When it comes to making your business discoverable online, you need to be where your customers are searching. Enter Opendi—an international business directory operating across 29 countries on five continents. If you’re looking to expand your business’s visibility, claiming or adding your listing on Opendi is a smart move. Here’s how you can do it.
How to Add a Brand New Opendi Listing
Adding a new listing on Opendi is straightforward, but with a few quirks. Here’s your step-by-step guide:
1. Choose Your Country
Head over to Opendi's main page, where you’ll see a list of country-specific domains. Click on the country where your business is located. Each domain operates the same way but is tailored to the local audience.
2. Create Your Listing
Once on your country’s Opendi page, click the “Create a free listing” button at the top right corner.
You’ll be prompted to enter basic information about your business: the business name, a description, and the name of the contact person for potential clients.
3. Add Contact Information
Next up, fill in your business’s address, phone number, and email address. You can choose whether your email is displayed publicly. Also, include your website URL to drive traffic directly from your listing.
Pro Tip: Skip adding the state in the address field. Opendi automatically assigns the correct state based on your zip code.
4. Set Your Business Hours
Now, input your business’s opening hours. This helps customers know exactly when you’re available.
5. Choose Your Business Category
Select the most appropriate category from the provided list. Unfortunately, Opendi doesn’t allow custom categories, so pick the closest match.
6. Review and Confirm
Finally, review all the details you’ve entered. If everything looks good, click the blue confirmation button at the bottom of the page. Don’t worry if the text is in German—it simply means “Entry confirmation.”
7. Verify Your Listing
Check your email for a verification message from Opendi. Click the link in the email to verify your listing. Once you’ve done that, your listing will be reviewed by Opendi’s moderators and published upon approval.
How to Update an Existing Opendi Listing
If your business is already listed on Opendi but needs a few tweaks, updating it is possible, though not as intuitive as you might like. Here’s how to do it:
1. Find Your Business Listing
Go to Opendi's website and select your country. Use the search bar to find your business by name or by searching for your category and location.
2. Edit Your Listing
Once you’ve located your listing, look for the “Edit listing” button next to your address details. If it’s not there, scroll to the bottom of the page, and you’ll find the button under the map.
Clicking the button will take you to a familiar page—the same one used to create a new listing. From here, you can update your business’s information just as if you were starting from scratch.
3. Submit Your Changes
After making the necessary updates, follow the same process as adding a new listing: review, confirm, and verify. Your changes will be reviewed by Opendi before going live.
Wrapping Up
Getting your business listed on Opendi can significantly boost your online presence, especially in international markets. While the process might have a few quirks, the potential for increased visibility makes it worth the effort.
