The top 20 places your business needs to be listed online
Gone are the days when a business laid down an annual sum to have its information listed in the Yellow Pages.
These days it’s crucial for small businesses to instead prominently list themselves in multiple online directories. Consider this, four out of five consumers in the U.S. now use search engines to find local businesses. Perhaps more importantly, 50 percent of those conducting local searches by smartphone visit the business in question within the same day, and 18 percent move forward with a purchase that day. To make sure your business is found, we’ve outlined the top 20 places your business needs to be listed. And we’ve even added a few lesser-known directories as a bonus.
What to include in your online business listing
Google research shows customers most frequently seek company hours, product information, business location, and directions. Many also put great stock in online reviews by other customers, with 88 percent trusting these reviews as much as personal recommendations. Other studies point to searcher demand for coupons and special offers.
So how do you decide which search engine — or engines — to list in?
Google My Business
The Goliath of search engines, of course, is Google. So it’s no surprise when prioritizing which online listings to pursue, experts often recommend starting with the free-of-charge Google My Business (GMB). After all, Google far outperforms every other search engine, logging an average 7.8 billion searches per day last year.
One of the greatest benefits of GMB is its listing of your business’s exact location on a mobile-friendly map — a huge boon to the 1.3 billion smartphone users expected to populate the U.S. by 2020.
“You will be far more visible to the vast majority of users of both Android and iPhones searching for businesses within a 5-kilometer radius,” Google advises, pointing to the SEO edge the tool provides in promoting small, local businesses over more generic corporations. “Local searchers do not want to be constantly bombarded with the same old big names that may or may not truly offer the service or product they are seeking.”
GMB consistently shows up high in online searches, boosts your website’s SEO rankings to optimize traffic, posts reviews from your customers, and allows you to include in your profile printable coupons, special offers, videos, images, opening hours, preferred payment methods, and other meaningful information. Its Analytics function also allows you to track who’s searching for you and what other sites they’ve visited. The free and easy registration process for GMB is available here.
Top 20 Places
Twenty other relevant directories that could increase exposure for your business include:
- Bing Places for Business: Only Google outpaces this free Microsoft product in visits, and you can add multiple business locations, photos, videos, and more during your fast, free, and easy registration. Because Bing is the default search engine for desktop and tablet versions of Windows 8, some tablet, desktop, and laptop owners opt for Bing over Google. Enroll here.
- Yahoo Local Listing: Ranking third next to Google and Bing, Yahoo’s service draws millions of searches daily. A basic listing is free, but $9.95/month allows you to add photos and a company description, and $29.99/month buys you listings in more than 40 other online directories. “Although Yahoo is no longer the search engine giant it once was, Yahoo Local is a great supplement to your online local strategy,” advises Amanda DiSilvestro on SearchEngineWatch.com. Create your listing here.
- Yelp is one of the best online sources for candid consumer reviews. Bonus: It allows you to send public or private messages (including deals) to customers and review business trends using the Yelp reporting tool. In terms of demographics, 42 percent of Yelp users are 18 to 34, 61 percent are college grads and 46 percent earn $100,000 or more annually. The most reviewed categories on Yelp include shopping, restaurants, and home services respectively. Enroll here.
- MerchantCircle is a free network targeted toward small businesses seeking to connect with local customers and other small businesses in their areas. Users can advertise to boost their listings, post business blogs, and take advantage of free marketing tools aimed at building their business. The more active they are online, the more local exposure they gain. Create a listing here.

How I Got My Ex Husband Back..Am so excited to share my testimony of a real spell caster who brought my husband back to me. My husband and I have been married for about 7 years now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn’t even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a post that Dr Aluebor can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and and told him my problems and he told me what to do and i did it and he did a spell for me. 48 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Aluebor home of solution that really works. If you have any problem contact him and i guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you Email him at Alueborhomeofsolution@gmail.com

want to use this opportunity to
thank my
great doctor who really made my life
a
pleasurable one today. This great
man
DR.EBOSE brought my
husband back to me,
i had 2 lovely kids for my husband,
about
3 years ago i and my husband has
been
into one quarrel or the other until he
finally left me for one lady. i felt my
life
was over and my kids thought they
would
never see their father again. i tried
to be
stronger just for the kids but i could
not
control the pains that torments my
heart,
my heart was filled with sorrows and
pains because i was really in love
with my
husband. Every day and night i think
of
him and always wish he would come
back
to me, until one day i met a good
friend
of mine that was also in a situation
like
me but her problem was her ex-
boyfriend
who she had an unwanted pregnancy
for
and he refused to take responsibility
and
dumped her. she told me that mine
was a
small case and that i shouldn’t worry
about it at all so i asked her what
was the
solution to my problems and she
gave me
this great man phone number and
his
email address. i was doubting if this
man
was the solution, so contacted this
great
man and he told me what to do and
i
deed them all, he told me to wait
for just
two day and that my husband will
come
crawling on his kneels just for
forgiveness so i faithfully deed what
this
great man asked me to do and for
sure
after two days i heard a knock on
the
door, in a great surprise i saw him
on his
kneels and i was speechless, when
he
saw me, all he did was crying and
asking
me for forgiveness, from that day,
all the
pains and sorrows in my heart flew
away,since then i and my husband
and
our lovely kids are happy.thats why
i
want to say a big thank you to
DR.EBOSE

