Is Hive Index worth it?

Our reading of the measured data, not a score.

For its audience

Worth a post if its members are your customers.

Hive Index didn't make Google's top 10 in any of the 4 buyer searches we ran for the 1 business type it accepts. That's typical: directories of any kind held only 12% of the top-10 spots in those searches, so what Hive Index offers is the people who browse it directly. A basic listing is free; paid options are sold on top.
