A Few Savannah Biz® Facts
2025 was our 20th Anniversary.
Savannah Biz® was originally launched in 2005 as Savannah City Directory. The name was shortened in 2014 to Savannah Directory. In 2019 the name was changed a second time to Savannah Biz to better indicate that it provides business information rather than personal information.
Savannah Biz® provides detailed information about Savannah businesses.
The need for Savannah Biz® was realized through the discussions of a group of local professionals, including an English professor, a feminist writer, and a computer scientist. They concluded that large search engines return results of multiple matches; however, those results do not always return all match-qualified local businesses. The group imagined a better search engine that returns a better, more accurate, list of matching results. That vision remains at the core of today's Savannah Biz® search engine.
The Savannah Biz® listings are open and free to all local businesses, equally; and we encourage readers to "Discover Savannah Businesses, and Support Local."
Thousands of visitors view Savannah Biz® each week; and sometimes thousands in a single day.
Savannah Biz® includes detailed information about local area businesses, such as the business name, tagline, address, address particulars, phone number, special note, and links to the business website as well as links to the related social media accounts.
There's nothing fancy here; but the information can be interesting as well as useful at times, especially for listings of businesses that might otherwise not be found at all.
The Searchbar is easy to use.
A simple keyword search returns a list of matches from our database.
Try typing in a business name, category, product, or service.
The searchbar is also capable of receiving your voice input. Click the microphone icon, and then allow access to your device microphone. Next, speak your keyword. No need to press the search button. The search will begin automatically.
The listings are updated daily.
