List Local Business Launches

Free Listings For Local Businesses In Vertical Directories

Looking for a quick, easy link for your local business? Try List Local Business, a new network of stand-alone business directories organized into local markets. Almost sixty business categories are presently included in the network, with more in the pipeline.

Bricks And Mortar Presence Is Not Essential

The only requirement for inclusion in a List Local Business directory, besides the need for your business to fit one of the categories, is that the business be local in nature. It is not mandatory that the business have a bricks and mortar office or storefront, but it is necessary that it be local in scope and service area. Your free listing can include name, contact info, link to your website, and description.

Wide Range Of Business Categories Available

The directories include a wide range of businesses, covering niches like plastic surgeons, automotive repair, furniture stores, schools, limousine services, landscaping companies, chiropractors, moving companies, dentists, and so forth. You can find the full list of nearly sixty categories at List Local Business, which is the gateway site to the network.

Search Marketing Benefits of a Listing

For a qualified business, this is a very good deal. There are several benefits to such a listing, including the local advertising it provides, and the direct link back to the business website, which assists in search engine ranking for the site. The fact that the listing appears in a vertical directory, rather than a generalized directory, means that the backlink to the business website is surrounded by similar (in scope) text and links, making it a postive neighborhood for the link to appear in. These are all important considerations for how the link ultimately appears to the search engines.
