What is in this list

Business citations, press and NAP listings — the highest average DR on the list.

Citations are business listings: name, address, phone, category. They carry the highest average DR on the whole list because they are old general-purpose directories rather than software catalogues.

They are also the category where consistency matters more than volume. The same legal name and the same address on every one is the entire point; a scattered set of near-matches is worse than a short consistent set.

What this page leaves out

Software directories, and anything that does not want a real business identity.

How this list is built

Merged from eight public datasets plus entries we added by hand, de-duplicated on registrable domain, then loaded one by one: we open each submission page ourselves rather than trusting a source list.

  • Every row here has a DR reading — this category is well covered by Ahrefs.
  • Some require a verifiable phone number or postal address; fully remote companies will not qualify everywhere.
  • Country-locked directories are kept in the list and marked, not silently dropped.

Using the filters

Search by name or domain, narrow by category, tier and access, and re-sort by Domain Rating, name or when a destination was added. Columns: Domain Rating, link type, price.

How often it is refreshed

Every submission URL is re-probed daily — last check 2026-09-23. Dead pages drop off, recoveries go back on, and Domain Rating is re-read quarterly. The full record is on what changed.

Who this is for

Companies with a verifiable name, address and phone; less useful fully remote.

Questions

Do citations help a software company, or only local businesses?

Less than they help a plumber, more than nothing. They are high-DR general listings, so they contribute baseline references — but they will not send buyers to a SaaS product.

What if the company has no public address?

Skip the ones that require it. Submitting a fake or mailbox address to a citation site is the one mistake in this category that is hard to undo.

Does NAP consistency actually matter?

Yes, and it is the cheapest thing to get right: decide the exact string once, use it everywhere, never abbreviate differently.

Domain Rating is Ahrefs data, fetched per domain and refreshed quarterly (licence).

Pollendo submits to these for you, chases the confirmations, and verifies each listing logged-out at day 7, 14 and 30. You pay for listings that are live, not for submissions sent.
