The Local List

The Local List is a directory of Australian local businesses: plumbers, electricians, cafes, cleaners, mechanics and more. Listings are ABN-verified, so you're looking at real businesses, not lead-gen pages. Search by category and city to find someone near you. Each city page names a top 5 for the trade with the reasons written out, and premium listings can't buy a spot on that list. Business owners can add a listing for free, with a paid premium option for more visibility. Built in Brisbane by Mitchell Down, who also runs Sell Any Car Fast (https://www.sellanycarfast.com.au) and Fuel Daddy (https://fueldaddy.com.au).

The Local List is an Australian business directory that helps customers find local businesses by suburb and category. Listings can include contact details, opening hours, and reviews. The directory focuses on Australian-owned or Australian-run businesses, and checks submissions before they go live. It also gives businesses a place to publish details online and build local citations so customers searching locally can discover them. Customers search for businesses by name, category, or suburb, or browse category and state pages. To create a listing, a business enters its ABN, which The Local List checks against the Australian Business Register, then adds contact details, opening hours, and a description. A standard listing is published after submission. Businesses can optionally pay once for a Premium listing with featured placement, a photo gallery, social links, a customer enquiry form, and a do-follow backlink. The directory is for customers looking for local businesses across Australia and for Australian-owned or Australian-run businesses that want to be found online. Eligible businesses may operate from home, travel to customers, or trade online, provided they serve Australian customers from Australia. The site says it checks contact details and ABNs, and listings display a Verified badge when the business is verified.
