Why we built it
Finding a business in Lebanon usually means asking around, scrolling through Instagram, or trusting a map pin that someone dropped years ago. Plenty of good places have no website at all. We want one place where every business can be found in seconds, the way people in other countries use a national directory.
The model is simple: a basic page is free for every business, and it stays free. Later, optional extras will pay for the site. The basic page will not become a paid product.
How pages get here
Many pages start from public information: facts a business has already published about itself, such as its name, category, address, map location and opening hours. Those pages say plainly that the owner has not claimed them yet.
An owner can claim their page for free, correct it, and add photos, hours and a WhatsApp number. An owner who would rather not be listed can remove the page: it is hidden straight away and not added again. A business that is not listed yet can be added by its owner in about three minutes.
How we protect owners
A phone number is never printed in the page. A visitor taps to see it, and we block anyone trying to collect numbers in bulk. An email address is never shown at all: visitors write through a form and we pass the message on.
There are no advertising trackers on the site. The details are in our privacy policy.
