A high number of consumers search for local services using online directories. In today’s digital age, they have become the new Yellow Pages. The main difference is that unlike the Yellow Pages, there are several high-traffic directories where local prospects search for all types of services. These include:
- Google Plus Local
- Yelp
- FourSquare
- SuperPages
- Bing Local
- Yahoo! Local
- CitySearch
- Many others…
All told, there are upwards of 100 or more local directories that are known by a fair number of consumers and used to find local service providers.
But there’s a problem…as of mid-2013, over half of all local businesses have failed to claim their FREE listings on these highly searched directory sites. For example, a typical business may have claimed only 2 or 3 of their free listings from among the top 20 directories, leaving many unclaimed business building opportunities.
Many businesses are simply not aware of all the directories that are out there. Others just don’t have the time to deal with going through the claiming process for each one. Perhaps you can relate to one of these two circumstances.
However, if you are a business that caters to local consumers and have not claimed your FREE listings, you are leaving money on the table.
Here’s why…when a prospective customer comes across an unclaimed listing, all they see is a name, address, and phone number. This would be fine if you were in the White Pages of the phone book. But this is the Internet – you need a much more engaging presence than just the basic info, otherwise your prospects will move on to one of your competitors.
This is where we can help!
At Quality Copywriting, we understand that you may be too busy to go through the process of claiming your listings. This is why we’ve created a service to take care of the entire process for you. We will take the crucial information from your website and manually submit this information to each unclaimed listing. In addition, we will upload your logo and any other photos/images you want in accordance with what each directory allows. Once completed (usually within about 10 business days), we will provide a full submission report.
At the end of the process, you will have several quality listings that effectively market your services to locally qualified prospects on an ongoing basis.
In addition, your claimed listings will give you more credibility with Google and other major search engines, giving your website higher visibility within the local search results, and attracting more quality traffic to your site.
Directory Listing Services and Pricing
- Claiming all listings within the top 20 local directories: $695
- Claiming all listings within our entire list of 85+ local directories (continually updated): $895
- Claiming targeted individual listings: $250 per listing
We highly recommend claiming all the listings from at least the top 20 major directories. So if you need to claim just 1 or 2 listings to maximize your exposure within these top directories, you can do so for a one-time investment of $250 per listing. If you have several unclaimed listings (3 or more), then you can have all of the majors done for a one-time investment of just $695, or our entire list of 85+ directories for a one-time investment of just $895.
So let me ask you a question…how much is it worth for you to add just a couple clients or customers a month to your business?
If you consider that for a small upfront investment, you can have all your listings personalized and ready to bring in local consumers that need your services — month after month — this may be the best business decision you make all year.
