By adding your business listing you are agreeing to receive updates about this service, future paid service enhancements such as enhanced listings or offers of sponsorship, as well as insights and special offers from Bluehoop Digital – the local web team behind this website.
We reserve the right to reject listings that are out of the area, where logos or images do not meet quality requirements or other reasons at our own discretion.
Are there any special rules that you need to be aware of?
Your location
We are responsible for making sure the listings on this website are accurate and of high quality. To achieve this, we need to make sure that the businesses or group listed are located in Ilkley and nearby areas. This includes places like Addingham and Ben Rhydding, and even extends to areas a bit farther away like Silsden, Skipton, and Otley.
We reserve the right to decline listings for reasons such as being located outside the designated area, images or descriptions not meeting quality standards or any other grounds that we determine at our own discretion.
Images
Business logos should be in a square format and about 500px by 500px and less than 1MB in size.
Gallery images can be any orientation but must be smaller than 1000px by 1000px and less than 1MB in size.
If you don’t have access to specialist image software such as Photoshop or use an online service like Canva, you might be able to resize large images using a free online service such as Bulk Resize Photos.
Adding, editing or claiming listings
When you add, edit or claim a listing you will need our approval before your updates (or claim) go live. This is because we need to check that your listing meets our criteria in terms of location, type, content and images.
During busy times, it might take up to a week for us to approve your changes and for your updates to go live. We reserve the right to make changes to your listing content.
