You’ve found it.

Look Direct gives every local place & service — from dog walkers to home bakers to beach hut owners — a free, shareable page that people can actually find.

Your page, your link

Everyone that lists on Look Direct gets a clean, permanent page at look.direct/your-name. It works like a mini website: your services, your photos, your contact details — all in one place.

Share it anywhere. Put it on your business cards, drop it in your Instagram bio, text it to a customer. It’s yours, it’s free, and once you’ve claimed it, the URL is guaranteed.

No algorithms. No monthly fees. No ads. Just a straightforward page that shows people what you do and how to reach you.

Why list on Look Direct?

You’re hard to find online. You might be brilliant at what you do, but if you’re relying on word of mouth and Facebook groups, you’re invisible to anyone who hasn’t already heard of you. Google buries you behind big chains and paid ads. Instagram is great for followers, but terrible for someone searching “cleaner near me”.

Look Direct fills that gap. A proper page, optimised for your area, that shows up when locals are looking.

It takes two minutes. Claim your page, add your details, and you’re live. No website builders, no hosting fees, no faffing about with domains.

It works alongside what you already have. Already got a website? Great — add your Look Direct link as another way for people to find you. Only use Instagram? Even better — now you’ve got a proper landing page to link to.

For locals

Looking for a dog walker? A hairdresser? A reliable handyman? The best local recommendations don’t come from Google — they’re recommended in group chats, passed around at the school gate, and shouted across the fence.

Look Direct brings that word-of-mouth knowledge online. Browse by category, see who’s nearby, and go direct to the people your neighbours already trust.

Made in Bournemouth

Look Direct is built and run locally. We know the area, we use the services, and we want to help the community thrive.

We’re starting with Bournemouth because we think it’s the perfect place to prove that local services deserve better than a Facebook post and a prayer. If it works here, we’ll take it everywhere.

Help us get better

We’re just getting started and we’d genuinely love to know what you think.
