How to list your startup on Bunity
TL;DR
Bunity is a global business directory, run from London, that claims 30 million+ listings in 190+ countries. Adding or claiming a listing costs a one-time $3 with no renewal fees, and gives you a profile with photos, a description and a link to your website. It suits startups that sell to customers in one city and want one more consistent business citation.
What is Bunity?
Bunity started in 2017 and is operated by Cedar Creek Ltd in London, according to its About page. It builds most profiles from publicly available business data, so search for your company before creating anything: unclaimed listings show only a name, address and category. Owners claim them to take control and get a Verified badge.
The directory is organised by category and city, with pages such as Marketing in London, Web Design and Development in New York or Real Estate in Bengaluru. Visitors can also open a free reviewer account to write reviews and save businesses, and Bunity states plainly that reviewer accounts cannot create business listings.
Who should list their startup on Bunity?
- Startups with a physical location or a local service area: cafes, clinics, studios, repair and cleaning services.
- Founders building consistent citations (the same name, address and phone number across directories) for local search.
- Agencies and B2B service firms, since Bunity's busiest category pages cover marketing, web design and professional services.
- Skip it if you run a SaaS product or an app and want users, investors or press. People open Bunity to find a local business, and nobody browses it for new products.
How much does Bunity cost?
- Claiming or adding a listing: $3, paid once through Stripe. Bunity promises no monthly fees and no annual renewals.

Tips to get more out of Bunity
- Copy your Google Business Profile details exactly, with the same business name, address and phone number. A citation only helps local search when it matches your other listings.
- Add a photo and a description on day one, because only complete listings qualify for the homepage rotation.
- Pick the city and category a customer would search for, since Bunity's visitors arrive through pages such as Marketing in London.
- Handle the backlink with care. Bunity sells the claim on its dofollow backlink, and Google's spam policies treat links bought to pass ranking signals as link spam. Count it as one citation among many and build no link plan around it.
- The DA of 37 belongs to bunity.com. Your new profile page starts with no authority of its own.
Our verdict
For $3, Bunity gives a startup that serves one city a cheap extra citation and a profile it controls. Software and app startups gain almost nothing here, so spend that time on directories your buyers read.
