Online Business Directory

Online Business Directories Are Here to Stay

You probably know by now the importance of being listed online (posting a business listing on online business directories, and adding/claiming local business listings online for local search). There are a lot of online business directories and websites to list a business on out there. Not only that, there are many local directories for niche products and services.

How do you know which online business directories businesses should be listed on to get the best ROI? It’s great to list a business on other online directories besides the big ones—Google, Facebook, Bing—but which ones make sense to invest time and effort in adding/claiming a local business listing on?

The Top 100 Online Business Directories: We Ranked the Impossible

There are a ton (and I mean ton) of “top {insert number here} lists” of online business directories out there. Aside from the obvious ones like Google, Yelp, Bing, etc, what makes a site worthy of such an honor? Well, we’ve crunched the numbers for the big guys and all the non-obvious online local directories as well. And yes, we know that since this is internet information it can change quickly, however, this guide serves as a snapshot and reference point for the top 100 local business directories on the web, as backed by a ton of data and research.

Pro Tip- Start at the Top and Work Your Way Down (Just Like Business Listings Mountain!)

Where applicable, that is (this all depends on yourbudget and if it is a niche, whether the niche fits). While the ranks and information may change over time, we hope that from this resource you will know which tools to use, and what to look for in an online business directory to judge if it makes sense to create a local business listing on.

With many services pushing to so many online business directories, this list will act as a reference point to judge which services may or may not make sense for a business to invest in or not. If a business choose to list on these online business directories individually themselves, this list serves as a great guide, with an executive summary description of each local business directory (in conjunction with the table format of the list), helping to navigate the landscape of the local business listing and online business directory world.

The Top 100 Online Business Directories: Getting to Know Your Directories

 

#1 Google

Google’s Google My Business is a free tool for businesses to manage their online presence across Google, including Search and Maps. By verifying and editing business directory listing information, you can help customers find a business through their local search.

google my business

Cost to List on Google’s Business Directory

It is free for the business listing directory portion (unless you want to show up in ads).

Who Uses Google’s Business Listings Directory

Any user who uses Google as a search engine. Users are statistically a younger demographic. They are typically college/university educated and Facebook users. Within the last month, Google had over 175 million unique US visitors. Alexa data shows a fairly even representation across all demographic groups and segments.

Why Businesses Should Be Listed On Google My Business

Businesses need to be listed on Google because it is a large online local directory, a large volume of users go through the site (175 million in a month in the US alone!), it can improve search engine page ranking, businesses can show up in local search with key terms, a business can be easily found on Google Maps, and it’s a cost-effective form of local marketing. Hard to say that in one breath! Really, though, who needs to be convinced that they need to be listed on Google?

Google’s Business Listing Reach

Google’s search engine performs over 3.5 billion searches per day. Within the last month, Google had 32.30 billion total unique visits globally. The search engine has become a verb–the prevalence is obvious.

Is Google’s Local Business Directory Mobile Responsive?

Yes. Google has a mobile browser and other apps in the App Store and Google Play Store.

Notes on Google’s Business Directory

You can also pay to have ads on Google.


 

#2 Facebook

In case you’ve been living in a cave or are an ageing hipster with an aversion to trending technology, Facebook is a social networking website. Here, users can create profiles, upload photos and videos, send messages and keep in touch with friends, family, and follow their favorite businesses and brands. Companies can create business profiles that users can follow.

facebook social media marketing

Cost to Add a Local Business Listing on Facebook

It is free to add or claim a business profile/business listing page. You can advertise on Facebook for a fee with options for sponsored posts.

Facebook’s Demographics

Within the last month, Facebook had over 117 million unique US visitors.

Facebook is used:

  • slightly more by women and slightly less by men
  • slightly more by those who earn 60K-100K
  • slightly more by those who view the site from school
  • slightly more Caucasians and Middle Eastern groups than the average internet population

Why Businesses Should Get a Facebook Business Listing

It’s free to post a business on the site, and the 117 million unique US visitors is more than enough volume to justify creating or claiming a business’ presence. Users can follow a company through updates or posts, and customers can post reviews about their experience with a business on Facebook. Because it is widely recognized as the most robust social network and has the largest user base, reviews and feedback on Facebook are essential content for local businesses.

