The Trade Finder is a UK local business directory. At DR 82 it is the second strongest directory on our list, behind only LinkedIn.

Why The Trade Finder matters

  • Domain Rating 82
  • General UK business directory

The submission flow offers top-of-category placement at £10 to £99. The free listing is complete without it and the SEO value is identical.

What you need to list

  • Verified UK business address
  • Business name matching Companies House, where applicable
  • Business category
  • Email verification

What works

  • +Domain Rating 82, the highest-authority free UK directory we have found
  • +Genuinely free listing, the paid options are placement upsells only
  • +Straightforward 28-field submission form, no membership required
  • +Category structure covers trades and professional services

What to watch

  • -Paid upsells are pushed hard during submission, at £10 to £99
  • -Newer directory, so less recognised by customers than Yell or Trustpilot

Best for these UK industries

The Trade Finder is particularly relevant for these business types, but works as a citation source for any UK business.
