Do directories still help with SEO in 2024?
Top UK directories for 2024
We’ve never done a lot of work on the Licorne SEO. Hell, we don’t even have Google My Business set up, but we do know the core of SEO: provide website users with good quality content, and let other people know that your content exists.
Here’s a list of UK directories to list your website with in 2024:
General directories
These directories are a great place to start. They will cover most types of business.
Google Business Profile: if you have a physical place of business, you need to have a Google Business Profile. This tells Google that you are real and they like it. You’ll also start ranking on the map pack for local businesses.
