ABD Alabama Business Directory helps Alabama shoppers discover trusted businesses before they call, visit, schedule services, or make a purchase. Our platform connects consumers with approved businesses while helping Alabama companies gain greater visibility online. Through business previews, category listings, and informative content, ABD makes it easier for shoppers to research businesses and make informed decisions.
Our Story
ABD began in January 2020 as ACTT Automotive Group with a focus on helping automotive businesses connect with consumers online. As the platform grew, so did the need for a broader resource that could serve businesses across multiple industries. Therefore, in August 2025, ACTT Automotive Group evolved into ABD Alabama Business Directory.
Today, ABD serves businesses throughout Alabama in a variety of sectors, including automotive, healthcare, retail, small-local businesses, travel and adventure, dining, and online shopping. While our name has changed, our mission remains the same: helping Alabama businesses get found while helping shoppers make confident decisions.
Why ABD Exists
ABD was created because today’s consumers often research a business before making contact. Whether they are looking for a vehicle, healthcare provider, contractor, retailer, restaurant, or vacation destination, shoppers want reliable information before spending money.
Additionally, shopper feedback has reinforced the importance of researching businesses first. Based on feedback collected over two years, 89% of respondents reported a better overall experience when they previewed a business before making a decision. As a result, ABD encourages Alabama consumers to learn more about businesses before they visit, schedule services, or make a purchase.
