An independent UK business directory and quote-request platform operated by FreeIndex Ltd since 2003. Listing is free with a priced optional upgrade, registration requires a confirmed email address, and the operator explicitly rejects duplicate registrations and franchisee entries.
Domain Rating est un instantané daté d’Ahrefs de l’autorité du domaine. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating is measured by Ahrefs and read through their public Domain Rating API. Each value carries the date it was read and describes the whole domain that was measured, not the individual page it appears beside. Where several records are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated reading rather than each carrying a figure of its own. A record shown as not measured is a record nobody has a reading for, which is not the same as a record measured at zero. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, trafic estimé and domaines référents, so they are not published for any record.
The cost position is stated openly and precisely, with the standard tier priced at Free and the upgrade at “Only £9.95 a month, or £99.50 a year” — rather than hidden behind a sales call.
The operator identifies itself fully: “FreeIndex Ltd”, “Ltd Company No: 05716323”, and “a small independent UK company which has been owned, run and developed by its directors since 2003”.
Registration requires a working email address before anything can be contributed, which is a real if limited barrier: “We will send you an email once you have registered with a link in it to confirm you have a working email address.”
The operator actively works against duplicate and low-quality entries — “All duplicates are rejected” — and normalises submitted names, stating that “Extra words like ‘Cheap London Builder’ will be removed”.
The operator commits against a common directory nuisance: “We have not and never will engage in any kind of cold calling, spamming, up-selling or other aggressive marketing tactics”.
Limites
What the email step confirms is a working email address — nothing more. It is not verification of the business, of its identity, or of the registrant’s authority to represent it, and no such verification is asserted.
There is no claim flow. The operator directs existing-business cases away from one: “Do not re-register if your business is already on the site. Either login or contact us . All duplicates are rejected.” Creating is confirmed; claiming is not merely undocumented but routed elsewhere.
Franchisees and branches cannot register in their own right — “Franchisee’s and branches are automatically rejected. Get your head office to register and add you as a sub listing.”
An account is required before a listing can be created, so this is not an anonymous submission.
Reviews exist on the platform, but whether a business can respond to them is not documented and is not asserted. The paid tier’s review feature concerns displaying Google reviews, which is a different thing from replying on FreeIndex.
The operator markets ranking and lead outcomes on its advertising pages. Those are marketing claims and are not adopted here.
A listing is a directory entry. It is not evidence that a business is solvent, currently trading, licensed, or checked beyond what the operator documents here.
No ranking, indexing, traffic or lead outcome is asserted. The operator markets outcomes; this record does not adopt them.
UK businesses wanting a free listing on a directory whose paid tier is priced openly rather than sold by phone.
Trades and services businesses that want inbound quote requests as well as a profile.
Head-office businesses that can add branches as sub-listings under one registration.
Non recommandé pour
Franchisees and individual branches registering independently. The operator states these are automatically rejected.
Businesses already listed. The operator states duplicates are rejected and directs you to log in or make contact instead.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
