For Business Owners

Claim Your Listing

Is your business already on JustAbuja? Take ownership of your listing to update details, respond to feedback, and stand out from the competition.

Why Claim Your Listing?

JustAbuja features over 0 places across Abuja. Many of these listings were added from public sources — which means your business may already appear in our directory, but without your direct input. The information might be incomplete, outdated, or missing altogether.

Claiming your listing changes that. It gives you direct control over how your business appears to thousands of potential customers who are actively searching for businesses like yours. Think of it as your digital storefront — and right now, someone else might be arranging the furniture.

The process is free, straightforward, and typically completed within a few business days. Once verified, you will never have to worry about outdated information driving customers away again.

What You Get With a Claimed Listing

A claimed listing unlocks powerful tools that help your business attract more customers and build trust.

You can update: Business name, address, and location on the map Phone numbers, email, and website URL Opening hours and holiday schedules Business description and service details

Photo Gallery Management

Upload high-quality images of your business — your storefront, interior, products, menu, and team. Listings with professional photos receive significantly more views and engagement than those with generic placeholders.

Photo tips: Well-lit exterior shots help customers recognise your location Interior images build trust before the first visit Product or menu photos drive specific interest

Verified Badge & Trust Signal

Claimed listings display a prominent verified badge that tells visitors the information has been confirmed by the business owner. This is one of the strongest trust signals in local search — people are more likely to contact a verified business than an unclaimed listing.

Common Questions

Need more help? Visit our FAQ page or get in touch.

01 Is claiming a listing free?

Yes. Claiming and managing your basic listing is completely free, and always will be. We may offer optional premium features in the future — such as promoted placement or enhanced profiles — but basic listing ownership and editing costs nothing.

02 How long does verification take?

Typically 2 to 5 business days. Most claims are reviewed within 48 hours. If we need additional information, we will contact you by email. Complex cases involving multiple stakeholders may take slightly longer.

03 What counts as proof of ownership?

We accept several forms of verification: CAC (Corporate Affairs Commission) registration documents, an email sent from the business domain, a phone call verification to the listed business number, your name on the business website as owner or manager, or any official documentation linking you to the business.

04 Can I claim a listing for someone else?

Yes, if you are an authorised representative, manager, or marketing agent for the business. You will need to provide proof of your professional relationship with the business — such as a letter of authorisation, company email, or contract.

05 What if my business is not listed yet?

You can submit your business through our Submit a Place page first. Once our team reviews and publishes the listing, you can then claim it using this form. You can even submit and claim in parallel to speed things up.

06 Can a claimed listing be removed?

Yes. If you are the verified owner of a listing, you can request its removal at any time. Simply contact us with your claim reference, and we will process the removal within 48 hours.

07 What happens if two people claim the same listing?

We verify each claim independently. If we receive competing claims, we will contact both parties and may request additional documentation to establish the rightful owner. Our editorial team makes the final decision based on the evidence provided.

08 Can I transfer ownership of a claimed listing?

Yes. If your business has changed hands or you need to transfer management access to a new contact, email us with details from both parties and we will facilitate the transfer.

09 Will claiming improve my ranking in search results?

Claimed listings with complete, accurate information and high-quality photos tend to appear more prominently in our directory. While claiming alone does not guarantee a higher position, the improvements you make to your listing directly affect its visibility.

10 I want to do more than just claim — can I advertise?

Absolutely. Claiming is the first step. Once you own your listing, you can explore our advertising options for even greater visibility — including featured placement, banner ads, and sponsored content.
