Why Business Directory Submissions Are Important For Your Business

A Not-To-Be-Beat Offer To Showcase Your Website On These Directories

As part of Lunarpages’ SEM-SEO marketing programs, we submit your business information to about 140 directories. You may be wondering why this is important, so we’ll tell you!

The foundation of a strong online business identity includes making sure your company’s name, address, phone number, URL and description can be found on Search Engines, online Yellow Pages, Social Networks, 411 Directory Assistance and Mobile/GPS navigation devices.

Historically these directory listings have provided a great source of new leads or sales for your business, and also they provide links back to your website, which has some value from an SEO perspective. And because there is so much syndication of online information, it is not unusual for your business listing to be propagated out to hundreds of other websites within a short period of time. This is particularly true if your destination pages are content-rich (which, by the way, is a specialty of our digital agency partner, www.LocalDirective.com).

What you may not know is that these listings are becoming even more important now that Search Engines and Mobile carriers deliver localized information based on knowledge of where you are when you conduct a Web search. One quarter of mobile phone users browse the web with their devices. And of course, that number jumps more dramatically for smart phone users. Showcasing your business on mobile devices is an increasingly profitable proposition.

In case you haven’t seen it, we offer business directory listings in our Introductory and Basic SEM-SEO Packages. Both 30-day programs offer excellent opportunities to sample many forms of online marketing and advertising, including additional placements on Google, Facebook & MySpace.

And if you’d like only the directory listings, our partner LocalDirective is offering a $99 special program until Thanksgiving. With this program, your business directory listings information will be edited by a direct response marketing expert so that your value proposition is clear and your messaging is powerful. Up to five images, including your logo, can be included with your listing. Your business profile will be submitted to over 140 directories, and in six months, you will be sent an audit report that shows all of the directories at which your website is listed.

Included in the 140+ submission sites are:

• Search Engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing
• Online Yellow Pages (Superpages, Yellowpages, YellowBook)
• Social Networks such as MySpace
• Portals and Guides such as AOL MapQuest, CitySearch
• Cell Phones and Mobile (BlackBerry and iPhone)
• 411 Directory Assistance
• In-Car GPS Navigation and Telematics such as OnStar
