Own or Operate a Business in the H-F? Claim Your Free Listing on Patch

If you you own a business, why not own your listing in the Patch Places directory?

If you've been to Homewood-Flossmoor Patch to read the news, you've probably seen bits and pieces of our Patch Places directory.

It's basically a list we composed of local businesses that includes addresses, contact information, open hours and lot of other information we think our readers will find useful. We even went out and took scores of pictures of H-F businesses.

Now, let's say you own or operate one of those businesses. You can actually claim the listing for your business for free and do all kinds of cool stuff with it, including adding pictures and additional helpful information for your customers!

You can operate this listing as if it's your Website, or at least a component of your existing site.

In order to claim your listing, simply visit it in our Patch Places directory (there's a search bar to make it easy to find) and click the button that says "Claim It."

You will be asked a few easy questions to verify your role with the business, then you're good to go. This is probably the easiest (and cheapest) way you'll ever promote your business.

A good example of what one can do with a claimed listing is Aurelio's Pizza in Homewood. .

They did all this without having to pay any money or give up any credit card information. We're a community resource, folks!
