FAQ

Common questions about the NOVA business directory

What counts as a NOVA small business?

Any independently-owned business operating in the 703 area code that is not a national chain. That covers local restaurants, dentists, plumbers, lawyers, marketing agencies, retail shops, fitness studios, and every other category of Northern Virginia small business you can think of.

Is the NOVA small business directory free to use?

Yes for both neighbors and business owners. Browsing, searching, and contacting a NOVA small business is free. Claiming your free profile is free. The directory makes money only when owners choose to upgrade to paid plans for better placement.

How do I add my NOVA small business?

Click "Claim your business" at the top of this page, search for your NOVA small business by name, and verify ownership through a confirmation email at your business domain. Takes about two minutes.

Are NOVA small businesses verified?

Imported records are screened for Northern Virginia and category fit, but that is not owner verification. Profiles marked Owner verified completed the directory claim process. Confirm services, licensing when applicable, and availability directly with the business.

How is this different from Google Maps or Yelp?

Google Maps and Yelp focus on national chains and user reviews. The NOVA small business directory is built specifically for independent Northern Virginia small businesses, with structured categories, city-level filtering, and a no-middleman contact path.
