About Shortlist
We do the filtering. You make fewer calls.
Shortlist publishes short, checked lists of local businesses: three to five per service and city, each with a clear reason it is there.
01 Why
Why short lists
Most directories show fifty names and leave the work to you. We would rather compare the records and check what can be checked ourselves, then tell you where to start. A short list is only useful if it is honest, so the rules below come first.
02 Rules
Three rules we keep
- Position is never for saleNot the place, not the order. How we make money.
- Every list shows its workingHow many we compared, who was selected, and when it was updated. How selection works.
- Mistakes are fixed in publicEvery correction is checked against a second source. Corrections.
03 Team
Who we are
A small editorial team. Editors never sell advertising, and sales staff never see a list before it is published.
