… Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a yard on LiveryList?

You can find a yard by starting a search from the homepage, or any of the search areas on the site. You can search by location and select a preferred radius, or you can search by keyword or yard name if you are looking for something specific.

How do I contact the yards on LiveryList?

Each listing has up to date contact details for the yard, as well as direct links to their website and social media pages. If you send an enquiry through the listing using the contact form, this also goes directly to the yard owners email so that they can contact you directly in response to your enquiry.

How do you make sure the yard details are up to date?

Unlike other yard directories who simply copy yard details from other sites, our listings are added and maintained by the yard owners themselves. This means that they have entered all of the information in person. If a listing expires and is not renewed by the yard owner it is removed from the site. Our yard owners are paid advertisers, and as such have an invested interest in keeping their listings up to date.

Why do some listings have less detail than others?

The content of listings will depend on two things- the advertising package selected by the yard owner or manager, and the level of detail they have chosen to share in the advert. This means the content of listings can vary. All listings are required to have a minimum level of information, and many listings you are also able to link directly to the yard website or social media pages. However, on all listings you are able to contact the yard owner directly to request more information.

How do I add a review for a yard on LiveryList?

All Standard and Featured listed yards have the ability for reviews to be submitted, this can be done from the listing page. If you scroll right to the bottom of the listing, you can submit your review score and wording in the 'Add a Review' section. All listings are manually approved prior to publication. This function is not available on Basic listings.

How do I advertise my yard on LiveryList?

If you offer livery, you can add your yard to the site in just a few minutes. Simply click on the 'Add My yard' link and follow the sign-up process. At the end of sign up, if you are satisfied with your listing, payment is made securely via PayPal, and your listing is live right away.

Do you offer free listings?

No. We want our Yard Owners to be invested in their listing. Free listings are often long forgotten about and left with out of date information which is the opposite of what we want to achieve for our yard owners and our users. We do not crib listings off of other sites for this exact reason as you never know what is up to date. We do not want our users trying to contact yards that no longer exist, have changed hands, or that the contact information is incorrect for which we feel would reflect badly upon the livery yards. By paying a small fee, our Yard Owners remember their listing and log in frequently to keep it up to date. We charge only a small amount for our listings which goes towards our costs for the running of the site. This year we've introduced a basic tier listing for just £12 a year which equates to just £1 per month! and even a comprehensive Featured Listing works out to just £1.50 per week!! The remainder of the site costs is funded by our wonderful advertisers who are all hand-picked to offer relevant services and products to our users. Although we don’t have free listings, we do have occasional seasonal discounts or promotional codes so it’s worth following our Social Media channels if you’re thinking about adding your yard!

I'm only a small yard- whats the point of advertising on a national directory?

LiveryList covers the whole of the UK but when a user searches, they most commonly search by location. All results are shown by the distance from that location. If a user is searching in your area- they will find you! Should users search on a search engine such as Google “Livery Yard Directory Kent” (for example), LiveryList is still at the top of the results. In addition, users from out of your area may be searching further afield for short-term stabling, competition stabling, retirement livery and the like which will not be restricted to local users.

I only have one vacancy- whats the point of a 6 month advert if i fill the space next week?

LiveryList doesn’t just offer to advertise for permanent livery vacancies, but for many other things too. Perhaps someone is looking to hire facilities- an Arena, or Cross Country Course perhaps. Maybe people are looking for short-term vacancies such as schooling or sales that you may be able to accommodate or even may be interested in using your other services or events such as instruction or riding camps. LiveryList is the only Livery Yard Directory which has a Vacancy Indicator. This means users can see if you have vacancies, a waiting list, or are full. This will stop unnecessary enquiries if you’re full, but equally lets users know if you’ve got spaces on offer! As well as that, constant advertising will mean people remember your yard if they are searching locally and even helps many advertisers create a waiting list allowing them to pick and choose the most suitable clients as soon as vacancies arise meaning stables are empty for less time, and you're able to choose the most suited candidate!

How many people will see my listing?

LiveryList rates at the top of searches for many general and location-specific livery yard directory queries in search engines such as Google. We do not pay for site optimisation or promotion, we are there because there are so many visitors to the site! LiveryList was visited by over 164,000 unique users in 2020 and between them, they made over 1.4 million pages views on the site. Your listing will pop up in a variety of ways- in search results by location, related keywords, livery packages… there are many ways your listing will be found on the site and on other search engines. New standard and basic listings are shared to Facebook- which has over 11,500 followers-, which in turn are shared on our other Social Media platforms. As well as that, we don’t just add your listing and let it sit there, we constantly promote our listed yards, as well as for Featured advertisers, following your yard social media accounts and sharing any posts that are relevant to our users. There are certain aspects that will get more people to click on your listing- uploaded photos, plenty of wording, and of course, our Featured Listings have a slightly higher view rate due to the additional promotion on other pages of the site.
