Top USA Business Directories

Getting your business featured in the best USA business directories should be an early step in your search engine optimization (SEO) strategy. 

Without a presence on these business directories, it’ll be more difficult to get noticed by potential customers or clients, as well as by search engines. 

The best directory sites for North American businesses enjoy millions of views every single month. High traffic is one of the reasons these sites are understood as trustworthy and authoritative by search engines. By building citations on a wide selection of these sites, you’ll start to see some trust and authority passed along to your business website. 

The following table features the top citation sites you should create listings on if you operate a business in the USA.  We’ve only chosen sites for this list that have a good domain authority, thereby helping to maximize your efforts! If you’re after a list of the best free US business directories, we’ve got you covered there too.

How do I get my business listed on US citation sites?

We’ve included links to each site so you can go straight to it, create an account, and upload your business details. This usually takes around 15-20 mins to do per site.

Alternatively, you can build local citations the easy way by letting our citation specialists do the hard work for you. It’s super easy to do. Rather than spending hours going to each site yourself, you create a free Citation Builder account instead. From here you select the sites you want to get listed on and our team will take care of the rest.
