Customer Accessibility Suite Spotlight: Service Directory

Most accessible support fails at being found. A blind or low-vision customer who needs help has to navigate a website they already couldn’t use, hunt for a contact page, and hope the number they find leads somewhere useful.

Most accessible support fails at being found. A blind or low-vision customer who needs help has to navigate a website they already couldn’t use, hunt for a contact page, and hope the number they find leads somewhere useful.

The Be My Eyes Service Directory removes this entirely.

What is Service Directory?

Service Directory is a centralized, accessible directory inside the Be My Eyes app that connects blind and low-vision users with customer support from organizations worldwide.

Instead of searching a website, customers browse a directory built for them from the start and in an app they already use. Every listing is a branded company page you control, showing how to reach your support team, what you offer, which languages you support and when you’re available.

Some of the organizations already listed include Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Procter & Gamble, Hilton, Barilla, Tesco, Amtrak and Zain.

How Does it Work?

1. Request your listing
You tell us which business units, regions and support channels you want represented. 

2. Build your company page
You control what customers see – including opening hours, the services you offer, supported languages and geographic availability. The page carries your branding, so customers recognize you immediately.

3. Customers find you in the app
Blind and low-vision users browse or search the directory inside Be My Eyes, an app they already use and already trust. 

4. They connect to your support
Depending on what you’ve set up, that might be a direct phone number, your accessible service desk, or a live connection to your agents through Service Stream or Service Connect.

Benefits for Blind and Low Vision Customers

Support that can actually be found

No navigating an inaccessible website to locate a phone number buried in a footer. The directory is designed to be used with a screen reader from the first tap.

Confidence before the call

Seeing a business listed signals that it has thought about accessible support. That changes how a customer approaches the interaction.

The right contact

Reaching a team prepared for the conversation removes the transfers, repeated explanations and dead ends that make routine support draining.

Clear expectations on hours and languages

Knowing in advance when support is available, and in which languages, saves the wasted effort of calling a line that might not be able to help.

Support inside a familiar app

Customers don’t need to learn a new tool or download anything else. The directory sits inside the Be My Eyes – currently used by over 1.1 million blind and low-vision users.

A shortcut to human help when it matters

When something has gone wrong and the stakes feel high, the directory gets customers to a person quickly rather than through several layers of self-service.

Business Impact

Get found by customers actively looking

There are approximately 340 million blind and low-vision people globally, and over a million of them use Be My Eyes. A listing puts your brand in front of an audience that is actively seeking businesses offering accessible support. We’ll also tell our community that your brand is listed (in supported countries)

A visible signal of commitment

Accessibility work is often invisible to the people it’s meant to serve. A directory listing is one of the few places where that investment is publicly legible to the customers who care most about it. This gives a visible right to say you support Be My Eyes – on your website, in comms and in CSR reporting. 

Fewer misrouted contacts

When customers arrive through the right channel, agents may spend less time transferring calls and re-establishing context, and customers spend less time repeating themselves.

A fast first step

Compared with product remediation or a website rebuild, getting listed is a light lift. For organizations at the beginning of an accessibility programme, it delivers something customers can use while longer projects (such as Service Stream or Service Connect) are still in progress.

Brand differentiation in a crowded category

In sectors where products are broadly comparable, the quality of support is one of the clearest ways to stand apart. Being present where accessible service is being actively sought is a straightforward way to demonstrate it.
