How to List Your Business
on
Foursquare
Foursquare is the original location-based app that encouraged users to "check in" at small businesses. You want to make sure that Foursquare's millions of users find your correct business name, address and phone number when they visit or search for your location. In addition, claiming your business listing on Foursquare gives you access to information about people who have visited your location and addition tools you can use to add photos, tips or specials to your listing.

Visit the Foursquare for Business page at business.foursquare.com. Enter your business name and location in the search bar to see if Foursquare already has a listing for your business.

If your business is already listed, click the button "Claim My Business." If your listing is not found, click "Add My Business."
