For the people behind the business

Your work.
A place to be found.

Blue Dot Merchants is for Democratic, liberal, and progressive independent businesses. Artists, makers, cooks, growers, and independent shops are welcome. Tell us what you make or sell and where you’re based. We’ll review your business details together before your listing goes live.

No charge. Really.

Your business.
We’ll help share it.

A free directory listing
A link to your existing shop

Free AI-assisted web design

No upcharges or in-app purchases. We don’t collect payment details for our services.

Help people find your work.

We can help with page titles, descriptions, sitemaps, and free Google and Bing webmaster tools. Search engines decide what gets indexed and where it appears; we can’t guarantee indexing, rankings, or traffic. More about free search setup.

Already listed, or just need search help? Choose Business support on our inquiry form.

Hosting is homemade, too.

Dave personally runs this free service on a best-effort basis. We can’t guarantee uptime, uninterrupted availability, or a support response time. Keep your own copies of your content. If your business needs guaranteed availability, you can use another host and keep your free directory listing here.

A shared commitment.

We welcome independent businesses that support democracy, equal rights, and dignity. Read our values before applying. A listing is not a certification or an endorsement of every product.

Real product pictures.

We use AI to help build the website. We don’t use AI-generated product images. You provide the pictures when your page is ready.

Applications are private. Your contact details won’t appear in the directory automatically.
