20 Australian Directories To Submit Your Website URL To
In past years online directories were a great place to lodge your business information not only for exposure but for backlinking as well. Unfortunately spammers started using this option and Google no longer places a lot of authority to directory back links. While this is the case, it can't hurt and some of these directories do spend a significant amount of money on advertising which may expose your business to a client that might not otherwise find you.
This is a decent amount of work and knowing that I do offer a service to do this for you for $60.00. I'm pretty quick at it now so I have discounted that price pretty heavily. Complete this order form and I will send you an invoice. Once that is paid I will add your information to these directories.
You should have already created your Google My Business page & created a business listing page on Facebook so I've not included these in this list. Google My Business must be created by yourself as there will be verification via phone or email that I can't do so I don't offer this service myself.

While as I say most of these directories won't make you magically appear on page 1 of Google (let that obsession go!), every little bit helps. Think of it more as a reinforcement of your business name and appearance in as many places as you can. While it may not gather you massive link juice, the power of repetition is strong and if a client sees your business in multiple locations that will help to enforce their trust of you as a secure local business.
I have created a Google sheet
with the list for you to check off those you have done. You will need to make a copy of it into your own Google Account.

About Jenny
I started my IT career in Database Administration and .Net coding. While I LOVED that work, I realised very quickly that I also wanted a life. To be a top end coder or DB Admin, you have to comit your downtime to constantly learning and evolving and while that is also something I love, I wanted it to be my work and not my life. So I morphed my love of design with my knowledge of all things SEO and moved into building small business websites.
Why small business websites? I'm a small business myself and I know how hard it can be so I wanted to give my clients a great service, with an approachable point of contact where no question was a "stupid question".
