Hi All. We just wanted to let you know that we've updated the design of the FreeIndex review gadget, giving it an updated 2019 look and feel. If you already have one on your website, you may want to check to see that it's looking ok. You won't need to change any code from the previous version.

It's no secret that the businesses that benefit the most from...

Dear FreeIndex Members - Happy new year. We have made the decision that Premium Members will now feature above Non-Premium Members on all local listings pages and in local searches (in your primary category). That is where a user has specified a location and a category. e.g. 'Norwich Plumbers'. However everyone's 'Listing Position' for national pages e.g. 'plumbers' will not change and businesses will still be listed in review ranking order. We have made this decision to ensure that...
