How Aus Business Directory Works

Home » How It Works

Aus Business Directory makes it easy for local Australian businesses to be found online. Start with a free listing, then upgrade to a Featured Listing if you want extra visibility and more leads. No subscriptions, no lock-ins.

Step 1: Add Your Business for Free

First, create your free business listing. This is the base for everything else.

Click Add Your Business and register.
Enter your business name, contact details, and website.
Add a clear description of your services and the areas you cover.
Upload at least one relevant image or logo if possible.

We focus on quality, so listings with no real description, no relevant images or spammy links may be removed.

Step 2: We Review and Approve Your Listing

First, create your free business listing. This is the base for everything else.

Click Add Your Business and register.
Enter your business name, contact details, and website.
Add a clear description of your services and the areas you cover.
Upload at least one relevant image or logo if possible.

We focus on quality, so listings with no real description, no relevant images or spammy links may be removed.

Step 3: Customers Find and Contact You

When your listing is live, people can discover your business in several ways:

By browsing categories like Trades, Home & Garden, Automotive, Health, and more.
By searching by location, such as state, city, or region.
By using keywords relevant to your products or services.

From your listing, customers can visit your website, call you directly, or get in touch using the contact details you provide.

Step 4 (Optional): Upgrade to a Featured Listing

ant more visibility and better placement in the directory? You can upgrade an existing free listing to a Featured Listing.

Free Listing vs Featured Listing

Free Listing – standard position in your category, basic details, and manual approval when we have time.
Featured Listing – highlighted in your category, more visible layout, logo and images, longer description, and a clear link to your website.

Important: Featured Listing is an upgrade, not a new listing

Our Featured Listing service is only for upgrading an existing free listing to get more views and leads.

Step 1: Create your free listing and wait for it to be approved.
Step 2: When it is live, visit the Featured Listings page.
Step 3: Purchase your preferred Featured Listing duration (3 months, 6 months, or 12 months).
Step 4: After payment, send us only the URL of your existing listing so we can upgrade it.

You do not need to send all your business information again. We use the details already in your free listing and apply the Featured upgrade to that same listing.

If you need a new listing created + Featured Listing together, please contact us for a quote before purchasing.

Simple, one-off Featured Listing options

3-Month Featured Listing – short-term boost or trial.
6-Month Featured Listing – steady exposure for half a year.
12-Month Featured Listing – best for long-term visibility and SEO support.

All Featured Listings are paid via one-off PayPal payment. No subscriptions, no auto-renew, and no credit card details stored on our site.
