You can add your Irish business to AskSpud.ie by creating an account and submitting your listing through the website. Once registered, click Submit a Listing from the main menu or your dashboard, then add your business details, category, town, county, and contact information if you choose a Verified listing.
Every listing is reviewed before going live to help maintain quality and trust across the AskSpud.ie Irish business directory.
Most business listings are reviewed within 24 hours. Every submission is manually checked to make sure it meets AskSpud.ie quality and content standards before being published in the directory.
This helps keep the directory useful for customers searching for trusted Irish businesses by category, county, and location.
A Basic Listing allows your business to appear in the AskSpud.ie directory with essential details such as your business name, category, town, county, short description, and logo or image.
A Verified Listing gives your business a stronger presence by showing your website, phone number, email address, full address, Google Map, fuller business profile, more images, and a Verified Irish Business badge.
Verified listings also appear above basic listings, helping customers find and trust your business more quickly. For many Irish businesses, Verified is the best option when the goal is not just to be listed, but to generate real enquiries.
Yes. Selected businesses may also be featured on AskSpud.com, where Irish places, culture, travel inspiration, and local stories are showcased.
This can give your business additional exposure beyond the main AskSpud.ie business directory and help introduce your brand to a wider audience interested in Ireland and Irish businesses.
A Basic Listing helps your business appear in the directory, but a Verified Listing helps customers actually contact you.
If your website, phone number, email address, and full business details are hidden, some customers will simply move on to another business they can contact more easily. Verified helps your business stand out with more visibility, more trust, and better access for customers who are ready to enquire.
If you are serious about being found in your category or county, Verified gives your business a much stronger chance of turning visibility into real customer enquiries.
Upgrade to VerifiedAfter submitting your business, you can upgrade to a Verified Listing through your AskSpud.ie account or by selecting the Verified option during submission.
Once payment is completed, your upgraded listing will be reviewed and activated, usually within 24 hours. This allows your business listing to show full contact details, a stronger profile, and improved visibility in the AskSpud.ie directory.
