About Swindon.co

Swindon.co is an independent local directory and guide for Swindon, Wiltshire. We publish verified business listings, local news, and practical guides for people who live in, work in, or are moving to the Swindon borough.

What we do

We maintain a directory of 27+ local businesses, with listings independently verified against official sources including the Food Standards Agency, Companies House, and business websites. We publish original editorial content — local news articles, restaurant guides, neighbourhood explainers, and best-of lists — written from first-hand research rather than scraped from other sources.

Editorial standards

Every business listing in the Swindon.co directory includes at least one verifiable source URL. Food hygiene ratings are sourced from the Food Standards Agency ratings database. Listings are marked with a last-verified date and a confidence score.

We do not fabricate listings, publish placeholder content, or republish press releases without independent verification. Featured listings and sponsored content are clearly labelled. Our editorial content is independent of our commercial relationships.

Commercial model

Swindon.co is free to use. Revenue comes from featured listings, category sponsorships, and sponsored editorial content — all clearly labelled. A disclosure appears at the footer of every page. Basic listings are free and are not influenced by commercial relationships.

Independence

Swindon.co is an independent website. We are not affiliated with Swindon Borough Council,Wiltshire County Council, or any local business association.
