show up, you can click the "Add a listing" button in the search box and fill out the form. Our directory team will get in touch with you in a couple of days when your listing is ready.
