How to list your startup on Cataloxy
TL;DR
Cataloxy is a free business directory with 19 country editions, from the USA, Canada and the UK to India, Spain and Poland. A standard company page costs nothing, and a paid GOLD status buys extra visibility at prices shown only inside your account. It suits founders who want one more citation, but the link to your website runs through a script, so expect no SEO link value.
What is Cataloxy?
Cataloxy is an online catalogue of companies, products, services, jobs and CVs. Each country has its own site: cataloxy.us for the USA, cataloxy.com for Canada and cataloxy.co.uk for the UK, plus editions from India and South Africa to Mexico, Poland and the Netherlands. In October 2026 the US edition counted 5,369,630 companies and 3,795,739 products and services, and the Canadian edition counted 176,435 companies.
Every company page belongs to one city, and a weekly rating built from page views and profile completeness sets its position. You can also add products, jobs and news.
Look at the neighbours before you sign up. In October 2026 the Canadian homepage showed "Buy Verified Github Accounts", Ozempic sold by a "Peptide Store UK" filed under Ottawa, and Chinese factories placed in Yukon villages. The GOLD list includes online pharmacies. A large share of the content is SEO filler, and your listing sits right next to it.
Who should submit to Cataloxy?
- Local service businesses in the USA, Canada, the UK or another covered country that want one more consistent citation (name, address, phone).
- Solo founders who sell online: the rules accept individuals who have their own website.
- Skip it if you want backlinks. The website button on a company page is a JavaScript link, and the social profile links carry rel="nofollow".
- Skip it if your brand cannot sit next to spam, or if you expect leads from the directory itself.
How much does Cataloxy cost?
Adding a company is free, and the rules say it stays published for an indefinite time. The paid extra is GOLD status: your logo appears in the sidebar of catalogue pages, you get a partner badge and your rating goes up. Cataloxy publishes no GOLD prices; the payment options appear in your company menu after you sign up.
How do you share your startup on Cataloxy?
- Open the add company page for the USA, or pick your country edition from the list at the bottom of the page.
- Sign up with Google, or with an email and password, and confirm the activation email. Cataloxy blocks unconfirmed accounts after 3 days.
- Add your company: official name (no service keywords in the name field), city, address, one main website, contact email and a description. Pick the headings yourself and fill in the keywords field.
- Wait for moderation. Cataloxy moderates every new company and can remove pages that list someone else's website or draw reasonable complaints.
- Create a separate page for each city where you have an office, as the rules require.
Tips to get more out of Cataloxy
- Copy your name, address and phone number exactly from your Google Business Profile so the citation matches.
- Add two or three products or services and an open job: the rules count them toward your page rating.
- Share your Cataloxy page in your own channels if you want it to climb the lists. The rules say links from other websites lift the rating more than internal links.
Our verdict
Cataloxy works, costs nothing and has a huge US edition. The spam around your listing and the script-only website link make it a low-priority citation. Add it after Google Business Profile and the main national directories, never before.
