Business Directories GB list 2013

As in previous years, we did some research to pinpoint some of the most important business directories in GB. The list didn't change much considering the number of these directories, but in some cases there are dramatic changes in the Alexa Traffic Rank compared to our statistics for 2012: some websites managed to stay on top, while others suffered a significant fall in traffic. Our list contains 63 business directories for GB.

2012 Top Business Directories in the UK

We have created a list of 60 + 1 business directories from the UK and analyzed them based on a number of criteria (PageRank, Alexa GB Traffic Rank, Sites in Google, number of monthly visitors). We have ranked them according to the collected Alexa data but this is not representative statistics.

The last column of the list indicates the change of Alexa Traffic Rank of those business directories that were analyzed last year and there are many other directories that have made it to the list in 2012 for the first time. As long as in 2011 we looked at 47 online directories, this year we have expanded our list to include a higher number of websites offering information on businesses.
