Business Directory Philippines: List of Local Companies

Back when the Internet was not as widely available as it is today, the phone book was the place for businesses to reach consumers easily.

Now that 80% of consumers use search engines to find local businesses, phone books have become obsolete - or rather, they adapted to times and migrated online. 

You can call this a business directory or a web directory. 

Below, I have a list of business directory in The Philippines that works. If you're looking for a good source of business listings, you can use this list.

Why Build Philippine Directory Links?

Also called online directories or business listings, web directories are a great way to reach relevant, ready-to-buy consumers.

There are general business directories but you also have ones that cater to a specific industry like real estate, or specific locations like Metro Manila

If done right, directory link building can provide your business a good source of relevant traffic and trustworthy links. Directory links can be fairly cheap as well.

Top Business Directory Philippines List

Here is a list of Philippine-based online directories that worked for me. Please note that this is a mix of free and paid directories. Some have special requirements which I have also listed below.

Updated September 4, 2023. Someone emailed me that some of the directories are inaccessible. I've crossed out those that are no longer working and added 3 new directories to the list. 

Updated April 30, 2024. Just revisited this page for its yearly update. I have removed all expired domains and added 18 new directories to the list.

I suggest aiming for an approved listing with a link to your website on Yellow Pages and Yelp first, and work your way from there.

Please note, that some of these directories have very long approval times. Some will also offer a "free" listing then upsell you with a paid subscription for additional features.

Try to apply to as many as you can because not every directory will approve your listing.
