For customers

  • What is Nir-U?
    Nir-U is a local services directory for the Philippines. We bring together salons, dentists, clinics, repair shops, and other small businesses in one searchable place so you can find what's near you and reach them directly.
  • How do I find businesses near me?
    Use the Search page and either grant location access or pick a location from the chip in the header. Results are ranked by distance and verification.
  • Do I need to sign up to use Nir-U?
    No — browsing, searching, and tapping to call are all anonymous. Accounts are only for business owners managing their listings.
  • How do I know a business is real?
    Verified businesses carry a ✓ badge. We're running manual verification during launch — verified listings have had their phone number, location, and ownership confirmed by our team.

For business owners

  • How much does it cost to be listed?
    Listing is free. Verification is also free during our launch window — verified early adopters additionally get a Founding Partner badge featured on their listing.
  • How do I claim my business?
    Open your listing on Nir-U, scroll to the bottom, and tap "Claim this listing." You can also email hello@nir-u.com with your business name + phone number and we'll set you up.
  • What can I do once I've claimed my listing?
    Add your services with prices and photos, set your location pin, run time-limited promos, and respond to customers. Everything updates on your public page immediately.
  • Will my business show up on Google?
    Yes. Every Nir-U listing has clean URLs, semantic markup, and Schema.org LocalBusiness data, and is included in our sitemap submitted to search engines. Indexing timing depends on the search engine.

Privacy + data

  • What information about me does Nir-U collect?
    For anonymous visitors: page analytics (Vercel Analytics) and a cookie that remembers the location you picked. No personal data is collected unless you sign in or send us an email.
  • Can I get my business removed from Nir-U?
    Yes — email hello@nir-u.com with the listing URL and we'll remove it within a few business days.
