What We Do

Local Business Listing Research and Creation

We will search for duplicate local business listings as these prove to be problematic and will affect the integrity and user-friendliness of your listings. Search engines and major local listing sites flag duplicate entries as these confuse users. We also do competition analysis on your category and do search engine ranking comparisons as well as current directory listings analysis to assess your position and decide how to move forward. We make sure that your (NAP) name, address and phone numbers are valid, verified and are consistent across all current and future listings. This allows us to create your local listing profiles on Google Places, Bing Local, Facebook Places and Foursquare; as well as on top local directories, niche or geo-related directories.

Custom Citation Building

We provide high quality image sourcing, editing with branding, and optimisation such as geo-tagging and back link generation. We then upload and publish your branded image to 4 primary local business directories.

Image Creation, Optimisation, and Publication

We perform directory research and register your business to specialised directories as well as submit a report of recommended paid directories.

Review Publication and Promotion Creation

We analyse the reviews of your competition and then we publish reviews for you. We also provide promotion copy writing and promotion banner/image design as well as coupon creation for you with a bar code.

Local Mobile “Check In” Visibility
