6. Brabys
Brabys is one of the most established and largest South African business directories with over 1 million unique visitors each month. They boast a very respectable domain authority, and while you might not get much link juice from them, it’s a good marketing opportunity.
7. saYellow
saYellow’s business directory has been online since 1997, with over 500 000 listed companies. They boast a solid domain authority and a detailed client zone.
8. Best Directory
Best Directory allows you to choose a couple of keywords, and also include those keywords in your listing’s URL. Your listing also includes a link to your Facebook and Twitter profiles, and you can choose multiple categories. Personally, this is one of my favourite business directories out of the bunch as listings get indexed quickly.
9. The Business Directory
The business directory is a free national business directory targeting South Africa and services over 40 different categories. Users can list and browse by category or location.
10. Yalwa
The reason why Yalwa is 10th on our list of business directories in South Africa is that it might not be completely free. While they have a decent domain authority and a lot of companies listed, your listing will expire. Thereafter if you want to renew your listing, you will have to pay them, although that might be just for certain categories. It is however still a very decent business directory to advertise on.
