Tips for this list

  1. Prefer directories with a real review step. If anything gets listed instantly, the directory carries little weight.

  2. Pick the right category inside each directory, and write a fresh description rather than pasting the same paragraph everywhere.

  3. Skip any directory that sells hundreds of links for a fee. That is a link scheme, not a directory.

Questions

Is directory submission still useful for SEO?
Yes, if the directories are relevant and edited. They give citations and discovery traffic, and help search engines confirm your business details. Bulk submission to low-quality directories is not useful and can hurt.
How many free directory submission sites are listed?
507 directories in this list are free or have a free tier, across business, software, startup and AI tool directories.
