As a tradesperson, getting your business listed on industry-relevant citation sites should be a foundational stage of your search engine optimization (SEO) plan.
Developing a consistent presence across top directories for tradespeople helps potential customers to find your business and reach out to you. Getting listed on these sites also better enables search engines to understand what your business is about. It’s all part and parcel of a good strategy for local SEO for contractors.
In the table below, you’ll find the best business listing sites for tradespersons. Not all of these sites will be intended for the country that you operate in, so we’ve added a column to show which country each one is for. There’s also a column highlighting which sites you need to pay to use and which ones are free.
Below the niche list, we’ve also gathered the top general citation sites that most businesses should try to get listed on.
