As you may know, in the realm of SEO, backlinks are an important factor which are taken into consideration when Google decides how to rank a website. Submitting your website to various different business directories is just one part of the process for building a website backlink profile.
Not only do most business directories provide a direct link to your website but they also help with business exposure. Search engines such as Google; Bing & Yahoo eventually learn to recognise your business by collecting data from all over the web which includes location; telephone number and the type of business being operated.
Below we’ve provided a completely free list of UK business directories which you can use to obtain valuable website backlinks to help improve your SERP (Search Engine Rank Position). All of these business directories are loved by Google and can be quickly indexed once submissions go live.
Please remember, when submitting to these business directories it’s advised to always carryout a quick search to see if your business is already listed on the directory as there is nothing worse than spending time repeating an already completed task.
Enjoy!
