How to list your startup on FreeListingUSA.com
TL;DR
FreeListingUSA.com is a free US business directory where anyone can add a listing after signing up. Free listings link to your website with rel="nofollow", and featured listings are paid, with prices sent on request. The site is active in October 2026, but its newest listings include casino and betting sites that its own rules ban, so treat it as a low-value citation.
What is FreeListingUSA.com?
FreeListingUSA.com is an online business listing site for the United States, organised by category and by city, with city pages for the largest US cities from New York to Arlington. Its "International Sites" menu links to sister directories: FreeListingIndia.in, GetListedUAE.com, FreeListingUK.com, FreeListingAustralia.com, MalaysiaListings.com, GetListedCanada.com and GetListedNZ.com. The site also runs a blog that sells guest posts, with recent articles on airport taxis, colouring pages and sterile processing jobs.
The directory is busy: new listings went up on 30 October 2026, the day we checked. Quality is another matter. That day's newest listings included a skin-whitening clinic in Islamabad, a German online casino filed under Accounting and two Vietnamese betting sites, although the terms of use ban gambling content. Moderation is light.
Who should submit to FreeListingUSA.com?
- US small businesses and startups with a city address that are adding citations in more directories.
- Local service firms such as contractors, clinics and cleaners, which fill the featured listings and match the audience.
- Skip it if you want SEO links: free listings carry nofollow links.
- Skip it if you sell outside the USA. A sister site in your own country fits better.
- Skip it if your brand should not appear next to gambling and betting spam.
How much does FreeListingUSA.com cost?
A standard listing is free. The "Advertise With Us" page sells three extras: a featured listing (shown on the homepage and the featured page, with no end date), banner ads and guest blogging. No prices are published, so you email the team for a quote. The terms state that a featured listing removed for breaking the content rules is not refunded. One featured listing we checked linked to its website with rel="dofollow", a value search engines treat as a normal followed link.
How do you share your startup on FreeListingUSA.com?
- Open the create listing page. It asks you to log in first.
- Create an account through "Create a new account", or sign in with Google.
- Add your business details. Published listings show name, category, street address, city, state, ZIP code, phone, email, website, description, services, business hours and social profiles.
- Check the content policy before you submit: adult, gambling, unregulated crypto, unregulated forex, MLM and weapons listings are banned.
- If someone else already listed your business, log in and use Claim This Listing on that page to take it over.
Tips to get more out of FreeListingUSA.com
- Use the same name, address and phone number as on your Google Business Profile.
- Open the description with what you do and where ("Bookkeeping software for Denver cafés"), because listing cards cut the text after the first line or two.
- Add business hours and services, which appear as separate blocks on the page.
- Skip the featured upgrade unless the team shows you traffic numbers for your category and city.
- If you also sell in India, the UK, Canada or Australia, add the same business to the matching sister site.
Our verdict
FreeListingUSA.com takes one form, costs nothing and is active. The nofollow links and the gambling spam slipping past its own rules keep it near the bottom of a US citation list. Add it once the big directories are done.
