and businesses in your area for a whole year.

With a range of advert types and sizes to suit all budgets and requirements, and free inclusion in our optimised, web-based directory... can you afford not to advertise in the local index?
the first place people look –
The local index is an essential resource for people living in, working in or visiting the area; it contains classified listings, useful local information (community, council, healthcare and transport details) and an indexed street map of your local area - making it even easier for customers to find you.
-
It’s easy to use - classified like Yellow Pages, but much more concise – so your advert won't get lost in the local index. The handy A5 format makes it easy to carry around – useful for tourists and tradesmen alike.
-
The printed format makes it good for technophobes! Recent government research shows that 35% of households nationally have no internet connection at all, and only 56% have broadband (ONS 2008).
However, at the local index we know some people prefer to use the Internet to find local services, so we offer local businesses free basic listings in our online directory.
All paying advertisers receive a free enhanced online listing, with a link to their own website, and the option to write their own description, and upload images and product details.
helping you attract and retain local custom –
-
The local index is highly targeted - we distribute the printed directory free to 33,500 addresses in Weymouth & Portland, and 20,000 addresses in Dorchester.
-
Extra copies are provided to estate agents, holiday parks, lettings companies, libraries and other outlets for people to pick up, so the local index is a great way to reach tourists and people moving into your area.
-
The printed format, updated annually, conveys a sense of permanence to the reader and gives your business an immediate local presence.
-
By helping you attract and retain local custom, the local index helps you minimise your fuel and distribution costs and reduce your carbon footprint.
And because we are based in Weymouth you get a friendly, professional service provided by people who understand your needs and want you to succeed.
