LocalPages
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.
Requirements
- Local-business fit — this is a US local citation directory (restaurants, hotels, services, shops); a pure SaaS/software product only fits if it operates as a local business with an address
- Free claim requires signing up for an account (/signup) then using /business-listing/add
- NAP data (name, address, phone) is the core listing content
Prepare before opening the form
- Business name, address, phone, website, category
- Business description and operating hours
- An email for the account signup
Workflow
- Create an account at https://localpages.com/signup
- Open https://localpages.com/business-listing/add ('Claim Your Listing')
- Search for an existing listing first — claim it if present, otherwise add a new one
- Submit business details; expect a verification step typical of claim flows
Watch for
- Yext partnership means upsells — claiming '40+ other sites' through Yext is a paid syndication service, not part of the free LocalPages listing
- Homepage categories template renders placeholders ('{{x.title}}') — the site looks half-maintained
- Only worthwhile if the company has a real US local presence; a remote SaaS with no address does not belong
- An odd 'Shop' section and matrimony/services categories suggest a generic directory script — modest value
What counts as live
The business appears in LocalPages search results for its city/category with a public profile page
Not verified
- Verification method for claimed listings (phone/email/postcard — not shown publicly)
- Whether edits propagate to the Yext network or stay local
- Review/approval turnaround for new listings
