Top 10 Online Directories Where Businesses Should Be Listed
Below are 10 free business directories on which your business listing and art website should be listed.
1. Google My Business
Listing your business on Google My Business should be on your priority list; it takes a few minutes to create an account and a few weeks to get a confirmation code. Such an account connects you directly with consumers, whether they’re looking for you on Search, Maps or Google+. It also connects all your Google properties to your organic listing and amalgamates all your reviews in one place. Google outperforms every other search engine by a long shot. In fact, Google receives nearly 10 billion searches per day.
2. Bing Local
Bing is the second most visited search engine on the Internet; right behind Google. If people aren’t searching on Google, chances are, they’re typing away at Bing and trying to find answers there. One cool feature is Bing Deals. Small business owners can create several different types of deals right in the Bing Business Portal — from free offers to a percentage off or a dollar amount discount. They can be offered at anytime and for how long you like as well.
3. Yelp
Yelp has a large user-community which acts independently from search engines like Google and Bing. It is necessary to be on Yelp in order to gain attention from this completely different and targeted audience. A Yelp business account directs textual and visual representation of your business to the categories of Yelp users that are most likely interested in doing business with you. You can also add a link to your website on your Yelp profile and there is no limit to the number of business photos that you can add. Yelp allows for customer reviews and gives you the option to respond to them.
4. The Yellow Pages
Yellow Pages (YP) is the online version of the phone book we used to get delivered to our door every year. Besides listing your business in an organized directory, YP also offers advertising, lead-generation services and online payment options. Canada411.com is one of their domains.
5. Facebook Places Directory
Facebook launched a new Places Directory in late 2014. The new directory invites a Place lookup by city name or other place name. The search box doesn’t respond to all queries and even common local queries. The search results are ranked by user ratings and comments from friends and others in the user’s Facebook network.
