Editorial policy

We want UK Top Websites to be a directory people can trust. This is how we decide what to list, where our information comes from, and how we keep it accurate and fair.

What we list

Real, operating UK businesses and organisations, organised by town, county and category.
Every entry is a genuine business — we never publish invented or placeholder listings to pad the directory.
We may decline or remove listings for illegal, unsafe, misleading or purely spam activity.

Where information comes from

Business owners who add and verify their own listing.
Openly-licensed public data, including OpenStreetMap, for real named businesses.
Public information such as opening hours and contact details, marked as verified once confirmed.

Accuracy & verification

Claimed listings are managed by the business itself, which keeps details current.
A "verified" marker means we have confirmed key details; an unverified listing may be less complete.
We show when a listing was last updated so you can judge how current it is.

Reviews

Reviews are from real visitors. We do not write, buy or sell reviews.
We remove reviews that are fake, spam, abusive, or an obvious conflict of interest.
A business cannot pay to change its star rating.

Advertising & independence

Some businesses pay for Featured or Super Premium placement, which is always clearly labelled. Paid placement affects position only — never a business's reviews, star rating or the facts we show. Editorial content and rankings are not for sale.

Corrections & contact

Spotted something wrong, out of date, or a listing that should not be here? Let us know and we will correct or remove it promptly.