An amazing testimony on a spell caster who brought my husband back to me, My name is jacira andrew, i am a native of brazil, but i reside in singapor, and I’m happily married to a lovely and caring husband, with a kid. A very big problem occurred in my family few month ago, between my husband and i, so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce, he said that he never wanted to stay with me again, and that he don’t love me anymore, So he packed my belongings out of his house and made me and my child passed through severe pain, I tried all my possible means to get him back, after much begging, but all to no avail, and he confirmed it that he has made his decision, and he never wanted to see me again, So on one evening, as i was coming back from work, i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband, So i explained every thing to her, so she told me that the only way i can get my husband back, is to visit a spell caster, because it has really worked for her too, So i never believed in spell, but i had no other choice, than to follow her advice, Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she visited, doctorspiritthehabalist12@gmail.com

Thanks for the compilation, much appreciated. You may also want to consider listing your business, using video, on our startup video platform for business, online sellers and marketers at http://www.pitchus.com
The list contributed by the author is awesome and almost all major business listing sites are there. And the best thing is that, the 1st step of submitting a business in all the directories have been given. So no need to search for that.
I just want to add another business listing site for USA which recently grabs attentions of the business owners and help them to get maximum ROi from their online listing. Check out Vintelli.
there is a link right on that page under City Search.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing information. it’s great list.
Awesome Post, Thanks for sharing… It’s very useful to promote your business online.
Most of these sites favour the US demographic region try listing you business on https://www.bizpiq.com it lists worldwide for just $10 per month.
Great tips, awesome! How can i add my business listing to City Search? Is there anyway to do it?
hmm.. I had no problem signing up with Bing (?) Took about 5 minutes. But I did use my business email from my website.
Hi – Does anyone know some good, free online listings that are available in Australia?
Thanks!
Judith is right. Many of these sites may be popular in the US, but they are not available for our Canadian brothers and sisters to use. Also sites like Yahoo are now linked with the Yext Network, which requires a $300+ yearly membership. While the list is still useful, the trend towards free, local, or niche based directories can not be ignored. In using myself as an example, my team founded: https://blackspeaks.com/ to serve minority based businesses, many of whom can not pay the $300 per year that the Yext network requires. Our site allows minority businesses to list for free
http://www.whosells.co.nz is also a very good online business directory in New Zealand. They also have a free listing package.
Great article! I’m wondering, do you have any experience with managing all these business listings? I’m working with a small business that acquires new locations regularly. I’m looking for tips on how to seamlessly update new location information, and update all location listings at one time, without having to update one by one.
Any solutions?
Thank you!
This is a great list. submit-link.org is also a great free local business directory to get complete local business listings. You can add your exact location, photo, hours, website, and contact info.
Great compilation! I’ve been working with many of these for a client reputation marketing profile and have some additional info. Local.com is NOT free. In order to enter business info, you have to sigh up for a subscription service from Yext. Yext isn’t a service I’d ever suggest to any of my customers or clients. TERRIBLE is an understatement.
SuperPages.. STEER CLEAR!!!! Steer clear of any former ‘phone’ company. SuperPages is continuing to negatively impact local listing. I’m battling a database driven, keyword URL that was set up when that’s how local listings got ranked. That same account continues to crank out listing using a landing page URL (that can’t be changed) and it’s using a tracking phone number that hasn’t been live for almost 2 years. Additionally, SuperPages contracts with another 3rd party provider doing the same thing x10.
Small Business Owners: The Phone Company is NOT an “SEO, Internet Marketing” or any other term they use to keep themselves relevant. What they do to ‘market’, ESPECIALLY FOR A SMALL BUSINESS, is detrimental to your listing!
Thanks for the tips! I didn’t know about registering for The Business Journals but will now.
Hello,
Please note that most of these sites aren’t available for Canadian businesses. You might want to add that fact. And Bing is HELL to register for…Worked over an hour and still can’t get them to accept either one of my e-mail addresses. And, of course, no person to speak to!!
Hello!
