DB Digital Publishes Digital Directory - A Free South Africa Business Directory Built to Boost SME SEO

DB Digital has launched Digital Directory, a premium yet free South Africa business directory designed to help small businesses get found online and win local leads. The platform lets owners create rich listings, appear in category and city searches, and collect enquiries without paywalls. It is built and operated by DB Digital Marketing Agency in Cape Town.

What Digital Directory Offers

• Free listings with business details, multiple do-follow website links, images, hours, video embeds, contact options, and many more features on the way.
• Search by category, product, service, city, or area from a central hub.

• Roadmap features: bookings and payments for services, events, and accommodation (coming soon).
• Job and project posting tools to source providers.

Why It Matters for SMEs and SEO
