What is a local business directory?
If you have ever used Yelp, TripAdvisor, Houzz or Angie’s List, then you know what they are. These are very good examples of some of the top authority business listings sites, that you need to be on.
Why you need to on these directories:
They, provide with the option to setup up your profile, contact details, service description and a link to your website. Some of the other business directories are mostly good for the link to your website, but the really good and high-value business directories will be a small lead channel for you.
People have their personal preferences for where they look for services and products like yours. Some will prefer picking the company’s websites, others like the business directories. So you customers are in both places, most probably.
Just like you, these business listing services spend time and resources becoming the first listed search result. They provide the visitors with options for filtering among hundreds of options, so you find just what you want, and you can get directly in contact with the company.
Others are more like the static listing of companies, which is great for a link to your website, but don’t expect leads to be dropping in from these.
If your competitors are there and not you, they will get the call.
Make sure you create your Flooring Store Profile on the most important business service directories out there, including Houzz, Angie’s List, HomeAdvisor and many more.