A Facebook Business Listing’s Potential Reach 

There are 1.59 billion active Facebook users worldwide. Within the last month, Facebook had 29.5 billion total unique visits globally (Similarweb).

Is Facebook Mobile Friendly?

Yes. Facebook for mobile is available in the App Store and Google Play Store (though you likely knew that already).

Other Notes On Facebook’s Business Listings

You can also pay to have ads on Facebook. If you have the feedback option enabled on a business’ page, make sure businesses are handling the negative responses properly to maintain their public image on social media. Information moves fast on here, so keep in mind time versus ROI.


 

#3 Yahoo!

Yahoo! is a portal website that incorporates a search engine and a directory of websites organized in a hierarchy of categories. Yahoo! Local is the online business directory portion of the website devoted to business listings. For a time, Yahoo and Bing were teamed up as a part of the Yahoo Bing Network, but their agreement has now changed.

Yahoo business directory

Yahoo’s Business Listing Directory Fees

You can create a free Yahoo Local Basic Listing or pay to have either an Enhanced Listing for $9.99/month, or sign up for Localworks, which is $29.99/month. A Basic Listing includes your company’s phone, address, website information, store hours, as well as your products and services (help.yahoo.com).  In order to sign up for the Localworks, users are directed to Aabaco Small Business from Yahoo! Localworks will list the business on Yahoo, Google, Yelp, WhitePages, Bing, MapQuest, Superpages and other listing sites and local directories.

Yahoo’s Local Business Directory User Profile

Data pulled is for Yahoo!’s domain and not Yahoo! Local (Yahoo’s specific online business directory) specifically. Within the last month, Yahoo! had over 98 million unique US visitors.

Yahoo! is used:

  • slightly more by women and slightly less by men
  • slightly more by those aged 65+
  • more by those with no college or some college education
  • more by those who earn $60K-$100K and $100K+; less by those who earn $0-$30K
  • more by Asians and Caucasians; less than the internet average by African, African American, Hispanic, Middle Eastern and “Other” demographic groups

Why Businesses Should Get Listed on Yahoo’s Online Business Directory

There are varying opinions as to how effective the local business directory listings are versus the price you pay for the service. My advice? Take a look at the Yahoo! Local directory website before you purchase—maybe even try searching for a few businesses. If you like what you see, then it may be worth the investment to have a local business listed here.

The Yahoo! Local Business Directory Reach

Similarweb reports that within the last month Yahoo! had 7 billion total visits globally, which is approximately 1.17 billion visits a month.

Is It Safe to Say The Yahoo Business Directory is Mobile Friendly? 

Yes. Yahoo! has a mobile browser in the App Store and Google Play Store.

Notes on Yahoo’s Business Listing Directory

Alexa data was available for the Yahoo.com domain and not specifically Local.Yahoo.com. The Alexa data returns the Yahoo.com data for the domain as a whole.


 

#4 Twitter

Twitter, in case you haven’t heard, is an online social networking service where users send and read 140-character messages, also known as “tweets.” Users can tweet messages, links, and images to their followers, or use #hashtags if they want to be found by that word or phrase.

twitter social media marketing

Twitter Business Listings Pricing

Businesses can create a Twitter profile for free. You can advertise on Twitter for a fee.

Portrait of  a Twitter User

Within the last month, Twitter had over 74.6 million unique US visitors.

Twitter is used:

  • slightly more by women
  • slightly more by those who view the site from school
  • more by Caucasians and Hispanics; less than the internet average by Asian, Middle Eastern and “other” demographic groups

Businesses Should Get a Twitter Business Listing Because…

Local businesses can put advertisements on Twitter, connect with potential customers, network, tweet about sales to followers and so on. However, there is a catch… other than posting an ad, Twitter, like any other social media platform, can be a large time investment to maintain a presence. There are platforms and services you can use to assist with maintaining a presence on Twitter, but compare the costs and benefits and see if it makes in the use case of each business.

Twitter’s Network Size

Within the last month, Twitter had 3.1 billion total unique visits globally (Similarweb).

Is Twitter Mobile Responsive?

Yes. Twitter is available in the App Store and Google Play Store.

