Get Your Business Listed With Internet Directory Listings
Your business profile is an easy and effective way to provide the kind of information that draws potential customers to your business when they are searching online. Net3Marketing will create or claim and maintain your internet directory listings at the major directories and search engines. What this does, is, enable you to be found not just on the internet but also on mobile devices and navigation systems. We keep all your business data up to date and accurate so customers can always find you.
If you don’t have a website, we will create a 4 page website portal for your business. This website is search engine optimized and it comes with a custom geo-targeted domain name.
Our customers are able to select the type of business profile that best describes their company. For many companies, this supplements the information on their website or becomes the primary place that companies use to promote their products and services. In addition to displaying company information, our customers can also use their profile page to obtain leads, post their company logo, and show their business location on a map. We also give your potential customers the option to “click to call/e-mail” for easy contact with you.
Below is a list of directories that we submit your profile to:
About 65% of all Internet users go to Google to find a local product/service. Submitting a verified listing directly to Google Places (Google’s business directory) is the fastest way to show up on Google Maps. We make sure your listing is complete, unique and verified… all essential elements to achieving high rankings on Google Maps. Google is also the best avenue to achieving great mobile search results!
About 10% of all Internet users go to Yahoo! to find a local product/service. This means being found in Yahoo! Local should be an important part of your online marketing plan. Yahoo! Local is considered a quintessential online destination for local businesses trying to create an effective online presence. We make sure you are found in this important directory which will enhance your online presence.
Facebook is not just a place to be social anymore. It’s quickly becoming an important local business directory. Now businesses can create a “Fan” page that users can “Like” in order to follow. Facebook is a place where you will be able to interact with your target audience directly. You can ask their opinions on new products or services, address concerns, offer special discounts and promote events or new products. Connecting with “Fans” through Facebook builds customer loyalty, helps build an online presence and increase brand awareness. Facebook is already a happening place and it’s getting more popular every day!
Yelp is a fast-growing local business directory where users can review businesses and post them for the entire community to read. Positive reviews are extremely important for businesses and can help sway customers to choose your business over your competitors. Thanks to the “check-in” feature on Yelp, the directory has become a major player in mobile search. When users visit the business location they can “check-in” and display your business information on their social networks to tell all of their friends where they are. Some businesses draw people in offering special discounts to customers who “check-in” on Yelp. This network is only getting more as popular time goes on.
Merchant Circle is one of the largest online networks of local businesses that combines social networking features with customized web listings. This business directory allows users to review businesses as well as create an online presence for their own business.
Superpages.com is the online Yellow Pages, full of local businesses. It’s a local expert and leading online resource for finding information on local businesses and retailers. Visitors to the site can find business information including hour of operation, driving directions, customer reviews, links and more.
Rate it all is a local business directory that allows users to search for local businesses as well as leave a review. Since the directory has a very strict system for leaving reviews and ratings it is a great place for customers to find trusted reviews of local businesses.

Acxiom is an information conglomerate and database solutions provider. We will submit your business information to Acxiom and it will submit your information to hundreds of online destinations. This drastically helps with link building efforts which in turn helps boost your company to the top of the search engine results page.
InfoUSA is a Core Data Provider (CDP). Core Data Providers benefit local SEO in two major ways.
1) Consistency. When your business information is distributed throughout the Internet, it’s crucial that the information is consistent. This is because inconsistent data confuses the search engines and your potential customers. Inconsistent data could be anything from a small difference like “Net3Marketing” as compared to “Net3 Marketing” or a large change in the information like two different addresses in the business location. When there is inconsistent data, the search engines don’t know which information is right and as a result, your rankings will fall. CDPs make sure this doesn’t happen by distributing consistent, correct, SEO-friendly data across the Web.
2) Popularity. CDPs offer your consistent business information to hundreds of online destinations (websites & directories). The more directories that decide to use that information the more popular your business information becomes. Google likes popular business information and rewards those businesses with higher search engine page rankings. We often refer to local SEO as being an online popularity contest. Whichever business can be found in the most destinations will have a competitive advantage in appearing higher in search engine results.
