Traditional local business directives such as the yellow pages have been in slow decline for some years now. Instead consumers are turning online to find local businesses and local information. They expect your typical local business to have a sophisticated online presence, on social media, in local directories and search engines.
If your business isn’t there, you can’t do business with them, and chances are they’ll use a competitor instead!
One of the easiest ways to increase your online presence is by adding your business to local business directories online. Not only will inclusion in these directories help you to reach more potential clients, it’ll boost your local search position too.
Did you know that quantity and consistency of local directory listings is one of the biggest factors that contributes to your local search ranking?
More than anything Google expects quality in your online marketing, which is why we have chosen 70 of the top business directories for you.
To take full advantage, submit your business to as many of the below directories as possible. Make sure to include the following information: Full business name, phone number, address, accurate description & link back to your website!

This list is really helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Very valuable list. It may take time but, being listed in these local directories is important. Thanks for this information

Thanks for the list of directories.
Thanks for sharing online local business directories.
I loved reading this blog post. Very unique and Informative .I will definitely refer my friends to read this. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you! This is one of the most comprehensive lists I’ve come across. There are several directories on here that I’m yet to discover. Is anyone else having trouble accessing Mojo Pages? That’s directories for you, though, right? They’re often unreliable.
You mention a few sites I’ve had great experiences with – Hotfrog (www.hotfrog.co.nz), Show Me Local (www.showmelocal.com), Tupalo (www.tupalo.com). These sites are easy to submit to, and don’t delete my listing unexpectedly! I’ve recently had some good traction from Localist (www.localist.co.nz). It’s an all-in-one directory, so I can promote my business, sell products and engage with customers all from one platform. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for another site to add to your list!
