A UK business directory operated by Outrank Limited, a Middlesbrough search-marketing company. It functions as a directory with listings and reviews, but is built and marketed as a ranking instrument — and the operator’s own terms disclaim the search outcomes its marketing pages promise.
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 values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. 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.
The operator is fully identified in its own terms: “Bizify.co.uk is a site operated by Outrank Limited trading as “bizify” … registered in England and Wales under company number 11723162”.
The free tier is stated without qualification: “Any registered business, based in the UK, can sign up for a free business listing on bizify.”
The creation route is documented rather than implied — “All you need to do is sign in and follow the on screen instructions to create your listing.”
Consumer reviews are part of the documented product: the operator describes users “who have used a business that is listed with bizify, and would like to leave a review of the product or service they received”.
Limitations
The operator contradicts its own marketing. The site promises that listings “rank” and are “built to rank too”, while the terms state: “We do not provide any warranties or guarantees as to the outcome of any of the Advertising Services, including but not limited to traffic driven to your website, orders for your goods or services, and placement of your website on any search engines.” The disclaimer is the binding text.
This is a directory operated by a search-marketing company — “Part of the Outrank Ecosystem”, with a “Free SEO report” among its own links. That context matters when judging what a listing here is for.
An account is required before a listing can be created: the submission route redirects to a login page, so this is not an anonymous submission.
The FAQ refers in passing to having “claimed your listing”, but no claim workflow is documented anywhere, so claiming is NOT asserted and the listing action is recorded as create only.
The operator gives two different registered addresses for itself on the same site — one in its terms and another in its FAQ — which is a small but real inconsistency in its own disclosures.
The audience and customer figures on the site are the operator’s own claims and have not been independently checked.
Whether verification is required, and by what method, is not documented, so nothing about verification is asserted.
Reviews exist, but whether a business can respond to them is not documented and is not asserted.
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-registered businesses wanting an additional free directory listing with a named, companies-house-identified operator.
Not recommended for
Businesses choosing a directory for search-ranking reasons. The operator’s own terms disclaim exactly that outcome.
Businesses outside the UK. The operator restricts free listings to UK-based registered businesses.

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.
