Local Directories | Online Citations
|
Your online listings play a very important role in the visibility of your business online. Some listings are pre-populated for you, but you must claim each one, make sure all of your information is accurate, and then optimize the listing. Your information has to match perfectly across all of the directory sites for maximum results. The process for updating each one is similar, but not exactly the same. Then, when new directories are created you get to go through the claim/optimize process yet again.
Don't you already have enough to do? We know you do. That's why we will take care of the vital but tedious task of directory management for you. You can have us set them up and turn them over to you for ongoing maintenance, or we will handle everything for you, including reporting, for one low monthly fee . The choice is yours. |

Do you REALLY want to figure this out on your own? Of course not. Hand it over to professionals instead.
You may be asking, "What ARE directory listings?"
One example is your Google My Business page. Google sets up one for every legitimate business, but it's like the shell of house. You need to furnish it and decorate it. You do this by populating the site with all of your pertinent business information - hours, contact information, service or product specifications, service area, etc. Then you add photos to spice it up and let people get a feel for you.
Another example is your Yelp listing. Millions of people rely on Yelp to get information about your business, find your location, call you and, most important, see what others are saying about you. Most Yelp listings are under-optimized, resulting in less views in search.
In addition to Google My Business and Yelp citations, there are hundreds of other sites. Some carry more weight than others, and should be addressed first. You've heard of Yellowpages.com, Angie's List, Kudzu, Merchant Circle, Superpages.com and similar big hitters. Then there are industry or city-specific directories that must be considered. All of these sites send 'signals' to Google vouching for you. When they are left unpopulated or they contain inaccurate information your business' online visibility will suffer.
