Business Directories

Business directories today are replacing the old phone books of yesterday. There are many business directories on the Internet but none of them come close in comparison to Google Places. Google gets over 72% of all Internet searches and has placed a huge focus on its business directory. At Elite Web Services we place tremendous attention on Google Places listings as they provide our customers the most bang for their buck.

Why is Google exerting so much attention on these business directories?

One of the hottest areas today on the Internet is “local”. That is due to the fact so many people search the Internet prior to purchasing products or services. Many estimates state that over 60% of all purchases are preceded by an internet search. These buyers are looking to solve a problem, maybe they need a new pair of shoes or a landscaper. It doesn’t matter what they need, if they are looking for something you can provide you want to be up front and center when they do their research. Google knows all this and wants to provide their users the most relevant search results possible.

Having your business listed in Google Places is a great way to attract local customers into your business.

One of the excellent services we provide is creating and optimizing a Google Places listing for your business. If every time a potential customer in your local area searches for your profession, wouldn’t it be great to have your business name right in front of them? This is a great avenue to help build your business.
