Improve Your Local Search Engine Rankings<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u2019s just the first step.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Local Social Networks<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the advent of Web 2.0 and social media marketing, the search engines have carried the democratic process even further, relying heavily on customer reviews on social business sites such as Yelp and Insider Pages to help determine local search engine rankings.<\/p>\n

Why This Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

All listings include company name, address, telephone number and description and keywords where applicable. Primarily what the major search engines pick up from these listings are your address and telephone number.<\/p>\n
