Kikichor profiles are pages filled with individual and company information (such as business name, address and phone number) provided by public information sources or company representatives who have added detailed information about who they are and what they do. Since not all pages are claimed by the business owner, some profiles are more robust than others.
Where does Kikichor get its company data?
It depends. If the information showing is basic (name and address) and it has an “Claim this Business” button, the information comes from a collection of public records, such as trade records, business registrations and government registries. Otherwise, a company representative has made changes, and these profiles generally offer more detailed company information.
How often is directory information on Kikichor updated?
Directory information is updated as it’s made available from publishers of public records, or when business owners or representatives make changes or additions to their profiles.
There’s incorrect information about my company. How can I fix it?
Click the “Own This Business?” button to claim your company profile. Claiming allows you to replace incorrect information or update the profile to include a company description, photos, videos and more. All changes are password protected.
Can I add myself or company to Kikichor?
Yes! Kikichor accepts listings for individuals and businesses located in Nigeria only. Adding your company is easy and free, and we have tools and coaches ready to help you promote and grow your business. Get started now.
There’s some information I’d rather not have online, what should I do?
You can update your profile to reflect what you want the world to know. After locating your company, click the “Own This Business?” button on your company’s profile. It walks you through the process to clean it up.
I asked you to remove my information, why do I still see it in Google search results?
We remove profiles within 48 hours of the request, but search engines take longer to update. What you see in the search results is cached information, but if you click on the link you should see that your profile has been removed.
How do I add more information about my company to Kikichor?
If you have already claimed your company profile on Kikichor, you can easily edit your business information. Sign in to Kikichor and start at your Business Dashboard to make changes.
Someone else at my company claimed my profile. How do I get access to it?
A company profile that has been edited or added to Kikichor may only be edited by the User ID (email address) that initially edited it. If the person who edited the company profile is a former employee and you have access to the company email address that was used to register on Kikichor, you can reset the password and then make any edits to the claimed company profile. The alternative is for us to remove the claim on the company profile, and you can register your email address and edit the company listing again. Email us if you need additional help.
How do I add more photos to my company’s profile?
Although you cannot feature additional photos directly on your profile, you can post up to five photos on each of your Showcase pages. You also have the option to add a link in the Additional Links section of your Kikichor profile so visitors can view a photo gallery on your website or other online site.
Why is my company profile not ranking higher with major search engines?
While filling out your company profile completely will help in your online rankings, we have additional tools that are specific to helping you with search-engine rankings. Please remember that while it can typically take Kikichor 24 hours to update our search results pages when new information is added to Kikichor, search engines such as Google can take longer. These search engines regularly visit Kikichor pages to index added and modified content, which is then reflected in Internet search results; it could be several days to weeks before a search engine revisits each page on the site. You may find additional benefits by adding Showcase pages to your Kikichor profile; the titles of these pages are also searchable.
What if my business is no longer in operation or I wish not to be listed at all?
Not a problem. Just email us the URL of the page you’d like removed along with a brief explanation.
You are an expert at what you do, and the Kikichor Community is the place where you can share your knowledge and discuss relevant topics. You can view conversations in the community any time, but you’ll need to be a Kikichor member to participate fully. Registering to participate in the community is simple.

I was a member of the old forum (Connect), why do I have to register again in the new community?
We completely overhauled our online community to bring you a better user experience, and the new platform requires that you create a unique username. When you enter the new community for the first time, you’ll be prompted to add any necessary information.
What are the rules for the Kikichor Community?
The Kikichor Community is for business owners to learn from one another, share best practices, ask questions and trade ideas. While we strive to allow all participants to post freely, we want to ensure the community remains clear of spam, and information is relevant and organized. Please only include appropriate links, and always avoid promotional messages or comments that are offensive or off-topic. Be aware that if your posts meet our definition of spam, they will be removed, and you risk losing your right to post. We expect that all participants follow our guidelines.
Who moderates the Kikichor Community?
Kikichor has a dedicated community manager and a moderator who work to keep the community free of spam and running smoothly. If you have a question, please send us a note.
It’s the place you land when you sign into your Kikichor account. From there you can navigate to your Business Dashboard to manage companies you’ve claimed or added, track recommendations you’ve written, update account settings, change email preferences and view products and payment information.
Can the public see my member profile?
Your name, photo and companies you’ve claimed can be seen by the public. However, you can set your preferences so search engines do not index this page, and only users on Kikichor’s site would be able to access this page.
How do I update my email preferences?
Sign into your Kikichor account and click on “Email Preferences” on the left side of your member profile to make any necessary changes. Make sure to click the “Save My Changes” button at the bottom of the page to update.
Where’s the recommendation I wrote for a company?
Companies can choose to display, hide or feature recommendations. If they choose not to display your recommendation, it will still be archived on your member profile, so you can keep track of businesses you’ve reviewed.
How do I feature a recommendation I received?
If someone submits a recommendation for your company, show it off! Sign in to your Kikichor account and move the review to the top of the list by clicking the “Feature” link next to the recommendation.
