Why get listed? Because that’s how your business gets found. Whether you run a small bakery in Port Louis or a tour company in Grand Baie, your customers are already searching for businesses like yours — online. Getting listed in the MauriBiz business directory helps you appear in those searches, reach more people, and build trust with your audience.
It’s the easiest way to boost your visibility without needing a full website or technical knowledge. You can start with a free listing, upgrade anytime, and show up where locals, expats, and tourists are actively looking.
In the sections below, we’ll walk you through exactly how a directory listing benefits your business — and why thousands of Mauritian consumers are more likely to find you because of it.
The Digital Landscape in Mauritius Is Changing
Mauritius is going digital — fast. Every day, more customers search online before they shop, book, or visit. If your business doesn’t show up, you don’t just miss clicks — you miss real opportunities. But when you stay visible, you stay competitive.
Online Search Is Where Customers Start
Did you know that 90% of online experiences in Mauritius begin with a search engine? Whether someone is looking for a nearby restaurant, a local plumber, or a guest house in Flic en Flac, they usually turn to Google first.
Even more compelling, 81% of Mauritians research online before making a purchase. And when they use a smartphone — which happens a lot — 76% visit a business within 24 hours of that search.
So, if your business isn’t showing up in local search results, you’re missing out on real customers ready to buy.
Mobile-First = Directory-First
Today, over 72% of internet traffic in Mauritius comes from mobile devices. That means people aren’t searching from behind desks — they’re doing it on the go. They’re using phones to look for “café near me” or “spa in Grand Baie.”
And when they do, local directories like MauriBiz often appear near the top of those search results.
In short, being listed means showing up when — and where — it matters most.
Top Benefits of Getting Listed on MauriBiz
Getting listed isn’t just about showing up — it’s about standing out. When you list your business on MauriBiz, you open the door to more local visibility, stronger credibility, and better opportunities to grow.
Reach More Local Customers
People in Mauritius are actively searching for businesses like yours. Whether they’re looking for a dentist in Curepipe or a diving instructor in Blue Bay, they want fast, relevant results.
By listing on MauriBiz, your business appears where customers are already looking. This means more views, more calls, and more walk-ins — without spending extra on ads.
Boost Your SEO and Google Visibility
Every listing on MauriBiz includes important details like your business name, address, and phone number. This is called NAP consistency, and it’s something Google loves.
When your information is consistent across trusted directories, Google sees your business as more credible — and ranks it higher in search results.
Plus, backlinks from MauriBiz can improve your overall SEO and drive more traffic to your website, if you have one.

Build Trust with Online Reviews
Today, 88% of Mauritians trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. That means people believe what others say — especially when those reviews appear on trusted platforms.
By getting listed, you give happy customers a place to leave feedback. More reviews lead to more trust — and that often leads to more business.
No Website? No Problem.
Think you need a website to be found online? Think again. Many business owners believe that having a Facebook page is enough — but it’s not. Social media helps, but it won’t make you show up in Google when people search. A directory listing fills that gap and gets you seen where it matters most.
60% of Small Businesses in Mauritius Don’t Have a Website
Most small businesses in Mauritius still don’t have their own website. Instead, many rely only on Facebook. While that’s better than nothing, it’s not enough to stand out in search results.
Customers often search Google first — not social media. If your business isn’t listed, it likely won’t show up. That means fewer clicks, fewer calls, and fewer chances to grow.
