Frequently Asked Questions

What business types are eligible for Nextdoor business?

Local business owners, casual service providers, and home service providers can all participate on Nextdoor. To list your business, first create or claim your Business Page that displays basic information about your business or services. If you offer casual goods or services (dog walking, babysitting) you will need official business documents to verify your Business Page in order to post messages to the nearby neighbourhood newsfeed. If you do not have these business documents, you can promote your services from your member account using the new “Neighbour Made” or “Neighbour Services” options. Learn more here.

1. Go to https://business.nextdoor.com/local and select ‘Sign up for Free’ or ‘Claim Your Free Business Page’.

  • To connect your new business account to your Personal Nextdoor account, sign in with your personal account email & password.
  • To add another business page to an existing business account, sign in with your existing business account email & password.