More Notes On Twitter

Because information on Twitter moves very fast, businesses need to have a sense of immediacy and flexibility when interacting on this platform. Twitter is very much a constant conversation, so businesses who are listed here need to contribute regularly.

 


 

#5 LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a social networking website for the business community. Registered members can link to networks of people they know professionally. It can also be a way to grow your professional network. It has recently become a leads machine for sales teams, so you’ve likely noticed that every person who’s asked for a demo has also asked you to connect.

linkedin for business

How Much Does a LinkedIn Business Listing Cost?

Businesses can create a LinkedIn profile for free. You can advertise on LinkedIn for a fee as well, of course.

The Typical LinkedIn User 

There are 107 million American users on LinkedIn as of Feb. 2016. Within the last month, LinkedIn had over 57.9 million unique US visitors. LinkedIn is used:

LinkedIn is used:

  • slightly less by those aged 18-24 and slightly more by those aged 45-54
  • more by those with graduate school education and sightly less than those with no college or some college education
  • more by those who earn $100K+ and less by those who earn $0-$30K
  • more by those who view the site from work
  • more by Caucasians; less than the internet average by Asian and Middle Eastern demographic groups

Reasons to Get Your Business Listed On LinkedIn’s Business Directory

Depending on the type of company and product or service offered, businesses likely want to spend the time to create a profile on Linkedin. Creating a listing is free, and potential applicants and vendors alike can find businesses here. My advice would be to go on the site and look around for similar businesses. If competitors are on there, businesses should likely follow suit and make a profile. A Linkedin profile appeals to most businesses in most verticals.

LinkedIn’s Network Reach

Within the last six months, LinkedIn had 996.2 million total visits globally, which is approximately 166 million visits a month.

Is LinkedIn Mobile Friendly?

Yes. LinkedIn for mobile is available in the App Store and Google Play Store.

Other LinkedIn Notes

It isn’t as necessary to be continually posting things on this platform as it is on others, but it’s a good idea to make sure business profile information is always up to date.


 

#6 Instagram

Instagram is social network and platform for mobile photo and video sharing. Users can take pictures and videos, and share them either publicly or privately via the app.

how to use instagram for marketing

How Much Does It Cost to Get an Instagram Business Listing?

Businesses can create an Instagram profile for free, and can advertise on Instagram for a fee. Here are some ideas if you want to be creative about promoting a business on Instagram for free, and you can see the top four Instagram trends of 2016 to stay up to date with the app.

Who Uses Instagram?

Nearly 78 million Americans (24% of US online adults) use Instagram. Within the last month, Instagram had 43.6 million unique US visitors.

Instagram is used:

  • slightly more by women and slightly less by men
  • slightly more by those aged 18-34 and much less by those aged 55-65+
  • more by those who earn $60K-$100K and $100K+; less by those who earn $0-$30K
  • more by African-Americans, Caucasians and Hispanics; less than the internet average by African, Asian, and “other” demographic groups

The Importance of Instagram as a Business Directory

Again, it depends on the industry of the company and what type of product or service they offer. Businesses may or may not want to spend the time to create a profile on Instagram. It is free, but is a platform that has strong visual appeal and is not ideal for all businesses (unless they get creative). Instagram is the ideal platform for brands that have a unique product that can be showcased through strong imagery.

What is the Size of Instagram’s User Base?

Within the last month, Instagram had 1.5 billion total unique visits globally (Similarweb).

Is Instagram Mobile Responsive?

Yes. Instagram is available in the App Store and Google Play Store. In fact, Instagram is nearly a mobile only application, not allowing users to post from a desktop.

Other Instagram Considerations

Much like the other social media platforms, information on Instagram moves quickly. Businesses need to post consistently to ensure their following knows they are active and passionate about that community.


 

#7 Bing

Bing is a web search engine owned by Microsoft. Bing Places for Business is a Bing portal where local business owners can add a listing for their business on the Bing network.

bing for business

Who Uses Bing’s Business Listings Directory?

Within the last month, Bing had 76.1 million unique US visitors.

