B2B and industry directories: Business Directory Submission Service
Submi’s business directory submission reference for Business Directory Submission Service: A B2B directory groups companies by what they sell and who they sell to, so an entry is found by buyers already comparing suppliers in that category.
General and industry directories
A general business directory accepts almost any company and tends to pass little relevant traffic. An industry directory has a narrower audience whose members are closer to buying. Prefer the second kind when one exists for your sector, and use general directories to fill out the company’s presence rather than to bring customers.
What a company entry needs
Most directories ask for a legal or trading name, a website, a category, a short description, a logo and a contact email. Decide which name you will use and keep it identical everywhere. Inconsistent names make it harder to find and correct listings later, and harder for a reader to tell they are the same company.
Choosing the category
Choose the category a buyer would browse, not the one that describes your internal structure. If the directory’s list has no close match, choose the nearest option and let the description carry the specifics. Keep a record of the category chosen on each directory so that it can be reviewed in one pass.
