Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best free business listing site in Jamaica?+

The essential first step is Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) for Google Maps visibility. Pairing your Google listing with a dedicated page on Hobrva gives your business structured parish SEO, opening hours, verified badges, and direct WhatsApp links.

How do I get my business verified on Hobrva?+

Submit your business details via our registration portal. Upload your TRN, Business Name Certificate from the Companies Office of Jamaica (COJ), or utility bill to receive a parish-verified trust badge.

Are roadside advertisements and Instagram pages enough for Jamaican businesses?+

While roadside boards and Instagram pages attract casual local passersby, they cannot be searched by Google indexers for specific parish services. A dedicated webpage allows customers searching for your specific trade (e.g. 'mechanic in Spanish Town' or 'caterer in Montego Bay') to discover your phone, prices, and location.
