Is Your Company Listed in the Online YellowPages?
If you are like most business owners, you have probably submitted your website to the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. But what about all the IYP (internet yellow pages) and review sites? While it’s true they don’t get nearly the traffic that the major search engines get, being listed their gives your clients one more place to find you.
In some cases, a strong listing on one of these sites can mean another listing in google’s organic results. Typically, here are only 10 positions on the first page of Google. If your site is already on the front page that means you have 1/10th the positions. If a listing from on of the IYP sites or even the review sites is also listed you double the odds that someone will contact you!
Here are Some Examples of IYP and Review Sites:
These are just 7 examples we have used for a local contractor in Oklahoma:
Thunder Construction
# 2561, 305 Northwest 5th St.
Oklahoma City, OK 73101
(405) 582-0738
thunderconstructionllc.com
You should strongly consider adding your business listing to some or all of these sites ass part of your local web promotion efforts. If you need help, the folks at MapTraffic.net will gladly assist you. They can be reached at 888-Map-Map1 (888-627-6271).
New Rep for AdzZoo has a Very Happy Client
In just three weeks Dave Trosdahl, a new campaign director for AdzZoo has a very happy client. In late January Dave Trosdahl met with a small independent insurance agent in North Branch,MN and discsssed his advertising methods. The owner spoke of his frustration with directory advertising and his disappointing online presence.
AdzZoo Expert Dave Trosdahl Explains AdzZoo
Unlike many other forms of online advertising, AdzZoo actually helps small businesses navigate the murky waters of sponsored search advertising. For a flat monthly fee, they will get companies listed in 100 different search engines. From AdWords to adCentral and even Search Marketing, AdzZoo will select “buying” keywords rather than “shopping” keywords. The layman will oftentimes choose the wrong keyword phrases which generate clicks without results. This can lead to a huge advertising bill for each click a shopper makes with no new business to show for it.
Insurance Agent Notices an Increase in Phone Calls
Targeting keyword phrases like “homeowners insurance north branch mn” AdzZoo was able to drive visitors to their landing page and generate a ton of quality phone calls of people looking for homeowners insurance. This was accomplished by visitors searching for various terms like the one above and finding the AdzZoo ad on the first page of Google and other search engines, seeing a listing in Google Maps, on GPS systems including phones and Tom-Toms as well as organic listings.

Minneapolis Heating Cooling Contractors on BackPage.com
Backpage.com is a classified advertising site where you can find local ads in much the same way you would in a newspaper. BackPage.com is also like craigslist in many ways but offers one main advantage; you can pay to have your listing auto renew. For $23.40 per year you can have a listing in the home improvement section. Here is an example of a Minneapolis Heating Cooling contractor who has placed an ad promoting their heating cooling company.
BackPage.com has another big advertising advantage over craigslist. whether you pay for a listing or not, they will email you when the ad expires. The email also has a link to renew the ad again for free or upgrade it to a paid listing.
Unfortunately, BackPage does not get nearly the traffic that craigslist does. When it comes to visitors, craigslist is the king of online ads. For many though, BackPage offers features not found on craigslist and that can make all the difference.
