I call directory submissions a relic of link‑building 101 and a classic spam trap. Most major SERPs now discount low‑tier directories, flagging them as link farms that tank your trust flow.
Tossing junk URLs into generic listings just inflates your spam score, invites manual penalties and wastes crawl budget on dead‑end pages.

Bet only on local directories. Google Business Profile, Apple and Bing are enough.

Yelp can be useful depending on your business nature. I probably forgot one or two, but besides these, forget every single other directories. Waste of time and energy. Google ignores them anyway.
