How to list your business on Justdial for free

Updated 3 Oct 2026 by TopOnMaps team

Quick answer

Go to Justdial's free listing page, enter your business mobile number and confirm it with the OTP. Then add your business name, address, hours and photos, and pick your categories. If Justdial already has a listing for you, claim it with the same mobile number instead of making a new one. The basic listing is free. Paid ads are optional.

Who should list on Justdial

  • Shops, service providers and clinics whose customers search by area, like "AC repair in Andheri" or "tailor near me".
  • Businesses that already get calls from Justdial and want to control what the listing says.
  • Anyone whose old Justdial listing shows a wrong number or address.

You can skip it if

  • You sell only online with no local customers. Justdial is built around local search.
  • You can't answer calls during business hours. Missed enquiries will hurt more than help.

Free or paid?

  • What's free

    Justdial says the basic listing is free. You can add your details, photos, categories and reply to reviews and questions.

  • What's paid

    Justdial sells ads that place you higher in search results and send you customer details. Prices depend on your city and plan, so ask Justdial for a quote and read the terms before you pay.

How to list on Justdial

  1. Search for your business first

    Search Justdial for your business name and area. Many businesses are already listed, sometimes with old details. If you find yours, claim it rather than starting fresh, so you don't end up with two listings.

  2. Start with your business mobile number

    Open the Free Listing page (or the claim link on your existing listing) and enter the mobile number you want customers to call. Use a number you'll keep for years.

  3. Confirm the OTP

    Justdial sends a one-time code to that number. Enter it to prove the number is yours. This is how Justdial ties the listing to you.

  4. Add your business details

    Fill in the business name, full address with landmark and PIN code, opening hours and photos. Copy these from your Google profile so they match word for word.

  5. Choose your categories carefully

    Pick categories for what you actually do. Justdial uses them to decide which searches show your listing. Too many loose categories brings calls you can't serve.

  6. Finish the profile

    Add your website and social links, products or services, and a rate card or menu if you have one. Then reply to existing reviews and questions.

How verification works

  • Justdial confirms your mobile number with an OTP when you list or claim. That is the main check for a free listing.
  • If a listing is already linked to a number you no longer use, the claim flow may not reach you. Contact Justdial support from the site and explain the change.

Keep it matching your Google profile

  • Use your real business name, the same one on your signboard and Google profile. Don't add the area or services to the name.
  • Write the address in the same order as on Google: shop number, building, street, area, city, PIN code.
  • Use one main phone number across Justdial and Google. If Justdial shows an old number too, remove it.
  • When you change your number or move, update Justdial on the same day you update Google.

Common problems

  • Two Justdial listings for the same business

    Often one was made years ago by someone else. Claim the right one, then ask Justdial support to merge or remove the duplicate.

  • Lots of sales calls after listing

    Listing your number publicly can bring calls from advertisers, including about paid plans. You can decline them; the free listing stays live.

  • Old number still showing

    Edit it from your business login. If the listing is locked to a number you can't access, contact support with proof of ownership.

Questions

Do I need the Justdial app to list my business?

No. Justdial says you can create and manage the listing from its website or mobile browser. The app adds some extra tools.

Will a Justdial listing help my Google ranking?

It won't move you up by itself. What helps is that Google sees the same name, address and phone in many places, so it trusts your details more.

Do I have to buy a paid plan?

No. The basic listing is free. Paid plans are only for extra visibility, so judge them by the calls they bring.

Is your Google profile right?

Directory listings work best when they copy a correct Google profile. Get a free audit of your listing and see what to fix first.
