business directories
Commercial entity indexes
Business directories are listings of companies organized by category, location, or industry.
Traditionally published as phone books or trade publications, they now exist primarily online: She found a plumber through the local business directory.
Yellow Pages was the classic example.
Modern versions include Yelp, Google Business, and industry-specific databases that help consumers find services and help businesses gain visibility.
