How this list is organised

Every country page sorts directories into three tiers, with industry tags so you can filter to just what's relevant to your business.

Tier 1: Foundational

Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Apple Maps, Facebook. Non-negotiable for every local business in every country.

Tier 2: Major

Established third-party directories with real domain authority and indexable listing pages: Yelp, Yellow Pages, BBB, plus the country-specific incumbents.

Tier 3: Niche & long-tail

Smaller directories and industry-specific platforms. Worth claiming when they match your category; ignorable otherwise.

Keep your details the same everywhere

Use this index as a checklist: claim the core directories for your country, keep your name, address and phone identical on every one, and fix any mismatch at the source.
