Your Business, Found.
Your Community, Connected.

Having a website and being listed on ZolaPages are two completely different things. Your website works when someone already knows your name and searches for you directly. ZolaPages works when someone who's never heard of you searches for "African restaurant in Northampton" or "hair braiding in Leicester" — and your business appears right in front of them. It's extra discovery, not a replacement.

Your listing runs itself once it's set up. It takes under 5 minutes to create. After that, it sits there working for you 24/7 — showing up in searches, displaying your phone number, and letting customers send enquiries. There's nothing to post, no algorithm to feed, no regular updates needed. It's a one-time setup that keeps paying off.

Yes — completely free, no credit card, no trial period, no catch. We believe every African business deserves to be found, regardless of budget. Our business model is built on optional Premium features for businesses that want more visibility — not on locking the basics behind a paywall. List for free today and upgrade only if and when it makes sense for you.

Multiple ways. First, ZolaPages is being actively promoted across African community groups, WhatsApp networks, and social media in the East Midlands. Second, the directory is SEO-optimised — searches like "African barber Nottingham" or "Nigerian restaurant Derby" can surface ZolaPages results on Google. Third, word of mouth — as the community grows, more people discover businesses through the platform. The earlier you list, the more established your presence will be.

Consider this: if Premium brings you even one new customer a month, it has paid for itself. For most businesses — a meal, a haircut, a service call — one customer covers the entire monthly cost. And unlike advertising, you're not paying per click or per impression. £10/month is a flat, predictable cost with no surprises. You can cancel any time with no penalty.

Absolutely. If you can fill in a form on your phone, you can list your business on ZolaPages. There's no technical setup, no code, nothing to install. Just go to zolapages.co.uk, click "List your business free," and follow the simple steps. It's designed to be used by everyone — not just tech experts.

No contracts. No lock-in. Cancel any time from your dashboard. If you cancel, your Premium features stay active until the end of the billing period — you won't lose anything mid-month. Your free listing and verified badge remain yours permanently. We believe in earning your subscription every month, not trapping you in one.

Never. When a customer contacts you through ZolaPages, that lead is 100% yours. We don't take a cut of any booking, sale, or service. Premium is a simple flat monthly fee — nothing more. Every pound a customer pays you goes directly to you.

Google Maps is great for people who already know where they're going — ZolaPages is for discovery. On Google, your business competes with every business in your area regardless of category. On ZolaPages, you're in a focused directory specifically for African businesses — so when someone in the community wants to support African-owned businesses, you're exactly where they're looking.
