About the Charleston Business Directory

The HERECharleston Business Directory connects Charleston County residents with the local companies, service providers, and Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) businesses that keep our community running. Whether you’re looking for a contractor in North Augusta, a restaurant in downtown Charleston, a shop in Graniteville, or a professional service in Beech Island, 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 SRS suppliers and Bridgestone tier-one vendors to local restaurants, accounting firms, real estate offices, and contractors. The location filter narrows results to a specific city or neighborhood inside Charleston County.

Who’s listed here

Listings come from local business owners, the Greater Charleston Chamber of Commerce partner network, and businesses that have purchased a HEREmention SEO listing or a Business Directory subscription on HERECharleston.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 HERECharleston 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 If you spot a listing that’s out of date or incorrect, you can flag it directly from the listing page or contact our team at /contact/.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 Charleston County or the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) 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 Charleston roundup.

For larger businesses, SRS or Bridgestone suppliers, agencies, real estate brokerages, or multi-location operations, the HERECharleston 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 HERECharleston.

Why the directory matters for Charleston

Charleston County’s economy runs on a mix of advanced manufacturing (SRS, Bridgestone, Kimberly-Clark), small-business retail and services, healthcare (Charleston Regional, Prisma Health Central Savannah River Area (CSRA)), higher education (Wofford, USC Central Savannah River Area (CSRA), Converse, SCC), and a fast-growing professional services sector tied to the I-20 corridor. The HERECharleston Business Directory is a single, searchable place where all of these companies — from a 50,000-employee tier-one supplier to a one-person home repair business in Wagener — can be found by the people who need them.

If you’re new to Charleston, 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 HERECharleston 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 Charleston County or the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA).
• Combine filters — keyword + category + location all stack. For example: search “auto” with category “Automotive” and location “North Augusta” 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 HERECharleston team at /contact/ or email [email protected]. We respond to directory corrections within one business day.
