Listing Requirements

We review all submissions. We have very few and very simple listing requirements:

  • Physically located within McHenry County, Illinois (or within a city that is partially within McHenry County). Not sure what those are? Check the Cities list in the main navigation.
  • Physical address – all listings are tied to a physical address. Even if you have a home-based business that does not receive customers or clients, your listing requires an address. You may provide information that informs how you service clients (i.e., online, at client location, etc.).

Similar to spammer accounts, please, if you don’t meet these requirements, don’t waste your time trying to submit your listing. Your city, state, and/or country won’t even be selectable, and we review all submissions before they are approved and posted.
