Business directories are a quick and reliable way to increase your website’s domain authority and consequently improve your ranking for targeted search queries, but how do you choose which directories to use?
Its essential to choose business directories with good domain authority so that some of that can be passed on to you. I spent a few hours last weekend using ahref’s authority checker to lookup the domain authority of countless directories and I came up with the following list.
