Submit to FreeIndex
A UK business directory and review site where people search for local firms, read customer reviews and post requests for quotes. A registered business gets a free profile page with its website link, photos, opening hours and reviews, and can answer leads without paying a fee. Only businesses based in the UK can register, so it fits UK agencies, freelancers and software firms and is no use to a product with no UK base.

How to submit to FreeIndex
Open the FreeIndex submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
FreeIndex asks you to sign up before you can submit.
Have your assets ready
Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse FreeIndex (UK consumers and small businesses looking for local services, comparing customer reviews and asking for quotes), not for search engines.
Wait, then check
We couldn’t confirm how listings are reviewed. Once yours is live, check the details and that the link points to the right page.
Tips for FreeIndex
- The sign-up form checks your location: opened from outside the UK it says only UK-based businesses can advertise and asks a UK member of staff to register instead.
- Search for your business before registering. The sign-up page says every duplicate is rejected, and that franchisees and branches are rejected automatically (the head office registers and adds them as sub listings).
- A free listing gets 3 search keyword tags and one lead reply a day, so choose the three tags with care.
- Customer reviews are what move a profile up their search results, and they supply a widget for showing those reviews on your own site.
From FreeIndex’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for regional startup directories.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- Where the company is registered and where the team is based
- Founding year, team size and stage
- A description in the local language, if the directory publishes in one
- Links to local press, accelerator or programme pages, if you have them
Is FreeIndex worth it?
A followed link, with a low bar
The listing link we inspected was followed, but we couldn’t confirm that anyone reviews listings. Directories that accept everyone tend to carry less weight, so treat it as a small plus, not a priority.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 81 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
- There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
