Can I list my business in more than one suburb?
Yes. With our standard listing you can choose up to three suburbs where your business will appear. This is ideal if you service multiple areas of Toowoomba. For example, a cleaning company might list in Rangeville, Newtown, and Harristown to reach more local customers.

This flexibility ensures your listing reflects your real service area and reaches more potential customers.
Why should locals use Buy Local Toowoomba instead of Facebook groups?

It’s purpose-built for finding local services, not just chatting. Plus, every listing supports Toowoomba’s small business community, helping keep money circulating locally.
