Business Directories You Should Join New Zealand
Are you wondering about Business Directories?
In the pre-internet days, not being in the Yellow pages was business insanity.
You simply had to be there.. it was the ultimate business directory of all business directories!
Until….
These guys came along… and now we Google everything.
However, there are still plenty of other directories around.
So the question is…
Are business directories still useful?
Sure are! We often come across business owners who are winning customers from all reaches of the internet.
While Google is by far the dominant option for search results, and certainly worth investing time and money into, the other options we have listed are surprisingly effective at helping your cause.
You might find that people use them directly, OR the listing on that directory can also help you Google listing.
Another element is the social proof and recommendations. Neighbourly, listed below, is very strong with people recommending services and businesses to each other, so a listing there is a good idea.
