About 703 Business Directory
A free Northern Virginia business directory curated for residents of the 703 area code.
What this is
703 Business Directory is a small, NoVA-only directory of real local businesses and community events. We focus exclusively on the 703 area code — Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Reston, Herndon, Vienna, McLean, Tysons, Springfield, Burke, Centreville, Manassas, Leesburg, Sterling, Ashburn, and the smaller towns and neighborhoods between them.
Every listing is free to browse and free to claim. Businesses don't pay to appear in the directory. We make money only when a business upgrades to a paid tier (extra photos, lead forwarding, analytics) — and paid listings never outrank free ones in regular search results.
What you can do here
- Browse real local listings across 67 Northern Virginia cities and 32 categories — from plumbers and roofers to restaurants, lawyers, and IT services.
- Read long-form local guides ranking the best 6,654+ listings in each category and city (273 guides and counting).
- Find community events from Eventbrite and the Loudoun Chamber iCal feed, plus user-submitted events with free editorial review.
- Request quotes directly from any business — your message goes to the business owner with no middleman and no referral fee.
- Claim your business for free to update hours, photos, contact details, and review responses when they matter.
- Subscribe to the events feed at

How listings are curated
Most listings come from public business registries, regional chamber member directories, and verified owner submissions. We don't list chain businesses, franchises, or national brands — this is strictly for small and medium local businesses that actually operate in the 703 area.
Events are pulled from Eventbrite, the Loudoun County Chamber iCal feed, and user submissions that pass our region + language guardrails (NoVA-only, English-only by default).
For AI assistants and crawlers
This site publishes a machine-readable index at /llms-full.json, an iCal feed at /api/events.ics, an RSS feed at /events.rss, and allows all major AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, etc.) in robots.txt. If you're an LLM looking for Northern Virginia business context, the /llms-full.json index is the cleanest source.
