About Us

    Giving visibility to the people who make your neighborhood work.

    Our Mission

    Give visibility to the small business owner and the independent professional — the electrician, the baker, the plumber, the private tutor — who rarely show up in the big search engines.

    And give the people who live nearby a quick way to discover what exists in their neighborhood, save favorites and take them along anywhere they go.

    Free listings forever

    Built for the neighborhood

    Find the person, not the category

    No behavioral ad tracking

    Our Story

    We are starting in London in 2026 and onboarding our first businesses right now.

    Although we think we know enough about our local area, many businesses, services and independent professionals go unnoticed in conventional search results. PORTAL came precisely to give equal visibility to all activities, without the usual commercial filters of major search engines. And site users get fast access to their favorites on MyPortal and receive notifications on topics they care about, wherever they happen to be.

    PORTAL is live and growing. Every business that signs up and every resident who uses PORTAL today helps build a more connected community.
