June 2026 on Critics.reviews: The Industries Joining Our Global Directory

Every month, a fresh batch of businesses lists on Critics.reviews for the first time — electricians in Perth, ayurveda clinics in Jharkhand, dental practices in Virginia, a restoration company in Singapore. Taken one at a time, each is just another new profile. Taken together, they tell a much more interesting story about where the platform is growing and who's finding value in it.

A Wide Spread of New Businesses

This stretch of June brought in new listings spanning at least six countries and dozens of distinct industry categories, from plumbing and pest control to visa services and invoicing software. A small number of submissions were reviewed and not approved, which is expected: not every submission meets the platform's information and verification standards, and that's by design.

Trades and Home Services Lead the Way

The single biggest cluster by far was trades and home services — roughly a third of all new listings. Plumbers, electricians, painters, concreters, renderers, tilers, masons, roofers, and general contractors made up the bulk of it, with a heavy concentration of Australian businesses across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia. It's a pattern that makes sense: trades businesses depend heavily on local search and word-of-mouth, and a verified listing with real reviews does a lot of heavy lifting for a plumber or electrician competing in a crowded local market.

Healthcare and Wellness Providers Are Growing

Healthcare and wellness made up the next largest share, at roughly 15% of new listings. This group was the most internationally diverse of the month: dental practices in Virginia, Western Australia, and Texas, physiotherapy clinics in New South Wales and Ontario, two ayurveda and homeopathy clinics expanding across different Indian states, a general clinic in Illinois, and a plastic surgery clinic in Delhi. Healthcare providers tend to lean heavily on trust signals like verified reviews before a patient will book, which likely explains why this category shows up so consistently month over month.

Professional and Financial Services

Lawyers, digital marketing agencies, accountants, loan consultants, and a finance and invoicing software company rounded out a solid professional-services cluster, at roughly 11% of new listings. Unlike the trades cluster, this group skewed toward businesses that serve clients well outside their own city, another reminder of why a global, not just local, directory matters even for service businesses that never meet a customer in person.

A Truly Global Spread

This is the part of the data we find most encouraging. New listings this stretch came from at least six countries: Australia led by a wide margin, driven by the trades cluster above, followed by the United States, Canada, and India each contributing a meaningful share, with New Zealand and Singapore rounding things out. Businesses on three continents joined the platform inside a three-week window — which is exactly the kind of reach a “global business directory” is supposed to deliver, not just a claim on a homepage.

This Month's Spotlight

A few listings stood out enough to call out by name:

• iRehab Exercise Physiology (North Rocks, New South Wales, Australia) — a physiotherapy practice bringing allied health expertise to a growing Sydney suburb.

• Jeena Sikho HiiMS (Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh & Bokaro, Jharkhand, India) — an ayurveda and homeopathy clinic network expanding its presence across Indian states, one city at a time.

• The MouldMen (Singapore) — a water damage restoration company, and one of the few Southeast Asian listings this month.

• Amity Lawyers (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) — proof that professional services benefit from a directory presence just as much as local trades do.

• NZ Kiwi Movers and NZ Cash for Cars (Auckland, New Zealand) — two very different businesses, listed the same week, both betting on the same channel to reach customers.

Congratulations to all of them, and to everyone else who joined this month — welcome to Critics.reviews.

What This Growth Means for You

If your business is already listed, this is good company to be in — the same directory that's now home to physiotherapists in Sydney and law firms in Delhi is actively adding new categories and geographies every week, which means more search coverage and more comparison traffic across the board. If you haven't listed yet, the trades and healthcare clusters above are a reminder that some of the most competitive, review-driven industries are already treating a directory listing as standard practice, not an afterthought. Waiting doesn't make that catching-up any easier.

Conclusion

One month's data is a snapshot, not a trend line, but this snapshot is a good one: a wide industry spread, a genuinely global footprint, and a trades and healthcare base that clearly values what a verified, review-driven listing does for their business. We'll be back next month with the July numbers — if your business joins between now and then, there's a decent chance you'll show up in it.
