No business or brand\u00a0can afford to not be listed on the first page of search results. That is the simple fact. Submitting to\u00a0directory websites<\/a> is one of the best ways to increase local visibility; however, businesses must be listed not just on every directory site, but on the best sites.\u00a0Our directory submission service does just that and more.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Top 50 Directory\u00a0Package In A Nutshell<\/h2>\n

\"top<\/p>\n

To explain more about what directory submissions do for businesses and brands, we have created an easy to understand infographic, Top 50 Directory Package In A Nutshell<\/a>. In this post, we break down the infographic and\u00a0explain exactly how using our submission services\u00a0increases local visibility, generates more search traffic, and fills the sales pipeline.<\/p>\n

The Directories We Submit To<\/h3>\n

With the number of directories on the Internet constantly growing, businesses need to be sure that their information is submitted to those that have the most authority. At Advice Local, we only submit business listings to directories that meet our strict qualifications, which are determined by 23 different metrics, including domain authority and page rank.<\/p>\n

\"where-we-submit2\"<\/p>\n

Domain Authority is based on a website\u2019s score using Moz\u2019s 100 point scale. Advice Local uses directories that have a domain authority, on average, of 62.<\/p>\n

Page Rank is based on a 10 point scale which determines the importance of a website. We use sites that rank, on average, a 7 out of 10 on Google\u2019s scale.<\/p>\n

A sampling of the directory sites we are currently submitting to include Superpages, Yellow Pages, and Angie\u2019s List.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that this list is monitored continually and if one of the 23 metrics that we use as qualifiers changes, then we review the directory site.<\/p>\n

Organic Search Results Traffic and Top Ranking Keywords<\/h3>\n

As shown below, at the time this data was collected Advice Local had over 3 million visitors to their citation sources through organic search. Imagine what that means for a local business\u2019s online visibility.<\/p>\n
