Conditional free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Free basic listing exists but the business may already be auto-listed from data-provider feeds — the free route is 'Claim This Business' on the existing profile or the Add Your Business form
- Requires a genuine US business presence with verifiable business details — an online-only SaaS without a US business address/phone may not fit
- Free listing shows competitor ads on your page; Premium (~$399, per site FAQ) removes ads and adds placement/website link prominence
Requirements
- US business presence; business name, address, phone, category, website
- Verification of website and business details during claim/add
- Unclaimed data-feed listings 'receive the lowest priority' until claimed
Prepare before opening the form
- Search the directory first for the business — claim rather than duplicate
- Consistent NAP (name, address, phone) matching other citations
- Business categories (up to 5 additional categories is a paid feature)
- Website URL and verification method access
Workflow
- Search chamberofcommerce.com for the business name
- If listed: open the profile and click 'Claim This Business'; if not: use the Add Your Business page
- Complete business details and verify website/ownership
- Wait for review; decline the Premium upsell unless ad removal/top placement is wanted
- Confirm the live profile page and website link treatment
Watch for
- Site 403s automated fetches — use a browser
- Free listings display ads and competitor businesses on your own profile page
- Not affiliated with local chambers of commerce — it is a private directory despite the name
- Data-feed duplicates are common; claim the canonical record rather than adding a new one
What counts as live
A claimed business profile page is publicly viewable on chamberofcommerce.com with the correct name, address, phone, category and website link
Not verified
- Whether the free tier's website link is dofollow or even shown (link prominence may be a premium feature)
- Current review turnaround and verification method
- Whether purely online SaaS businesses without a local presence are accepted
