About Chicago Neighbor Biz

Chicago Neighbor Biz lists businesses in Chicago and those serving its neighborhoods. A basic listing costs nothing. A person checks each one before it is published.

Within a neighborhood and category, businesses are alphabetical; the order is never sold. Owners can claim listings to keep them right. Removal requests are honoured once confirmed.

What we do not do

We do not rank businesses.
We show no ratings we did not collect.
We promise no customers or calls.

Where our listings come from

Businesses add themselves with “Add your business”, and every one is checked by a person before it shows. Other listings come from public records. We copy only the name, address, phone and the facts the record gives. We never add ratings or reviews, and we never write descriptions for them.

A listing from public records is marked “Not yet claimed”. Its owner can claim it to keep it up to date, or ask us to remove it. Removal requests are done within two business days.
