Local Directory Submission Reseller Opportunity

admin — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:18:01 +0000

Local Site Submit (LSS) offers entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to make money while helping other businesses improve their local search rankings. Instead of using local SEO services to help promote their own businesses, these business owners purchase local site submissions services and resell them to other businesses who need help with local directory submissions.

Local search engine optimization of this nature has become extremely important for businesses that have an online presence. Customers often search for businesses in their area that will meet their needs. If a business can get page 1 ranking on local directories, that business is more likely to attract customers who live in the area.

LSS is a local site submission company that helps customers with Google Places optimization, Yahoo! Local optimization and optimization on other top local sites. These services help businesses rise to the top of local listings for keywords associated with their business niche, which ultimately results in more visits to the business’ webpage or physical location.

Reselling these types of services has become a popular business in and of itself because so many businesses need the local directory services that these types of submission sites offer. Entrepreneurs can easily remake the money they spend on the services by reselling them to a business who is in need of improving local site-rank. In this manner, the directory submission reseller becomes a liaison between the directory site and the local business, helping both businesses to do what they need to do to make money.

LSS offers resellers the ability to manage their clients and keep track of which services have been sold via an online application. Resellers are free to charge whatever they wish for reselling the services and can get professional looking reports from Local Site Submit with their logo and business name. If you are interested in reselling these services, please contact LSS at 877-692-7250.

Local SEO services have become an important part of marketing online businesses. It’s important that businesses not only use general search engine optimization techniques to help them get page 1 ranking on relevant search terms, but that they use local SEO techniques to ensure that customers who are looking for businesses in their area can easily find them. For this reason, selling local site submissions can be very profitable; you might want to become a reseller for our company, Local Site Submit, in order to take advantage of this lucrative business.

As a reseller, you can offer to help businesses with local search directory submissions. You purchase services from a local site submission company and then resell the services to paying customers. This allows you to make money by helping clients attract more local customers.

You’ll need to be familiar with the basics of local SEO, but you don’t need to know more than that. As long as you understand the importance of Google Places optimization and other local site optimization, you will be able to succeed as a reseller. You just need to purchase services from a seller that is an expert in local SEO so that you can pass the expertise onto your customers.

The way it works is simple. You sign up with a local SEO company as a reseller. Then, when your clients hire you to do their local SEO, you purchase services from your SEO company and resell the services to your client. Your client gets higher local page ranks, you make a profit and the SEO company sells its services, so everybody wins.

The Best Local Directory List

admin — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 23:39:58 +0000

Are you looking for a local directories list? This is a comprehensive list of the best local directories to submit your local business to. We have scrubbed this list and added to it over the course of a year. If you have an addition, please leave us a comment. If you are a reseller and want to resell the listing service please call us at (949) 945-3005 to get your account set up. We have discounted reseller rates available.

The benefit of adding your local business to this local directories list is not only to get exposure within these directories, but to also help your Google Local listing rank higher by adding citations. These citations will help your site rank higher overall in Google Places (formerly Google Maps).

Now you can get into many of these by using universal business listings. However, we aren’t big fans of this service. The reason being that they use a feed to supply data to most of these sites. And many times the feed leaves out a lot of data like URL, photos, business description, videos hours, etc. We have found that the feed just doesn’t get enough information into the directory sites. Unfortunately the only way to get robust listings with photos, hours, business descriptions, hours etc. is to manually set up your listings. This is a massive task. You can do it yourself or have Local Site Submit do it for you. You could say that we are a direct competitor of UBL, but really this is a premium listing service. A local site submission is more than just getting your company in directories. Its helps establish you on the web by adding a video to YouTube, creating a blog for you on Blogger, and adding you to several business related social sites like Enterpreneur Connect and Biznik. If you have reviews we will psot them to sites that we know syndicate to Google Places. Plus, you get hundreds of backlinks to your website. This should be the very first step you take in your local SEO journey.

How Do Citations Work?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 00:57:38 +0000

Citations are the lifeblood of your local listings. Meaning without them, don’t expect to rank too well.

What are citations?

Citations are where your business information is placed on other website. An example would be your listing on Yelp. The Google Bot will go over to help and find our business information like Business Name, Phone Number, Address and URL. If it all matches up, then this is a “citation.” In other words, Google has verified that your business is legit on this other directory.

So a citation is basically another listing on another site that has all of your business information.

There are several types of citations available for your business. Most can be explained by taking a look at the Local search Ecosystem. The Local Search Ecosystem by David Mihm is basically what we have designed our submission process after.

What we have done is taken this blueprint and then added some additional business related sites like Facebook, Twitter, Ning, Blogger and other related sites and we post your business information on these sites. This casts a large web of data that represents your business.

In addition we place links on all these sites so that your business will gain over a hundred inbound links to your site. This will help in your organic search engine rankings as well.

Our hand submission process is better than Universal Business Listings and other submission services. The reason being is that we set up new accounts at each website. We then add photos, and video where possible, and then add blog posts, ads and as much content as possible to each listing. The problem with Universal Business Listings is that after it passes data off the first level data aggregators like InfoUSa your data gets sent out as a feed. This feed is “thin,” meaning that they only send out basic information. So, while you may get a listing on Faves.com for example it wont be super optimized.

Our philosophy is that if your listing is ranking high on the other directories and search engines then this will help boost your rankings on Google and Google Maps. So basically, more is better. And I believe we have the best submission practice out there. If you really want the best, then use our submission service. I challenge anyone else out there to match what we are doing. Yes, you CAN do it but are the companies you are working with actually doing the work. So read more about what we do at www.localsitesubmit.com
