Request a Free Listing

Estimated time: 4 minAudience: Business Owners

Request a free Funafuna listing when your business is not already online — submit the form and our team follows up on WhatsApp or phone.

Use Get Listed when you cannot find your business on Funafuna. Use Claim your business when your listing already exists and you want to manage it.

Already listed? Start at /business. Not listed yet? Start at /getlisted.

Steps

  1. Go to /getlisted

    Open Get Listed if your business is not already on Funafuna. This is the free intake form for new listings — different from claiming an existing page.

    Funafuna helps local customers find businesses through search, maps, and WhatsApp. No payment is required to apply.

  4. Use WhatsApp when possible

    Add your business WhatsApp number if it is different from your main phone. Funafuna uses WhatsApp for follow-up when you are setting up your listing, and many customers contact businesses on WhatsApp from search results.

    The form notes that at least one phone or WhatsApp number is required — we prioritise WhatsApp when you provide it.

  6. Wait for follow-up

    You are on the list — the Funafuna team will reach out on WhatsApp or phone to confirm details and finish setting up your listing.

    Once your profile is live, search for your business on Funafuna. If it appears, you can claim it to manage updates yourself.

FAQs

Is it free to request a listing?

Yes. Requesting a listing through Get Listed is free. There is no payment required to apply.

What if my business is already listed?

Search on /business first. If your business is already on Funafuna, use Manage My Business to claim your existing page instead of submitting a new listing request.

Do I need WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is not strictly required, but at least one phone or WhatsApp number is needed. WhatsApp is recommended because Funafuna uses it for follow-up and many customers prefer to message businesses there.

Can bus operators use this form?

Intercity bus operators should use the dedicated bus partner registration linked on the Get Listed page instead of the general listing form.

How long does it take to hear back?

Our team follows up on WhatsApp or phone as soon as possible after you submit. Timing varies by volume — keep your phone and WhatsApp available.

Can I submit more than one business?

Yes. After you see Request received, tap Submit another business to send a separate request for another location or brand.
