How to search for a business on nichemarket

How to search for a business on nichemarket

Our primary goal at nichemarket is to help you nicheseekers and nichemarketers find local businesses and service providers which often times is hard to do with traditional search engines currently available today. Local businesses are often marginalised or are not sure how to get listed on search engines like Google. Add to the fact that the continued competitive nature for search result spots in both the organic and the paid search space makes it even harder for the local vendor to get started or reach online users in his area.

In order to help both nicheseekers and nichemarketers find local businesses, we've developed our own custom search engine.

How to access search for a business

Our "Business search" is located in of the site. To start searching for a business all you need to do is navigate to and click on the green magnifying glass which should activate our business search option.

How to search for a business

Once you've activated search you should have the following displayed 

  • Business category drop-down menu (optional)
  • Search query field
  • Additional search filter - (optional)
  • Search button/icon
  • Close search

You can use our search to look for a specific business by name or by the service they render. Then click search.
