>Text and Images

A description of about 300 words describing a business is the most important. This is indexed by all the search engines. An image should be included. Maximum 1200 x 600px wide, to show correctly in the listings. A self-help guide on how to create a web page description is available. Provide enough information for your customers and for search engines to index. Do it once and do it right.

Studies show that…

Reputable studies show that up to 80 per cent of shoppers purchase products and services located within 20 miles of their homes whenever possible.

Marketing Sherpa 2012 Marketing Benchmark Report notes that only 35 per cent of business-to-business (B2B) marketers have claimed a local business listing, and a mere 23 per cent optimise directory listings for locally-relevant search terms. Business-to-Customer (B2C) marketers score 43 per cent and 36 per cent for these tactics respectively. Although local searches are proven valuable tactics, only 27 per cent of marketers report using local searches as part of their overall business search engine strategies.
