This site has been created to allow users to find specific types of businesses in a specific UK location. The search field at the top of the homepage has two elements that must both be completed to bring back a successful search.

The ‘What’ search field allows you to search for what you’re looking for either by business type, such as florist, accountant or solicitor, a specific business’ name, or by keyword.

A keyword is a word or phrase that can be used to describe a business. A keyword could describe a product, a service or a selling point for that business. For example, if you are searching for gift, but it's a valentine's gift that you are after, then you can search our directory by typing 'Valentine Gifts' into the ‘What’ search field and a list of businesses will be returned which sell valentines gifts .

The ‘Where’ search field allows you to retrieve search results for a specific location. In this field you can type in the name of the town, such as Oldham or Harrogate; the city, such as Manchester or London; or the county, such as Cheshire or County Durham. You can also search for a business by using the first part of the area postcode such as LS19, OL1, or SW1.

Infoserve.com uses a special predictive text function in both the ‘What’ and ‘Where’ search fields, which makes it far easier and faster to search for the business you are looking for. As you begin inputting the business type, business name or keyword, a list of possible words you may be searching for will appear under the search box along with the relevant business category. Once the word you are looking for appears, simply move your mouse over the word you want to select and click on it using the mouse. The same process applies to the ‘Where’ field, whether you choose to search by town, city, county or postcode.

Infoserve.com gives you the facility to update your company’s contact details, add keywords specific to your business and its products and services, and include descriptive text about your business.

Once your business details are displayed you can check and edit your contact details and add five free keywords relating to your business. A keyword is a word or phrase that can be used to describe a business. A keyword could describe a product, a service or a selling point for that business.
