A business directory on the Web is a collection of listings that are grouped together by category. These listings display when a visitor accesses the directory website and performs a search. Your listing on the directory typically contains your business name, a description of what you offer, and your website, which is an ideal way to promote your offerings and give future customers a way to find you. Use an online directory to submit your information and get your business listed.
