SEO, Directories and Product Placement

Search Engine Optimisation Services with agencies and directories

Many business directories online are general, but if you are running a local business, it is more valuable to have links from a local directory. Here are ten of the sites you should make sure that your website is on.

Google My Business

You need to have your business set up on Google or you will miss out on a large number of benefits. Google’s search engine rankings depend heavily on its own listing service and will use ratings and reviews, as well as local information from the page to help figure out where you are. Your latest Google My Business posts are also useful in the search results, as well as the Local Knowledge Panel.

Bing Places

Bing has also jumped on the website directory bandwagon. This means you have another place to list your business for free. You will need to verify your listing by mail, to prove that you really do work at the given address. This can boost your Google Authority, as well. Once you have verified your address, your listing will go live. Take the time to edit the information and ensure that it is all high quality and correct. If you have multiple businesses, it’s permitted to list them all on the same dashboard.

Superpages

Another good place to get your business listed is on Superpages. The site is similar to the Yellow Pages, where you can search for businesses by industry or name. Adding your listing is very simple. Click on the link and do a quick search for your business name. You can claim your company if it is already there, or you can add it as a new listing.

BBB

The Better Business Bureau is a trusted resource for many consumers. You can take full advantage of this by becoming accredited or simply add your free listing. Getting accredited is costly and requires a full review of your business. However, it also guarantees that you are trustworthy. You get a link along with the listing.

The free listing is much simpler, but it is still very useful for citations, since it will not link to your website. Head to the site and find the nearest BBB chapter to you. You can do this by simply entering your zip code. Do a quick search to see if your business already exists, in which case you can claim it. Otherwise, you will need to submit your business. Look for a link that says “Request BBB develop a business review” to do this. Fill in the forms and you’ll be ready for the review.

Links are still very important for Google ranking, but the quality of links is far more important than ever before. At one point, webmasters could simply post their URL on dozens of directories and websites to gain ranking, no matter how poor the site. That won’t fly today, which is why so many people are now struggling to get those spammy links removed.
Every link to your site is a vote for the quality of your business. Unfortunately, if a vote comes from a site that is nothing more than a collection of links to other sites and a lot of keywords, it won’t hold much clout. Pages that Google holds in high esteem, however, can be very useful when linking to your site. It is very important that your link building efforts are worth it. Take the time to build those links, but ensure that only Google-approved, high quality websites are on your list. It is possible to do all of your own local SEO, though many businesses outsource this area of marketing. Which option is best for you? That depends on your company. If you have the time and the energy, but not the money, you might want to try doing your own SEO. If it’s the opposite, you’re probably better off hiring someone else.

ny business with a physical location should be using local search engine optimization. However, local SEO, though very important, is not always simple. It requires knowledge of the many techniques and methods that will get Google to notice you, as well as an abundance of time. A Ignoring local SEO is a huge mistake, particularly if you are a local business. It’s very easy for your competitors to get ahead of you if your site isn’t optimized and theirs is. Fortunately, you can gain the advantage back with a few changes to your site and some hard work. From ensuring that your NAP is the same everywhere online and getting quality reviews to link building and increasing the number of citations that you have, there are multiple ways to boost your rankings. These methods could help you move right past the competition and into first place in the search results. The coveted place for most physical businesses is the local pack or carousel and optimization is your best bet for getting there. Don’t miss out on a huge increase in sales. It may take a while to get your site completely up to speed for local search terms, but it is well worth the effort. Whether you choose to handle your own search engine optimization or hire an expert in the field, don’t ignore local SEO. It can be an incredibly powerful force on your side and it would be a huge mistake not to take advantage of every benefit that local optimization can give your website. SEO is constantly changing and search engine optimization in the future is no exception. The best way to ensure that your site ranks well on the searchengines is to stay on top of the changes and make sure that you adapt to them. Search engine optimization is not just about keywords these days. While using latent semantic indexing techniques throughout your content can help your site get better rankings, you also need to consider other SEO techniques. High quality, optimized content that uses semantic marking will tend to rank higher, but you should also be building quality links and using social media. With so many changes being made and ongoing adjustments to Google’s algorithms, it’s not surprising that many business owners feel overwhelmed. Semantic search requires a fairly steep learning curve. It is certainly possible to learn how to optimize your own site, but more and more people are turning to SEO companies to create the best website possible and to increase rankings. This frees business owners up to work on other aspects of their business. Sites that are flexible enough to adjust to the upcoming changes and tweaks in algorithms will do best in the search engine rankings. Adopt a broad optimization strategy which includes on page optimization, great content, link building and social media for the best results. SEO is not dead, as some have proclaimed. In fact, that is as far from the truth as you can get. This year, search engine optimization is more necessary than ever, particularly for sites that have not updated their SEO recently. Stay abreast of any upcoming changes in the search engine algorithms and optimize any and all content on your site to stay ahead in the rankings. Top quality content, both on your site and on social media sites will also give your pages a boost. Use an overall approach this year, to catch Google’s attention and improve your rankings.
