If you are a business owner, you should know and understand the importance of having your business listed in the top major search engines on the internet. With the competition being so fierce, those business owners who understand and take action will always win. Therefore, I have compiled a list of all the major platforms for you to list your business and start growing your fan base.

I come up with this list and started using it on some local businesses that I have worked with in the past. Since most of them provide free submission, I thought others would be interest in making use of them to bring more visibility to their business. Getting your business listed on as many online local directories as possible is the best and quickest way to make sure potential new customers find you when searching for products and services related to your business.

Before I start by sharing this list with you. I want you to know that this will not be an easy or quick task. It will require some effort and time on your part to go to each of those website and submit your business information.

Basic checklist to follow when submitting your business those platform

• NAP – Some of those platforms will on require the basic NAP for your business which is your business’s Name, Address & Phone number. Therefore, make sure that information is the same on all them.
• Business Description – If you are allowed to submit a business description, take the time to make sure you write something meaningful about the services your business provide. DO NOT LEAVE IT BLANK. This is where you highlight your company’s history and services offered. BE CREATIVE!
• Website Link – This one of the most important piece of information you MUST provide if your company has a website. This is a great way to drive more traffic to your website and help people who want to learn about your business discover what you have to offer.
• Pictures And Videos – Majority of listing platforms allow businesses to post pictures and short videos about their services. Take on the opportunity and showcase your business best. Let the world know why they should care about your services or products.
