Directory Home Here are some ideas that will increase the amount of attention that your directory listing receives. These steps will not only improve the success of your listing within CleanupDirectory.com, but will also aid in the placement of your listing on major search engines.
- Whether you know it or not, many of your current clients have come from CleanupDirectory.com. If you track your sales calls, you know that a client will typically say, “I found you online” or “I found your website”. What they don’t tell you is that they first found you through a directory, such as Yellowpages.com or CleanupDirectory.com, before clicking through to your website. Having a well-written and visually appealing listing will help in converting viewers to “click-throughs”. Review your website for content and ease of navigation. Once a customer clicks through to your website from our directory, you want to have everything in place to turn the potential client into a paying client.
- Regardless of page rank, being linked to a website that is relevant to your industry is beneficial. Take time to create keyword links in your listing to various pages on your website. Throughout your listing page, a search engine should find keywords and keyword phrases that you would want people to use to find your company. For example, if you are located in New York City you may want to include in your listing page: NYC crime scene cleanup, New York City hoarding cleanup, New York City suicide cleanup, NYC unattended death, etc. If you’re not sure how to do this, ask us and we’ll do it for you.
- Update your listing content on a regular basis. Search engines love fresh content.
- Your listing should contain a minimum of 250 words. A well written listing with 250 words, that is occasionally updated, will be ranked by most search engines. This gives you another source of advertising within individual search engines.
- Include relevant information about your company. You cannot upload too much information at CleanupDirectory.com. Each listing should contain a company flyer, coupons, brochures, pictures, etc. Draw attention to your business and away from your competitors.
- Upload a company logo! Potential clients are more inclined to click through to a listing with a logo. If you don’t have a logo, let us know and we’ll design one for you. If you have one, but don’t know how to upload it, send it to us via email and we’ll upload it for you.
If you follow these tips, you’ll see more traffic to your listing, which will result in more business.
