Why owners list with us
"Being on a curated guide instead of a giant listing site means people actually find us. Bookings went up within the first month."
"Setup was painless. I sent my details, they called to agree a price, and we were live the same week."
"I uploaded a photo of our printed price list and that was it. No fiddly menu builder to wrestle with."

A guide to the businesses worth knowing.
MainStreet started with a simple frustration: the big listing sites are crowded, cluttered, and full of places that closed years ago. We wanted a directory that felt more like a recommendation from a neighbour — short, current, and trustworthy.
So we built one with a human in the loop. Every business that wants to appear sends us their details and waits for review. We check it over, talk to the owner, and agree on a fair listing rate before anything goes live. The result is a guide that stays clean because someone is actually tending it.
What we care about
Curated, not crowded
Every listing is reviewed by hand, so the guide stays useful instead of endless.
Fair to owners
Pricing is agreed per business — no rigid tiers, no surprises.
Simple to join
One form, one conversation, and you're live. No dashboards to fight with.
How a listing works
Businesses share the same listing format whatever their type. A restaurant can type out its menu or upload a photo of it; a shop can list services and prices the same way. There's a photo gallery, a description, contact details, and a detail page — all in one consistent layout that's easy to scan.
