Business Directories

Two levels of directory intelligence

Highest authority business directories

Ranked by Domain Rating, a dated Ahrefs snapshot of the measured domain's authority. 295 of 295 records carry a measurement. A high Domain Rating describes the domain; it does not guarantee that a listing there is valuable, indexed, followed, or that a profile page inherits the domain's authority.

Best business directories

Ranked by PetroHrys Score, a first-party editorial assessment of how useful, trustworthy and relevant a directory is for businesses. It is not a Domain Rating, an SEO or authority metric, or a review rating. How the score is produced.

Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. 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, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.

Global directories

54 directories are global in scope: they accept businesses regardless of country. They are listed separately because a scope is not a place.

Methodology

Every directory is checked by hand before publication. Each record stores what the directory accepts, whether listing is free or paid, whether verification or manual review is required, and the date it was verified. Nothing is published from an automated crawl, and no value is estimated or inferred.
