I’m a big fan of local directories and was very excited to see RelyLocal come to Highlands Ranch, CO. Local businesses can contact Chris Strassburger at 303.808.0823 and ask him about the amazingly affordable advertising packages. I signed up for the $25/month package and included a coupon with my ad. If you are not a local business in Highlands Ranch, Colorado – go to their main site at www.relylocal.com and see if there’s a representative in your area. Get more business and get to the top of the search engines by advertising in local or industry specific directories.
You can also type into Google “Your City Directories” like “Los Angeles Directories” or “Key West Florida Directories” and see which ones may be a good fit for you. When you type in specific keyword phrases that pertain to your industry the local directories tend to be at the top. For example, periodically I will type in “Colorado Web Designers” or “Denver Web Designers” to see which directories are at the top.
Advertising in directories is a great way for people to find your business. I have been advertising in local and industry specific directories for several years with terrific results. The directories usually have some type of tracking systems in place to see how many times people are looking at your ad. They will send those reports to you. List your business for free in some directories or they may offer a 3-month trial for free. Other directories charge a monthly or annual fee. Additionally, I check my Google Analytics to see how well my online advertising dollars are working. Have fun and I’d love to hear which directories work the best for you!
