Teesside Business Hub helps local people discover local businesses. We give a limited number of businesses in each category a professional profile, featured placement on our website and promotion across our Facebook and Instagram pages.
“We believe in quality, not quantity. We work with a limited number of businesses in each category so we can build genuine relationships and give our members proper attention.”
Any legitimate business that serves Teesside and the surrounding area — trades, shops, salons, garages, professional services, hospitality and more. Sole traders are welcome.
Your own page with logo, cover photo, description, services, opening hours, service areas, gallery, FAQs, and direct links to call, email, book or visit your website and social media.
Paid promotion is always labelled Featured or Sponsored. Verification is separate and can’t be bought. We never promise enquiries, sales or search rankings.
Advertisers appear as Featured on their category page and in matching directory searches, clearly labelled as paid promotion. Some packages include a homepage feature where agreed.
Promotion is delivered across our Facebook and Instagram pages according to a campaign schedule agreed with you before your package starts. The number of posts each month is shown on each package and in your advertising terms.
Every listed business can collect genuine customer reviews on its profile. We can also supply a review card: customers tap it with their phone (or scan its QR code) to go straight to your review page. Ask us about pricing. Reviews are independently moderated and can’t be bought or removed — which is what makes them worth having.
We normally work with one or two paid advertisers in each category. That keeps our promotion focused, avoids overcrowding and means each business gets proper attention. If a category is full, you can join the waiting list.
