Common questions
How do I add my business to 806 Connect?+
Fill out the form on this page. It asks for your business name, category, address (or the area you serve, if you have no storefront), phone, website, hours, a short description and links to your photos. It takes a few minutes, costs nothing, and most listings are reviewed and published within one to two days.
Can I list a business that has no storefront?+
Yes. Pop-up shops, farmers-market and craft-fair booths, home-based businesses, mobile services and side businesses all belong here. On the form, pick "No storefront" and tell us the area you serve instead of an address, plus where people can find you if you like. Your listing shows the area you serve, with no map and no Directions button, and your home address is never asked for. Food trucks have their own page at /food-trucks/add.
Is getting listed on 806 Connect free?+
Yes, and there is no credit card step. A free listing carries your name, address and phone, hours, website, social links, up to ten photos, unlimited deals and specials, review-request tools, and, once you claim it, inquiries emailed to you as they arrive. Paid upgrades are separate and optional.
Does being listed mean 806 Connect recommends my business?+
No. Being listed is not an endorsement, and 806 Connect does not check licenses, insurance or quality. No one can pay to rank higher in search or on the Explore and category pages, and every paid spot says it is paid. 806 Pro is a separate service, by application; a free listing does not lead to it.
How long does it take for my listing to go live?+
One to two days is typical. A person reads every submission before it publishes, which is what keeps duplicate and made-up listings out of the directory. Your text is tidied to fit the listing page, with plain paragraphs and a short tagline, so look it over once it is live.
Which towns and categories does the directory cover?+
Lubbock and the surrounding 806. Beyond Lubbock the directory already carries listings in Plainview, Levelland, Brownfield, Lamesa, Slaton, Post, Tahoka, Wolfforth, Idalou and Shallowater, across categories that run from restaurants and home services to health, retail, churches and nonprofits. If your town is in the 806, it belongs here.
Can I manage the listing myself after it publishes?+
Yes. Once it is live, claim it from the Claim page. If your email is on the same domain as your business website, a 6-digit code gets you in right away; otherwise a person on our team reviews the claim. If your business is already in the directory, skip this form and claim the existing listing instead. Claiming opens an owner dashboard where you update hours, photos and the description, post deals and specials, reply to reviews, and get the inquiries your listing brings in by email.
