About

Cape Town Local is Cape Town’s premier business directory, paired with real local news and practical guides. We help residents and visitors find trusted businesses across the West Coast, and we help those businesses get found.

How the site is laid out

Everything is organised so you can move from a broad interest to a specific business in a couple of clicks.

  • The Directory is the heart of the site. It is built from vertical categories, and each vertical holds its own silos, for example Sports leads into Golf and Padel. We promote featured businesses throughout the directory so the best of each silo is easy to spot.
  • Local News is its own section. You can read real, local news written for this community, and businesses can advertise on the news pages and across the rest of the site.
  • All Categories lays out every vertical and its silos on one page, so you can browse straight to whatever you are looking for.
  • Guides sit alongside the directory to give you the practical local knowledge behind each category.

If you cannot find what you need, the Contact page reaches us directly, and our Legal pages cover how everything works.

List your business

Getting listed is built to be fair. We offer a free-forever tier so any local business can be found, and a Premium tier for businesses that want to stand out. Every new listing also includes Premium features free for the first 30 days.

Free

R0 forever

  • A real, findable listing in the directory
  • Your category, contact details and location
  • Premium features free for your first 30 days

At R99 per month, or R990 per year, Premium costs a fraction of comparable directories, which typically range from R350 to R990 per month to list a business.

Advertise with us

Beyond listings, you can advertise across the site, on the homepage, throughout the directory and on the news pages. Placements are sold per position, and every campaign is measured. See the Advertise page for the slot positions and to request rates.
