How to Add or Claim an Opendi Business Listing

Opendi is an international business directory with a presence in 29 different countries. Each country has its own unique domain but each one operates in the same way. The 29 countries span across 5 continents and it’s become a top business directory to claim to help people discover your local business.

In this guide, we’ll cover how to edit an existing Opendi listing or add a completely new listing to the platform.

Opendi operates across various countries. You will see all country variants on the main page here: https://www.opendi.com/. Each selection will redirect you to the relevant country’s domain.

1. Select the country your business is located in.
   
2. Click the “Create a free listing” button at the top right corner:
3. The first step is to add the business name, description, and the name of the person that potential clients can contact:
4. Next, you need to add the address, phone number, email address (you can choose to show it publicly or keep it hidden), and website URL.Note: It is best NOT to add the state to the address field.

5. Next, add the opening hours:
6. The next step is the selection of the business category. You will need to pick a suitable category from the provided choices. Unfortunately, it is not possible to add custom categories:

1. Go to https://www.opendi.com/ and select the relevant country.
2. Search for your business either by name or category + location:
3. Once you find the relevant profile, click the “Edit listing” button that should be located right next to the address details.If you do not see this function, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and the button should be there, right under the map: 
4. This will direct you to the page you typically see when trying to add a brand-new business. Therefore, you can follow steps 3 onwards from the above section (how to add a brand new listing).
