10 Free Online Business Directories

phonebook

Are you looking to generate more traffic to your website? Not getting the quality hits you expect? No money to spend on adwords? Then your best bet is to get your business’s website listed on a number of the good quality free business directories out there. I have my own website (if you’re looking for a web designer in Cheshire) listed on these and can guarantee that you’ll get a few hits from these as clearly shown in my google analytics reports.

With every new site I launch I tell my clients of the benefits of getting signing up to and getting listed on these directories. As well as generating a few valuable inbound links to keep Google happy you’ll potentially generate quite a new bit of new traffic and ultimately business. And best of all it’s free and will only take a few minutes of your time setting up your various profiles.

Here is my preferred shortlist that i’m always telling clients to get listed on -

Some of these such as Yell may contact you to sell you their commercial packages but unless you have the cash then simply tell them you’re not interested.

Got any personal tried and tested directories? Let me know.
