With just one week live in Grosse Pointe, I want to tell all of the local business owners a secret: you can claim your directory listing and update it as you wish.

This means you can control what potential customers see and know about your business, school, office or organization. You can log into Grosse Pointe Patch, update photos, contact information or hours of operation. 

Some Grosse Pointe business owners have already claimed their listing and updated the information. Why not be next?

The information in our comprehensive directory is what a team of Patchers were able to gather on foot with notebooks and cameras. Now, you can change the information as frequently as you'd like at your convenience, and its free. Seriously. 

For restaurants, this means a menu change can be posted; for stores, it means seasonal hours can be updated. Personalize your image and information for potential customers or even those regulars who come in every night.

Our goal is to include every business, nonprofit group, religious institution, school, government office, doctor, etc. If by chance, you cannot find your listing, you can add it yourself to the site at the bottom of the directory page. 

We want the site to be interactive for the community and hope you'll take advantage of the directory. And the volunteer listings. And the Q & A feature. And on and on.

Grosse Pointe Patch is all about you, so get involved, comment on stories and send me your thoughts.
