“I built First in Dallas because I wanted a real local resource. Not an algorithm, not a national platform with a city filter. Just Dallas, curated by people who actually live here. The Business Portal is how local businesses become part of that.”
Said Benchaqroun
Founder, First in Dallas
Questions owners ask us.
My business already shows up on Google. Why do I need this?+
Google lists you next to every competitor and an algorithm decides who wins. First in Dallas is curated and local: a verified listing that ranks at the top of its category, a do-follow backlink that improves your Google ranking too, and a newsletter audience of 32,000+ locals that no search engine gives you.
What if my business is already listed here?+
We pre-list many Dallas businesses from public sources. Create an account, find your listing, and claim it. Our team verifies you are the owner and hands you the keys, usually within one business day.
How long until my listing is live?+
Building it takes about 10 minutes: photos, hours, description, contact info. It goes live after a quick human review, usually within one business day.
What are deals and how do they work?+
Deals are offers you publish from your dashboard: a happy hour, a first-visit discount, a seasonal promotion. They appear on firstindallas.com and rotate into the newsletter, and you track views and claims in your analytics.
Do I need a website to join?+
No. For many businesses the listing is their home on the web: photos, hours, phone, directions, and deals in one place. If you do have a website, your listing links to it with a do-follow backlink.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Premium is month to month and you can cancel from your dashboard in two clicks. Your listing stays in the directory on the basic tier.
