Every business in Bangladesh deserves to be findable online, not just the big brands. A free business directory listing gives your shop, company or service a permanent web presence: your name, category, address and phone number visible to customers exactly when they are searching for what you sell.

You can also submit your company for free in our Bangladesh business directory with addresses, phone numbers and opening hours.

This guide walks you through adding your business to a free online directory in Bangladesh, with the BDTalika free business directory as the main example, plus the other free listings every business should claim.

1. BDTalika free listing

BDTalika is a free business directory for Bangladesh. Click the Free Listing button, enter your business name, category, district, address, phone number and a short description, and your business becomes searchable by customers across the country.

2. Google Business Profile

Google Business Profile is free and puts your business on Google Maps and local search results. Add your address, hours, photos and phone number, then verify by phone or postcard. For local discovery, this is the most powerful free listing in the world.

3. Facebook business page

A Facebook page is free and works as a mini-website for most Bangladeshi customers. Post your products, collect reviews and messages, and put your phone number in the About section where customers expect it.

4. Dhaka Yellow Pages

Dhaka Yellow Pages continues the classic directory format online for the capital. A listing puts you in front of customers who browse category pages rather than search engines.

5. BizBangladesh company profile

BizBangladesh hosts company profiles with descriptions and links, giving your business an additional citation that search engines notice.

6. Khoj Korun listing

Khoj Korun is a local directory where businesses appear by category and area, useful for reaching customers who browse in Bangla.

7. Bikroy shop page

If you sell products, a Bikroy business account gives you a public shop page on the busiest marketplace in Bangladesh, with trust features and direct buyer messages.

  • Specialty: Marketplace shop page

  • Website: bikroy.com

8. Industry association directories

Membership bodies like BASIS (IT), BGMEA (garments) and your local chamber list member businesses on their websites. Joining the relevant association earns you a credible directory entry automatically.

  • Specialty: Credibility plus directory entry

  • Website: basis.org.bd

9. Consistent NAP: the free SEO multiplier

NAP means Name, Address, Phone. Keeping these identical across every directory listing multiplies the value of each one, because search engines trust consistent data. Write your NAP once and reuse it everywhere.

10. Keep your listing fresh

A free listing only works if it is current. Update your phone number, hours and photos whenever something changes, and add new photos or services every few months. Fresh listings rank and convert better.

What to include in your free listing

The exact trade name customers know you by.

Your real category, not a generic one: "interior design firm" beats "service provider".

Full address with road, house and area so customers can navigate.

A phone number that is answered during business hours.

Website and Facebook links, plus 2-3 clear photos.

How to get the most from free listings

Claim BDTalika and Google Business Profile first: they cover directory and search traffic.

Add Facebook and one or two more directories the same week while the information is at hand.

Use identical name, address and phone details everywhere.

Revisit your listings every quarter to update hours, photos and services.

FAQ

Is a business directory listing really free in Bangladesh?

Yes. BDTalika offers free listings, and so do Google Business Profile and Facebook. Some directories sell premium placements or ads, but the standard listings cost nothing.

Do I need a trade license to list my business?

Legally, every business in Bangladesh should hold a trade license, and some directories may request it for verification. A trade license also builds customer trust, so obtain one from your city corporation or pourashava.

How long until my free listing appears?

Usually within minutes to a few days after review, depending on the directory. BDTalika listings go live quickly after a basic check.

Can a free listing really bring customers?

Yes, especially combined: customers searching your category find you on directories and Maps, and consistent listings also improve your visibility in Google search results over time.

Claim your BDTalika listing, verify your Google Business Profile, keep your Facebook page active, and make sure your name, address and phone number match everywhere. Do it once, keep it fresh, and customers will keep finding you.
