      Hello everyone,

      I am currently listing my company on business directories. For some websites however when I add my website URL, it comes up as URL is invalid. What could be the reason for this? I have tried different variations like www., http:// and https://.

      Kind Regards,
      Aqib

        Have you tested with some brand url's like moz for example? Perhaps it's that website's technical problem and not something relating to your own url.

        Cheers

          Hi Aqib,

          You are using homepage url or any internal page url? I have seen in past when I try to enter any url other then the home page got same messages in many directories.

          Thanks
