Why do I need to list my business in multiple directories?

By August 15, 2024No Comments

Getting your business noticed online can feel like a challenge, especially with so much competition. But here’s some good news: listing your business on an extended network of directories can dramatically boost your visibility and convert those views into real customers.

Get Seen Where It Matters Most

Uberall’s report reveals that businesses listing their information across an extended network saw fantastic results:

  • 89% more visibility in direct searches: This means when someone searches specifically for your business, they’re much more likely to find you.
  • 77% more visibility in indirect searches: Even when people aren’t searching for your business by name, they’re more likely to come across it.
  • 65% more visibility in search views: The more times your business appears in search results, the better your chances of being chosen.
  • 91% more visibility in map views: Local searches are gold, and being more visible on maps can lead to more visits.

More Views, More Action

It’s not just about being seen; it’s about converting those views into actions. Getting listed on an extended network doesn’t just increase your chances of being noticed—it also boosts your chances of being chosen.

But I Already Have a Google Business Profile—Isn’t That Enough?

Having a Google Business Profile (GBP) listing is a great start, but it’s not the whole story. While GBP is crucial for appearing in local searches and on Google Maps, it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Google cross-references your business information with other directories to make sure everything matches up. If your details are only on GBP, you are missing out on the full potential of your online presence.

By listing your business across an extended network of directories, you help Google trust your business more and ensure that customers can find you wherever they’re looking. Whether they use Apple Maps, Bing, or Facebook, your business will be easy to find and ready to engage.
