How Do I Claim and Update My Business on Directory Sites?

Directories are one of the fastest and easiest ways to raise your visibility in both AI search and Google results. When AIs like ChatGPT or Perplexity look for reliable businesses to recommend, they often pull from trusted directories that verify real companies.

Start by claiming or updating your profiles on Yelp, Tripadvisor, Trustpilot, Google Business Profile, Angi, and BBB — and any others that appear in your citation list below.

Add:

• Clear business details (name, phone, address, hours, website)
• A short description of your services
• Photos of your work or team
• A few fresh reviews from real customers

Examples:

• A restaurant should update its menu and add food photos on Yelp and Google.
• A contractor or roofer should include before-and-after images on Angi or BBB.
• A dentist or clinic should check Healthgrades and Zocdoc listings.
• A hotel or tour company should keep Tripadvisor and Expedia pages active.

Active, consistent profiles tell AIs your business is real, current, and trusted. Even a few strong listings can make a measurable difference in your diibAI Visibility Score.
