Vietnam citation sites by industry
Layer your industry on top of the Vietnam list to add niche directories.
Vietnam is one of the few markets where the classic yellow-pages institution still matters online. Yellow Pages Vietnam (yellowpages.vn, the Trang Vร ng brand) and Trang Vang Vietnam (trangvangvietnam.com) both run substantial business databases that Vietnamese buyers and suppliers genuinely search, especially in B2B. Layer the global anchors on top (Foursquare, OpenStreetMap, Bing Places) and you have the full citation surface that Google, Cแปc Cแปc users' default engines and AI assistants read when they assemble an answer about your business. The work is keeping one canonical NAP identical across all of it.
The Trang Vang layer: Vietnam's own directories
Two national directories carry the general Vietnamese layer. Yellow Pages Vietnam at yellowpages.vn presents itself as the yellow pages of Vietnamese enterprises and is the best-known directory brand in the country. Trang Vang Vietnam at trangvangvietnam.com runs a parallel database of businesses and suppliers. Both publish crawlable company pages with structured contact details, which makes each one a real citation: an independent, machine-readable record of your name, address and phone. For food and hospitality businesses there is a third essential: Foody.vn, Vietnam's dominant restaurant discovery platform, whose venue pages double as high-visibility citations.
Why citations matter more in a two-alphabet market
Vietnamese business names get transliterated, abbreviated and re-accented constantly: the same company can appear with and without diacritics, with "Cong ty TNHH" spelled out or dropped, with district-format addresses written three ways. Every variation is a chance for a search engine or AI assistant to treat one business as two. The fix is procedural, not clever: pick one canonical Vietnamese rendering of your name and address, one +84 phone format, and enforce them identically on every listing.
The global anchors: your data beyond Vietnam's borders
Foursquare and OpenStreetMap feed places data to apps, navigation systems and AI models worldwide; Bing Places covers the Microsoft ecosystem; Brownbook, Hotfrog and the other global generals add corroboration. For Vietnamese businesses serving tourists or international clients this layer is not optional: it is what a foreign visitor's phone and a global AI assistant actually read. All of it is free to build, and our citation building guide covers the order of work.
Building and keeping the set accurate
The Vietnamese set is compact: two national directories plus the global anchors, then any industry layer that fits your business. That makes completeness realistic, and it makes drift the main enemy: a moved office or a changed mobile number propagates slowly unless someone updates every record.

Citation sites in Vietnam: FAQ
What are the best citation sites in Vietnam?
The two national directories, Yellow Pages Vietnam (yellowpages.vn) and Trang Vang Vietnam (trangvangvietnam.com), plus the global anchors: Foursquare, OpenStreetMap, Bing Places, Hotfrog and Brownbook. Together they form the citation surface search engines and AI assistants verify a Vietnamese business against.
Should my NAP use Vietnamese diacritics?
Pick one canonical rendering of your business name and address, ideally the full Vietnamese form with diacritics as registered, and use it identically everywhere. The damage comes from mixing variants: with and without diacritics, abbreviated and full legal forms. Consistency matters more than which convention you choose.
Are Vietnamese business directories free?
The main national directories offer free listing tiers with paid upgrades, and the global anchors are free. A complete Vietnamese citation profile is primarily an effort cost, not a budget item.
Do citations help with tourists and international customers?
Yes, disproportionately. Foreign visitors and international buyers reach Vietnamese businesses through global platforms: Foursquare-fed apps, OpenStreetMap-based navigation, AI assistants. Accurate listings on the global anchors are what make a Vietnamese business findable from outside Vietnam.
