Do I need an account before I start?

No. Your account is created at checkout using your email address, so you can begin straight away at /submit.

What if our AI misses something from our website?

That's fine—anything it can't find gets marked as "not found on your site" and you fill it in. Your listing only publishes once you've checked every field.

Can I change my launch week later?

Yes. Once you're live, you can relaunch into a different week anytime from /account/listings.

Get your neighbourhood business live in five steps

Walk through submitting your site, picking a plan, and going live on New Biz Launches.

Updated 3 October 2026

Tell us about your business

Head to /submit and pop in your website address. Our system reads what's already published on your site—your description, what you offer, photos, social links—and builds a profile from it. We only pull in what we can actually see on your pages, so if something's missing, you'll see "not found on your site" and can add it yourself. This way your listing stays true to what you've genuinely put out there.

Pick your launch style

Once you've checked every field and made your edits, choose how you'd like to go live. A free listing puts you in the queue about 6-8 weeks ahead, but we'll need to spot our badge on your website first before we publish. If you'd rather launch sooner, a paid launch at $5 with optional add-ons goes live straight away—or pick the exact launch week that suits you. Weeks begin on Monday, UTC time.

Complete your founder profile

Before anything goes live, you'll need to finish your founder profile over at /account/founder. Add a photo of yourself, your name, what you do, where you're based, a bit about you, and at least one link to something that's yours (your Instagram, LinkedIn, a personal site). This helps neighbours get to know the person behind the business.

Go live and keep it fresh

Once you're live, manage everything at /account/listings. Changes publish instantly, you can see how many people have voted, check the badge status, and relaunch into different weeks whenever you want. The launch calendar at /launches shows all the weeks ahead.
