What are Local Business Listings?

Local Business Listings can be found in traditional paper-based business directories as well as many online local search services and search engines. At a minimum, Local Business Listings provide the reader with a business’ name, address and phone number. Often, however, these listings are enhanced to include website links and several key-word rich descriptions and other useful information.

Is Local Business Listing Marketing the same thing as SEO?

In short, not really. To be clear, Local Business Listing Marketing is not SEO for your business website. SEO (or search engine optimization) will help consumers find your website on major search engines. Local Business Listing Marketing will help consumers find your local business listing on both search engines and on local search platforms.

What if my business does not have a website?

Then your Local Business Listing is going to be your most important marketing tool! With nearly 97% of consumers using the web or mobile platforms to find the local businesses they need, your Local Business Listing is often responsible for making that important first impression. Don’t lose your next customer because your listing is missing, inaccurate or incomplete.

Do I need a local phone number for my Local Business Listing?

Local Business Listings without a unique local phone number are very problematic and can prevent your listing from becoming fully verified on several local search websites.
