Why Use A Business Directory?

Apr 17, 2012 | Rita

Web directory review

If you have a business and have never used a directory maybe you should look into them. Why use a business web directory? The answer is simple, many people search directories when looking for businesses to use. I know that I do and I bet you have search a directory at some point as well. JasmineDirectory.com is one such directory.

 

There are a lot of things to look at when looking for a directory to list your business in, such as has many links can you have, and do I get a thumbnail (which is a small picture.) The best thing about Jasmine Directory is that you do get a thumbnail as well as five urls. They are also 100% SEO friendly and W3 css and HTML valid, both which is equally important.  Another great thing about Jasmine Directory is that they have experienced editors who ensure that  each category in the directory is developed, organized, reviewed, and carefully maintained.

 

Web directory review

As you can see from the picture above that each listing is easy to read and precise allowing you to get all your information out to potential customers. When a potential customer or client clicks your listing they are taken to your listing page which has more information such as an article about your business. I have never really seen this sort of  added bonus before and trust me I have seen tons of directories.

 

All in all a directory listing can do plenty for any business but is even more important for an online business. For an online business word of mouth and directories listing may be the best and least expensive forms of advertisements. Word of mouth can go in either direction and you run the risk of having customers tell their friends about competitors. A directory listing allows you to look professional and be taken seriously in your venture.

    It is alright for bigger businesses or those who do social marketing or things on the web,,, but for small mom and pop stores it is kind of overkill especially with advertising dollars stretched to the max. Good idea for some tho!

    it’s definitely important to list in business directories (also important to make sure you choose the right ones to list in!)

    Such a great idea. It is helpful to find and have resources in one spot. Getting a good reputable list is the challenge.
