The Ultimate List: 50 Online Local Business Directories

Written by | @

yellow-pages-directory

As a local business, attracting new customers can be a major challenge. Quickly disappearing are the days when people go to the Yellow Pages to find local businesses. Today, people are turning to the internet as a way to find trusted business recommendations.

One way local businesses can get found is through inclusion in online directories. Adding a listing to these online directories is easy, but if you only list in a few, you're really missing a huge opportunity to get found by online searchers.

Download our free SEO guides here to learn more about how to use local SEO for your local business.  

Every individual directory that you submit to is another chance to get found online, so it's important to make sure you're listed in every directory possible. I have compiled a list of many popular local directories available on the internet. Filling out the forms over and over again can be a big pain, so here's a link to an autofill add-on for Firefox that should help prevent carpal tunnel.

How many of these 50 are localeze.com partners? For the ones that are one submission to Localeze for a measly $300/yr will get you listed w/ a link. 
 
@CPollittIU

My best friend is starting a business listing sit with "added" extras, for a fraction of the cost, that looks and feels amazing! Watch out for @TBCUK on twitter and feel free to DM her for more details :-)

Sarah
The YellowPages.com link is incorrect. Should be http://www.yp.com 
 
Localeze will distribute your information, but it will most likely be buried by better optimized & paid listings. Follow Tony's advice and claim your free listings online in as many places as you can.
Jill
This is a terrific resource--thanks so much.
Expat Financial Advice Spain
Hi Guys, it is the World Wide Web you know! Found this a very US centric list.
Shara
Thanks for the info. I will be book marking this for future resources ! 
 
Shara
Courtney
This is a great list but I did notice that TeleAtlas is on there twice.
Rod Brady
The YellowAssistance link is incorrect. It should be http://yellowassistance.com.
Jimmy
Looks like links for 41 and 42 are the same.
Kathy
Got a bit fed up of keep hitting US only sites. I think there were only a couple that worked for me then I gave up it would be useful if when you post lists such as these if you could separate out the US only sites
Diane
Someone mentioned Locandex. You can claim and manage your listing for free there - localndex.com/claim. Thanks for providing a great resource for businesses, Hubspot!
sujit
MatchPoint should be => http://www.matchpoint.com/ ... 
 
great resources provided really helpful..thanx for great effort
Infinite Listings UK Business Directory
Great list, an have to agree with other commenters regards the US-centric leaning! Smaller - more "local" - sites spring up all over often covering tighter geographical areas in other countries.
Abdul Malick
Great List. Its very useful for our business visibility. Shall we use this listing for geotarget purpose?
Sarah
I have worked with local search for about four years now, and have experience with many of these sites. I know the ins and outs of the local search world, so to speak. If you are interested in making sure your information is listed correctly on these sites, send me an email. I can help your organization ensure all of your listings are correct and where they need to be online.
Josh Christian
Thanks for sharing the list, very helpful of you.
Reuben Rail
Found another one. 
 
Hotfrog - http://www.hotfrog.com/ 
 
Troy Cadotte
RelyLocal.com is an up and coming local directory that should be on this list.
Karen Kefauver
Two questions: 
1. I work at home (and use a PO Box) does a list exist or can you make one that is not reliant on listing a physical address? 
2. Is this free?

Most of the time, you are able to omit your address and place a phone number and name only on these sites. It is free to claim your listings on the sites, however, you will most likely start to field sales calls from each site to purchase upgraded listings.
Lisa Cahan Davis
Post your business on http://aol.it/PatchSite. Not every city has their own Patch site, but it's free to list your business. They promote themselves as "...your source for local knowledge you can't live without."
Angela Beasley
Thanks a lot! This is very useful.
Sharath
Great listing...Thanks...I have bookmarked...I help local businesses..This listing is very helpful. Thanks once again.
Karen Kefauver
I work at home - don't want a biz directory that points to my home with a published map - nor even to my PO box location. Anyone have a directory list that is good for folks like me -and there are many of us! 
Ed Fowlkes Jr
Thanks for this list. This is one of the first things I do for my clients. I didn't have a few of these directories though so I just added them to my list. Thanks!
Wendy B
www.americantowns.com is another I've found
Kaushal Shah
Excellent resources! This is mainly for the US market. Does anyone have a list of Australian local directories?? Thanks in advance!
SEO Training Ahmedabad

DNMG Mark
LocalCompanySearch.com has a network of niche business directories. You can find links to the different niche directories they have at their website.
Clickedindia
Nice list of local listing website.. i also suggest also register your business listing to clickedindia.com
Michael John
Awesome list. Just added it to my To-Do list. Thanks for the effort.
Tech Studio Mac
If you are in Los Angeles, a great one with a lot of link juice is www.laokay.com
directory
Great list. Did anybody ever research what is the return on investment when subscribed to those directories and which shows the best results?
smoltag
Strong list of local listing websites think you... i also suggest also register your business listing to smoltag.com, it's very interesting with more than 500 000 websites and links, and smart keywords indexation.
Web Hosting
Yahoo and Yelp seem to have the best ROI from testing that I've done so far. There really is no hard in adding your business to as many of them as you are able to.
