Descriptiontext

TeleListas.net is a Brazilian web and mobile business directory founded in 1994, headquartered in Rio de Janeiro. The platform enables consumers to discover local service providers through search by activity type and geographic location across multiple Brazilian cities, including Salvador, Goiânia, Rio de Janeiro, Vitória, Brasília, Recife, and Cuiabá. The directory spans a horizontal set of SMB service categories such as pest control, moving services, legal services, air conditioning maintenance, plumbing, and accounting, and supports both free self-serve listings and promoted/featured placement at the top of search results pages.

The platform is built on a conventional web-based directory architecture with responsive design, hierarchical category navigation, and location-based discovery. Businesses manage their own listings and can pay for enhanced visibility through featured placement (logos and highlighted content). Distribution is online-only and self-serve, relying primarily on organic SEO traffic from long-tail location-and-category queries rather than outbound sales.

The revenue model combines recurring fees from featured/promoted business listings with a digital marketing services layer (under the "linkMercado" brand) that offers Google Ads and Facebook Ads campaign management plus website/landing page development and hosting to listed SMBs. Customers are split between end consumers (local service seekers, free) and the SMBs (paying segment), with SMB customer concentration sitting in the long tail across micro and small businesses across Brazil. No revenue, funding, M&A, or leadership data is disclosed in available source material.
