NZ Business Directories: The Complete List (Updated 2023)

Think of a business directory as a bit of an elevator pitch.

It’s your chance to talk to potential customers and let them know all about you…

…well, not everything of course.

The perfect business directory profile is between 150 – 200 words long and perfectly summarises what your business is, what it does, and how it can help your potential customers.

Aim to follow this loose formula when writing a profile:

• Introduction
  Ask a question, discuss an issue, or make a promise relating to your customer.
• Body
  Quickly introduce who you are, what you do, and your products or services.
• Details
  Discuss how your products and services help address your customer’s issues.
• Outro
  Tell the customer what to do next such as visit your website or give you a call.

Check The Directory For Existing Listings

Additional listings don’t provide your site with any extra value.

Some directories pull your business data from Google My Business or similar sources and add them to their sites automatically, while others let regular users suggest new businesses themselves.

Here are a few easy ways to check:

1. Search the directory using your business’s name:
   
2. These searches aren’t always reliable, so check with Google using the following search string:
   “site:[DIRECTORY URL GOES HERE] [BUSINESS NAME GOES HERE]”
   

Use A Unique Description Every Time

Google frowns on duplicate content. To avoid any issues, write a unique description for each of your listings. This may take a little longer, but not doing so will do more harm for your site than good!

Our list of New Zealand’s best free business directories should be more than enough to get you started, but if you’re looking for additional listing opportunities we’ve included a complete list of paid directories as well.
