List your business for free in South Africa
Own a business in South Africa? Help local customers discover your services with a free listing on Easy Directory SA. Trades, contractors, shops, salons and professional service businesses can create a profile that customers can browse by category and location. Explore our South African business area directory to see the local profile selections, then add your actual city and the places your business serves.
The Free plan costs R0 and includes a public business profile, contact details and up to two gallery photos. Start with Free, then compare Premium and Featured if you want paid placement within the directory.
Free means R0. You do not need to pay for Premium or Featured to submit a listing. Create your owner account first; you will be signed in and taken to the listing form. Submit accurate business details for review, then choose an upgrade later only if it suits you.
How to create your free business listing
Open Add Your Business, sign in or create an owner account, and choose the Free plan. Add your business name, category, city or province, accurate contact details and an original description of your services. Include up to two photos that you have permission to use, then submit your listing for review.
Business listing checklist before you submit
- Business identity: use the name customers recognise and a contact number or enquiry route you monitor.
- Location: give the South African city or province where you operate. If customers do not visit a premises, explain your real service area rather than inventing an office address.
- Services: describe the work you actually do, the type of customer you help and what information you need to prepare a quote.
- Evidence: use your own business or project photographs and mention qualifications only when accurate.
- One profile per business location: update an existing profile where possible. If you need to claim or correct a profile, contact the directory team before creating a duplicate.
After approval, open your public profile, check each contact route and share the profile link where it helps your customers. Keep hours, services and contact details current through your Business Account.
Help local customers understand your business
Describe your services or products, the areas you serve and your opening hours. Keep your contact details current and include qualifications or experience only when accurate. Manage your profile through your Business Account. Customers can explore business categories and the directory to find services near them.
Easy Directory SA is a South African business directory where customers can browse businesses by service and location, read the information owners provide, and contact them directly. A listing gives your business a public profile; paid placement increases visibility within this directory. We do not promise search rankings, enquiries or sales.

What business owners can measure
In your Business Account, you can see approximate profile views, phone clicks, WhatsApp clicks, website clicks and successfully sent enquiries. These are activity counts, not unique customers or confirmed calls, quotes, bookings or sales. A click shows that someone used a contact button; it does not mean the business received or answered the call.
How to get started
- Add your business with an accurate description, service category, city, photos and contact details.
- Use your Business Account to update your profile and review its available statistics.
- Compare the Free, Premium and Featured plans. If you choose a paid plan, select the business to upgrade before checkout.
Customers choose whom to contact and should confirm availability, credentials, scope and pricing directly with each business. Easy Directory SA does not independently endorse every listing. Explore our referral rewards pilot and share your suggestions. For listing help or advertising questions, use our contact page.
