Directory with The Oxford Magazine
Create a lasting presence for your organisation with a dedicated directory profile that helps readers discover trusted businesses, venues, professionals and organisations across Oxfordshire.
Why choose a directory listing?
The Oxford Magazine is an independent, free-to-access platform covering life across Oxfordshire — from culture and business to events, public affairs, and the everyday stories that shape local communities.
Our directory helps readers discover trusted businesses, organisations, venues and professionals through dedicated profiles designed to showcase who you are, what you do and how people can connect with you.
Unlike temporary promotions, a directory listing provides an ongoing presence that remains visible, searchable and discoverable throughout your annual subscription. It creates a trusted profile that supports your wider visibility across The Oxford Magazine.

More than just a listing
1. Get a good-looking listing
We work with you to create a listing for your business that showcases your products or services. You tell us your story, and we’ll help you tell it to our engaged audience of people who live, work and play in Oxfordshire. And with over 100+ templates to work with, say goodbye to the one-size-fits-all pages.
2. Feature in non-branded stories
From our ever-popular “best of…” lists to gorgeous home and garden inspiration, seasonal recipes and down-to-earth guides, our editors regularly craft non-branded stories to showcase what’s on offer locally. A directory listing offers the opportunity to be included for free in these non-branded stories†.

3. Show up where it matters
We don’t promise to get your directory listing in front of “billions of potential customers”. That’s not what we’re about. Instead, we focus on driving engagement by making sure your listing appears where it matters; where it resonates – with people who live, work or play in Oxfordshire†.
†Inclusion in a non-branded story is at the sole discretion of the editor and is not guaranteed. Additional content creation and social amplification charges may be applicable. This will be discussed and agreed upon beforehand.
