GetListed.org Local Search Marketing Tips To Get Listed
Here’s the method I use for all my clients and my own business as well. It’s a quick and easy way to see if your business has been claimed or not for a few of the major directories. It even provides you with a score relative to your business on the Internet in terms of being officially listed or “claimed†in those directories.
Simply go to this website: http://www.getlisted.org where you will find a screen similar to this:
[/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]
As you can see, this site is pretty self-explanatory. All you need to do to see if your business has been claimed is to type in your business name and the zip code to where your business is physically located.
In this example I randomly typed in “Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery†with a zip code of “90210.†As you can see, a business was found under this name.
Also, as you can see, this cosmetic surgery business has not claimed some of their listings. This particular Plastic Surgery Business is leaving a great deal of money on the table by not having all their business listings claimed.
Also, you will see that getlisted.org gives you a “listing score.†In this case, getlisted.org assigned “Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery†a score of “57%†.
Keep in mind that the higher the score, the better for your business as it is more likely to show up when people in your area are searching for your products and services.
