Directory submission is an effective method of gaining improved search engine rankings for your web site, and can also help your small business improve overall web visibility and traffic. Our search engine optimization services program includes Directory Submission Services, part of our comprehensive approach to search engine professional optimization for our small business clients.

Directory Submission Services

Recent studies have shown that people are turning to the Internet first when looking for information about businesses, rather than looking up information in printed phone directories. The convenience of having directory information instantly available on computers, cell phones, PDA devices, etc., is a growing trend that your business cannot afford to ignore.

Five Sparrows offers a service called Directory Submission to help clients take advantage of this growing trend. Directory Submission combines our expertise in online technologies and knowledge of top-performing directories with the convenience of having all the work done for you. Being listed in online directories will give your business added visibility, help you build inbound links to your web stie, and help you get improved search engine rankings as well. This new service includes submitting your company to the best online directories while balancing those submissions among local, national, and world-wide outlets.

Local Directories

What are local online directories, and why do you need to be listed in them? Well, think of an online directory as a paper phone book that can provide instant, searchable, and accurate results for today's time-crunched, tech-savvy internet users.

Customers (and potential customers) are using online directories to find information that they used to look for in the phone book. If you aren't listed in the online directories, how are customers going to find you? Recent studies have found that more than 74% of consumers use the internet as an information source when shopping locally for products and services, so make sure your business can be found!

A Combined Strategy

We don't limit your submissions to only one type of directory, because the best results come when you're listed in multiple types of directories. Five Sparrows takes a comprehensive approach to submitting your business to online directories, including directories that are locally focused, geographically focused, industry focused, general information directories, etc.

Don't Get Left Behind

Online directories are being used by your customers and potential customers each day. By getting your business listed now, your company will be part of this growing trend, and will not have to “catch up” later on when it may cost a lot more time and a lot more money.

Online Submissions

Submitting to the top-performing directories is actually quite time-consuming. For instance, almost all of them require you to set up a business account before you can enter any information about your company.

Our Directory Submission service includes:

  • Account creation for your business on each online directory requiring account-based access
  • Submission of basic business information such as name, address, phone, etc.
  • Submission of time-consuming written information such as company description, business category, web site summary, etc.
  • Renewal of submissions for those directories requiring annual information verification
  • Work is done on your behalf for eight world-wide directories and six local directories (including Google Local, MSN Local, and the major Michigan directories). These top directories also make their data accessible to smaller online directories, meaning listings often appear in hundreds of smaller online directories as well.
