Yellow Pages Directory (formerly YellowPagesGoesGreen.org)
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 business listing exists but is gated to real US local businesses with verifiable NAP (name, address, phone) data; site pushes an annual premium package for extra categories and verified perks
Requirements
- US business with a real street address and phone number — this is a Yellow Pages/White Pages citation directory, not a SaaS launch board
- Batch domain yellowpagesgoesgreen.org is the former brand; the live site is yellowpagesdirectory.com
- Online-only SaaS products without a local business address do not fit the directory model
Prepare before opening the form
- Canonical NAP: business name, physical address, local phone number — must match other citations
- Business category selection and a short plain-text description
- Decide whether the listing is claimed as an existing record or added new
Workflow
- Go to yellowpagesdirectory.com and use the 'Add Business' nav entry
- Search for an existing listing first; claim it if present, otherwise create a new free listing
- Submit NAP + category + description; expect verification before the listing is confirmed
- Decline the premium package upsell if only a citation is wanted
Watch for
- Site 403-blocks automated fetches — verify form fields manually in a browser
- Aggressive premium-package upsell (~$49.95+/yr per third-party reporting); the free tier exists but is positioned as a lead-in
- Pure-SaaS products without a US local presence will not produce a meaningful citation
What counts as live
The business listing resolves on a public yellowpagesdirectory.com listing page via the site's search or browse-by-listing-id
Not verified
- Exact free-tier field set and verification method (phone/postcard) — official pages bot-blocked during research
- Current turnaround time for free listings
- Whether outbound website links on free listings are followed
