How it works

Last updated: September 01, 2026

How JHILY Works

A directory of businesses and websites, with honest reviews from the people who used them — and a powerful set of tools for the owners who run them.

I want to read or leave a review

For anyone looking something up. Free, and always will be. An account is needed only to write.

1

Search, or paste a web address

Type a name to search what is already here. Paste a website address instead and, if that site is not listed yet, a page for it is created straight away — its name, description and icon read from the site itself. If it already exists you are taken to it rather than making a second copy.

2

Read what other people found

Every listing shows its rating, its reviews, and the owner's replies where they have written any. A listing marked Unclaimed has no owner here yet — the reviews on it are still real, but nobody from the business has answered them.

3

Write your own

Create a free account and say what happened. A review is checked before it appears, and the business it is about cannot delete it — they can reply, and they can report it if it breaks the rules, which a person then reads.

I run one of these businesses

Your business may already be listed. Taking it over costs nothing.

1

Find your listing

Search for your name, or paste your website address to have the listing created. Either way you end up on your own page.

2

Claim it

Press "Is this your business?" on the listing and tell us how you are connected to it. Somebody reads every claim, so this is not instant — but nothing is charged, and you can say which plan interests you without committing to it.

3

Once it is approved

The listing becomes yours to edit — description, contact details, opening hours, logo — and you can reply to every review on it. You start on Business Free, which costs nothing and does not expire.

The tools a plan can include

Which of these you get, and how many of each, depends on your plan.

Review Replies

Connect with your customers directly.

Job Circulars at a time

Total job circulars a business may have posted at once.

Tasks at a time

How many tasks can be open at once. Completed tasks free up a slot.

* At a time: counts what exists right now — finish a task or end an offer and the slot comes back.
* Per month: resets on the 1st, on its own.

Being seen higher up

The numbered places at the top of the home page, and the featured block, are bought for a period of time. They are not part of any plan, and no subscription moves a business up the page. Every paid place is marked, so a reader can always tell what was bought from what was earned.

Ratings and reviews are never affected by what anyone pays.
