Please Note:
When updating your website on these sites add the http://www.etc in order to create the hyper link.
You may get people then calling you asking to see if you would like to build a website just say “no thanks”.
Most of them are not that relevant so don’t spend to much time on them, but make sure the orange ones that I have numbered you do spend time on as they are WORTH EVERY CENT.
IMPORTANT
Always set up a separate email address for these sites. (Such as admin@, or clients@) DO NOT use your main email address which is on your business card. That way if your email is hacked on one of these sites then it will not cause major damage to your business. I also would suggest to keep an exercise book or a word/excel document with the site, the user name, the password and the URL of each account. This is in case you get sick or pass away it means others can access your files.
1. Business.google.com – no www
2. www.dlook.com.au
3. www.google.com/local/add
4. www.gumtree.com.au
5. www.hotfrog.com.au
6. www.local.com.au
7. www.sensis.com.au
8. www.truelocal.com.au
9. www.tucows.com
10. www.whitepages.com.au
11. www.womo.com.au
12. www.yellowpages.com.au
13. www.yelp.com.au
14. www.rockingham.wa.gov.au
– or your own local council always has a portal for your business
These are ok but not as relevant.

I keep the same information in a word document as the directory submissions involve entering the same information repeatedly so avoid wasting a lot of time. Gather the following information into one document:
• 2-3 Business listing titles
• Submission email address
• Business contact email address
• Business phone number
• Social media links
• 2-3 unique business descriptions (Typically 200 words max)
• Square logo image (300px is best viewed on most websites)
• 5 business related images
• Business ABN
Cut and Pasting this will make the process much faster.
Directory Submission Tips
Here are a few suggestions.
• Search each directory for the business name and url to ensure no duplicate listings are created if they have claim them.
• Use consistent login details for easy followup, same email and same password for each one.
• Make listings as complete as possible to maximize value.
• Vary titles and descriptions to create a unique listing.
• Expect a few phone calls from directories upselling premium listings just say no thanks.
• Check for confirmation emails immediately and after 5 days.
Lastly don’t forget to ask your clients to give a review of your business as this always helps with the listing of your links!
