Top Tips

1. Before starting your application, consider what you want to say about your business – words and pictures. What makes your business special/unique/unforgettable/worth a visit?
2. If your business has a unique selling point, shout about it on the Welcome to Fife website!
3. Take a look at the Business Listings’ categories and decide which is most appropriate for your business. If necessary, you can choose a secondary category.
4. If your town or village isn’t listed, choose the place nearest to your business.
5. Select at least one, and up to five good, clear, recent photos that illustrate what your business does. Photos don’t have to be by a professional photographer but the higher quality your images are, the better they will showcase your business.
6. Keep the description of your business short and sweet. The summary should be less than 130 characters. And write something new. No matter how tempting it may be, avoid cutting and pasting from your website or social media pages.
7. Check spelling. Check punctuation. Check grammar. Check for stray or missing apostrophes. Check there are no extra spaces between words, lines or paragraphs. Check – and check again.
8. No underlining, italics or sentences that are all capital letters. Sorry – we’re very strict!
9. If your registration doesn’t meet our criteria, your listing won’t appear. However, on the rare occasions that this happens, we’ll hopefully be able to suggest how to amend any issues around registration.
10. Once your registration has been successfully verified, approved and is live on the website, check how your business listing looks online – and check regularly in case anything needs to be changed or updated.
