Local Search by Local People

Are you looking for something locally, but can’t find it in that global search engine? Are there too many irrelevant or outdated results?

There are a lot of sites like ours which call themselves local, but they are often owned by companies in other regions and even other countries. Their content is limited, their company information can be years out of date, but they rank quite highly in the most popular global search engines because they have a large network of sites, heavily padded out with advertising, which are cross-linked to each other to benefit their rankings. These sites have no incentive to remove outdated or incorrect information, because it can still generate visitors. Clearly it works for them – but does it work for you? Can you trust the results you get?

Leeds.biz provides an Internet search and directory service for 4,773 business and organisations in the Leeds (LS) postal district, which includes Ilkley, Otley, Pudsey, Tadcaster, and Wetherby. We are passionate about bringing you high quality information and a high quality service. Together with sister site Bradford.biz, we cover a population of approximately 1.2 million people in the UK. We design our sites to be quick to load and fast to use, with unobtrusive advertising which doesn’t get in your way. We use human editors to maintain our databases, rather than automated software that doesn’t understand the local area, and we ask our visitors to help us stay up to date by reporting any dead links or out of date information in our database to us, so we can remove it and make this site better for everyone.

Leeds.biz and Bradford.biz are web properties of Infosition Ltd., founded over ten years ago in 1998 with the launch of the original Bradford Internet portal, Bradford-Net.com. Today, Infosition builds software, web-sites and provides IT consultancy services.

While some other online local business directories charge you for entry, we don't - what use is a site with a handful of paid entries? If you represent, or know of, a web-site of a company or organisation within Leeds or Bradford, you can submit them for free here. To advertise on Leeds.biz or Bradford.biz, on a cost-effective pay-per-click basis where you can measure the return on your investment, click here.

Thank you for visiting Leeds.biz. We hope you find our service useful. If you'd like to support a little localism rather than globalism when it comes to Internet search, please consider helping us to get the message out by linking to our site. Please feel free to contact us or make suggestions.
