3 Reasons Why You Must List Your Small Business In Niche Directories With Local Categories
Being one small business in a Mega Directory that includes everything from website design firms to restaurants has minimal value, at best. Oh, there are a few that can give your website a good bit of traffic, but for the most part, "Niche" is king these days. You'll benefit if the Mega Directory allows you to have an active link back to your website (backlink). Other than that, submitting a small business website listing is basically just typing practice. Niche directories enjoy tremendous SEO (Search Engine Optimization) advantages... Niche Small Business Directories can be highly optimized for the niche and local areas, including states, regions, cities, and zip codes. This provides a powerful advantage for you when internet users in your area conduct a search for products and services offered by your small business in addition to a local attribute such as city, state, zip, or area code. Example: a search for 'mastiff breeder, London, KY' may include your business website in the search results, but is more likely to return your small business listing from a niche directory of Mastiff Breeders that has been highly optimized. You win in both cases! Backlinks are crucial to your small business website marketing strategy... Without going into the geeky, boring details - you need links back to your small business website in order to rank higher in the search engines. Backlinks are votes for your website. The more votes you have, the better your website will rank in the search results for the keywords for which you have optimized your website. By listing in niche small business directories that don't use the "no-follow" tag, you are receiving a backlink to your site that the search engines will follow as they index the directory. When a site that links to yours gets indexed by the search engines, your website will be indexed as well. Many directory sites are indexed quite regularly, which means more exposure for you!
