Paper directories may seem like a thing of the past, but they are still a really useful resource, however they are evolving to an online format.
In an online directory Business owners still list their products and services and customers can search for them, but there’s a twist…
They help boost your own website search rankings too!
With online directories, you don’t only get found when potential customers search for you in the directory, you also get found in Google search results too.
How does this work?
Search engines rank your website in search results. These rankings are based on a number of criteria, one being back links. These are links from other websites to your website. So, although it’s possible to get doggy backlinks from overseas link farms (yes, they’re a real thing!), it's not recommended...Google can sniff these out a mile off!
You want high quality back links from high authority websites, and guess what? Directories like the Goldfields Key are just that!
Well, your website is like your shopfront, it’s perfectly arranged to showcase the best of your business. Think of your directory listing like an advertising billboard...it sends customers to your business. They work together to send traffic to the same place – to help you make sales!
It’s hard for your website alone to stand out amongst the 1 billion active websites on the internet today. So, it makes sense to join forces with a regional directory like Goldfields Key where local people can find you.
