Local Link Building
Improve Your Local Search Engine Rankings
Submitting your site to the local search engines of Google, Yahoo, and MSN is no longer enough to rank high in local searches. In fact, now it’s just the first step.
Directory One has identified and will submit your site to 25 web properties where it simply must be listed in order to rank high in the local search results of the big three.
Similar to the way the major search engines count each related back-link as a vote for your website, the local search engines consider each listing in online yellow pages, local search sites, local business data providers, and local online business social networks a local vote for your website and in some cases, even rely solely on these local resources to provide listings.
