Locally is your go-to directory for finding reliable home servics specialists in your area. We make it simple for customers to connect directly with local businesses via WhatsApp, no middleman, no delays, just direct conversations.
Our Journey
Founded in 2010 to serve local communities, Locally started as a web development business helping hundreds of small businesses establish their online presence. Over the years, we worked with clients across the UK, from solo traders to growing teams.
In 2026, we evolved. We noticed that local customers struggled to find trustworthy trades, while great tradespeople struggled to be found. So we built something better: a directory that puts WhatsApp-enabled businesses front and centre, making it effortless for customers to reach out directly.
The Locally Approach
We believe in keeping things simple:
- Free listings for local home service businesses, no hidden fees, ever
- WhatsApp verification for premium placement, verified businesses appear at the top
- Direct contact, customers message trades instantly via WhatsApp
- Powered by Broadcaster, we partner with getbroadcaster.com to help trades get started with WhatsApp for Business
