About the Grand Rapids Business Directory

The HEREGrandRapids Business Directory connects Grand Rapids and Kent County residents with the local companies, service providers, and Greater Grand Rapids area businesses that keep our community running. Whether you’re looking for a contractor in Wyoming or Kentwood, a restaurant in downtown Grand Rapids, a shop on the West Side, or a professional service in East Grand Rapids, Walker, Grandville, or Caledonia, this directory makes it easy to find them — and easy for businesses to be found.

Use the search box at the top of this page to look up a business by name. If you know the kind of company you’re looking for but not a specific name, use the category filter to browse listings within a specific industry — from office furniture and design suppliers to local restaurants, accounting firms, real estate offices, and contractors. The location filter narrows results to a specific city or neighborhood inside Kent County or the wider West Michigan region.

Who’s listed here

Listings come from local business owners, the Grand Rapids Chamber partner network, and businesses that have purchased a HEREmention SEO listing or a Business Directory subscription on HEREGrandRapids.com. Featured and Spotlight listings appear at the top of the directory and include enhanced placement, custom imagery, and direct links to the business website. Standard listings are free and include the business name, category, location, and a short description.

Every listing is reviewed by the HEREGrandRapids editorial team before it goes live. We confirm the business is real, that the contact information matches what’s on the company’s own website, and that the category accurately describes the services offered. If you spot a listing that’s out of date or incorrect, you can flag it directly from the listing page or contact our team at /contact/.

How to add your business

If your business serves Grand Rapids, Kent County, or the wider West Michigan region and you’re not yet listed, head to /add-business/ to submit your free basic listing. The basic listing is always free and includes your business name, category, address, phone number, website, and a short description. You can upgrade at any time to a Featured or Spotlight tier for enhanced visibility, custom imagery, priority placement in search results, and inclusion in our weekly New Businesses in Grand Rapids roundup.

For larger businesses, agencies, real estate brokerages, dealer groups, or multi-location operations, the HEREGrandRapids team also offers Business Spotlights, Press Releases, Game Day sponsorships, and Section Sponsorships. Visit /advertise/ to see all the ways your company can show up across HEREGrandRapids.

Why the directory matters for Grand Rapids

Kent County’s economy runs on a mix of office furniture and advanced manufacturing (Steelcase, Haworth nearby, and a deep supplier base), consumer products and retail (Meijer headquartered in Walker, Amway in Ada), healthcare (Corewell Health West, Trinity Health Grand Rapids, the broader regional medical mile downtown), higher education (Grand Rapids Valley State University, Calvin University, Aquinas, GRCC), small-business retail, hospitality, and a fast-growing professional services sector connected to the US-131 and I-96 corridors. The HEREGrandRapids Business Directory is a single, searchable place where all of these companies — from a Fortune 500 employer to a one-person home repair business in Wyoming — can be found by the people who need them.

If you’re new to Grand Rapids, the directory is a fast way to find the local equivalent of services you used somewhere else. If you’re a long-time resident, it surfaces businesses you may not have known existed in your own neighborhood. And if you’re a business owner, getting listed costs nothing and puts you in front of the readers who already trust HEREGrandRapids for their daily local news.

Tips for searching

• Search by business name — type any portion of the company’s name into the search bar. Results update as you type.
• Browse by category — open the category dropdown to see every distinct category currently in the directory. Pick one to filter the results.
• Filter by location — use the location dropdown to narrow to a specific city or town within Kent County or the wider West Michigan region.
• Combine filters — keyword + category + location all stack. For example: search “auto” with category “Automotive” and location “Kentwood” to find auto shops in that area.
• Click any card to open the full business listing with website link, phone number, hours, and the company’s full pitch.
• Reset — the Clear button empties all three filters and shows every listing again.

Questions or corrections

If a listing has wrong information, an outdated phone number, a closed business that’s still showing up, or anything else that needs editorial attention, contact the HEREGrandRapids team at /contact/ or email [email protected]. We respond to directory corrections within one business day.
