Nextdoor for Local Businesses

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 neighborhood newsfeed. If you do not have these business documents, you can promote your services from your member account using the new “Neighbor Made” or “Neighbor Services” options. Learn more here.

Nextdoor is the perfect place for businesses to connect with their most valuable, engaged, local clients. Share special offers and exclusive announcements to help connect directly with customers. Use this help article to quickly find tips on everything you need, from getting started to running ads on Nextdoor. Nextdoor Business Pages help local brands connect to their surrounding community and build their local reputation. Business owners can create Nextdoor Business Pages to advertise local deals, post to their neighborhoods, sell gift cards, share take out links, and most importantly, engage with their nearby customers, their neighbors.

To join Nextdoor business, you’ll need to claim your Business Page. You must be an owner, employee, or other authorized representative of the business.

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

2. Create an account or log in to an existing one to manage your new business page with the same email and password. If you are claiming a business page on your mobile device, we will automatically use the account you are currently signed in to.

3. Connecting your business and personal neighborhood accounts will allow you to switch between both accounts without having to log out. Do not connect your personal Nextdoor account with your business account if you plan on sharing your business login information with authorized employees.

• To create a new business account (not connected to your personal account), select ’Sign Up’ under the green login button.
• 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.

Business information on Nextdoor comes from 3rd party public data, or Nextdoor members who’ve created a recommendation or comment for your business and are unable to find an existing page. If you’re unable to find your business page, please make sure when you search for your business that you use both the name and location.

If you don’t see your business page, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the blue link that says ‘Not here? Create your business page.’

Businesses can post to the neighborhood newsfeed to share updates, crowdsource for requests and feedback, and draw in new customers. To post on Nextdoor as a business, follow the steps below, & check out our resource on Business Post tips & best practices:
