Directory Listings - Which ones?

September 20th, 2007 Kath Posted in Retail, Professional Services, Food Wine Growers, Tourism, Sector Websites, Increasing Traffic No Comments »

How to judge which directory to pay for a listing?

Typical Problem in All Types of Business - Tourism too.
From my experience with business owners, it’s common to be bombarded by directory companies sending emails offering deal discounts for urgent response and confusing statistics on how much traffic they get in your category. 

All of that can be intimidating if not a bit misleading.
Simple answer - do a Google search for the ‘keyword search phrase’ your customers use to find your service or product.  There is the answer to your question! 

What directory is listed in the top 8 Google rank for your keyword search phrase?  Can you afford NOT to be in that directory?  If more than one you have to choose. Only if your own URL is there in the top 8, would you skip having a presence in that directory.

Tell me about your experience - any tricky email marketing that tempted you?  Any first hand stories we can learn from?  Post your comments below.