Bing is used:

  • more by women and less by men
  • slightly more by those aged 45-54
  • more by those with no college or some college education
  • more by those who earn $60K-$100K and $100K+; less by those who earn $0-$30K
  • more by those who view the site from school and less by those who view the site from home
  • more by Asians and Caucasians; less than the internet average by African, African American, Hispanic, Middle Eastern and “other” demographic groups

The Importance of Bing’s Local Business Directory

For businesses with a target market is the US, Bing may be a good alternative—76.1 million visitors a month is a large volume of searches. Businesses may have a better chance of standing out by putting their listing on Bing, since less people are advertising here than Google. This could be especially true if businesses decide to do pay-per-click advertising on Bing (aborg.com).

Bing’s Network Span

Within the last month, Bing had 1.1 billion total unique visits globally (Similarweb).

Is Bing Mobile Responsive? 

Yes. Bing has a mobile browser in the App Store and Google Play Store.

Additional Bing Business Listing Related Notes

Reasons to Get Your Business Listed On Yelp’s Local Business Directory

Contrary to popular belief, Yelp isn’t just for restaurant reviews. With 36.3 million unique visitors, the Yelp site sees a large volume of local customers. Since a business can list themselves on Yelp’s local business directory for free, it is a good idea to get a business listing up on the site and let people leave reviews. Of course, once businesses do this, it is essential that they manage their Yelp reviews appropriately (here are the 11 most hilarious Yelp reviews). Businesses can manage reviews on the site themselves, or use a software and/or service to help manage feedback. Again, look for software or services that meet the needs and budget of the business.

tripadvisor marketing strategy

The Cost to List on TripAdvisor’s Online Business Directory

While businesses can register and claim their business listing on TripAdvisor’s online business directory, it isn’t free. Costs levels are dependent on the type of business. Once a business signs up and pays the associated fees, they can access some tools and widgets. Businesses can also pay to promote their business listing on a Cost Per Click (CPC) basis. If you are interested in how it works, there’s a step by step guide.

Within the last month, TripAdvisor had 29.2 million unique US visitors.

  • substantially more by Caucasians and much less than the internet average by other groups (African, African American, Hispanic, Middle Eastern and “other”)

Reasons to Get Your Business Listed On TripAdvisor’s Online Business Directory

Since TripAdvisor is a travel site, this site makes the most sense to list a local business if they are a hotel (motel and bed and breakfast, as well), vacation rental property, restaurant or local attraction/destination. To list a business on TripAdvisor’s local directory, the site has specific requirements per category. If a business meets the requirements and are a hotel/vacation property rental/local attraction and the cost on the sites make sense for them, then the size of visitors and traffic the site receives make it a good option to consider. Of course, being listed on TripAdvisor means businesses are opening themselves up to reviews and should know how to respond appropriately to feedback and reviews.

A TripAdvisor Local Business Listing’s Potential Reach

Within the last month, TripAdvisor had 142 million total unique visits globally (Similarweb).

Is TripAdvisor’s Business Directory Mobile Friendly?

Why Businesses Should Get Listed on MapQuest’s Business Directory

Although MapQuest went from having nearly all of the online mapping market to sharing that with dozens of competitors (Google Maps being the obvious Goliath), they are still a highly referenced and relevant site.  AOL purchased MapQuest for over a billion dollars in 1999, and in 2015, Verizon purchased the company for nearly four times that amount, making it anything but obsolete and a worthy directory to consider listing your business on for local search.

The Network Size of MapQuest’s Business Directory

Within the last month, MapQuest had 35.6 million total unique visits globally (Similarweb).

Is it Safe to Say That MapQuest’s Business Directory is Mobile Responsive?

The Importance of Angie’s List as an Online Business Directory

Before signing up for the site, businesses should do some research to make sure it is right for their type of business and matches the type of service they offer. Also, check to see if there is a local chapter, and how much it costs for consumers to join the site. If the price to join is low, that means that there aren’t many members in the area. If there aren’t many competitors on there yet, it is likely a good idea for businesses to get on Angie’s, especially since you can get a business listing on the site for free.

Since the site is an established one with authority, it can be good for building links to rank in Google and other search engines. Also, members have to pay for access to the site, so if they are willing to pay to see the reviews, it means that they are serious about their home and the investment in it.
