It creates business pages automatically, and owners can claim theirs for free. Nextdoor uses AI to summarise neighbour recommendations on its own pages, but we found no official statement that ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity use Nextdoor data.

If yours exists, use the claim link near the top of the page. 2. **Add it if it's missing.** Choose your profile icon, then Add business page. If an unclaimed page matches, Nextdoor offers to let you claim it. 3. **Fix the details.** Select Edit at the top of the page to change the logo, name, bio, categories, contact details and photos. 4. **Set categories and area.** Add up to 10 categories and a precise address or service area. P.O. boxes aren't accepted. ## Keep these fields identical to your Google profile - Business name, exactly as you trade, with no slogans or offers - Address or service area - Phone number - Website - Opening hours - Categories ## How Damex handles it A specialist checks your Nextdoor page against your Google profile and, from Essentials up, rechecks it each month for a name, phone, hours or service area that has drifted. Recommendations on Nextdoor come from verified neighbours, so we never ask staff or friends to pose as customers. ## FAQs ### Is a Nextdoor business page free? Yes. Nextdoor describes the business page as free, with unlimited free posts. Ads are a separate, paid product. ### Can I hide my street address? Yes. If you hide it, neighbours see only the city of your address, which suits businesses that work at customers' homes. ### Does ChatGPT use Nextdoor recommendations? We found no official statement from Nextdoor or OpenAI saying so. Nextdoor's AI features summarise recommendations inside Nextdoor itself. ## Sources 1.
