Businesses, Claim Your Listings for Free

Woodstock-Towne Lake Patch has one of the best business directories on the net, so claim your free listing to update photos and other information on our site.

When  a little more than a year ago, our team went door-to-door taking photos and gathering information to create a comprehensive directory of local places. Of course, the landscape of our community is constantly changing as businesses open, close, move and expand.

The best way to keep our business directory vibrant, accurate and up to date is if it's managed by you—our local business owners.

If you own a business in Woodstock-Towne Lake, you can claim your listing for free. Once you do so, you'll be able to add additional details, post new photos and update the existing information on your page in case your services or hours change.

Here's how to claim and manage your listing:

  • Once you've found and selected your listing, look for the Claim it! link under the photos. If there aren't any photos, the link will be near the top of the right side of the listing.
  • We’ll ask you for your name, your role at the company, a phone number and whether you’re authorized to represent the organization on Patch.
  • Within a few days, someone from Patch should contact you to verify your authenticity, and then you'll be approved as the business owner.
  • Once approved, you'll have a "Manage Your Listing" button on the top of your Places page. Click the button to be taken to your dashboard.
  • From the dashboard, you can make changes and updates to your listing. On the left side of the dashboard you have several options: Your Stats, Edit Listing, Manage Photos & Media, Reviews, Free Tools, Paid Tools and Contact Sales.
