Local Directory Service - Increasing Local Business

If you have a retail store, provide local services, or just need to reach more customers in a specific area, the fastest and easiest way to do increase your local business is to sign up for our local directory service. The service will not only increase your visibility in your local market, but it will improve your overall search engine rankings.

 

How our Local Directory Service Works

You fill out one profile with us, and we do the rest, getting you listed in the top 12 global directories that provide local listings, such as Yahoo! Local and Verizon Super Pages. We eliminate the time and expense of having to create, pay for, and maintain all your directory listings. As an added bonus, we also list your company in up to six unique local directories (as long as they meet our strict criteria of being reputable and providing good traffic).

Your directory listing will include the following information:

  • Company Name and Logo
  • Address
  • Phone
  • Optional: Fax, E-Mail, and Contact Person
  • Direct link to your Website Address
  • An Interactive Map
  • Search Engine Optimizaed description of your business and services
  • Hours of operation
  • Optional: The ability to list products and services

 

Online Search versus Print Yellow Pages

Local Internet search has overcome the Yellow Pages and other print directories as the most popular and effective way to find local businesses and services. Consumers are using the Internet to find everything, including phone numbers, directions, and hours of operation. A small investment in listing your company in multiple local directories can pay big dividends.

 

Does Local Search Work?

A study by comScore in 2006 showed 63%t of U.S. Internet users (almost 110 million people) performed a local search online in the month of July - a 43% increase versus July of 2005. 

During the second quarter of 2006, 47% of local searchers visited a local merchant as a result of their search behavior, while 41% made contact offline (e.g. phone call).  37% made contact online as a result of conducting a local area search.
