Do you have listings with mutiple directories?

May seem a silly question but do you have loads of listings out there that arent actually working for you?

Case in point - just been speaking with a chap, most disgruntled as the categories he "thought" he was under wasnt appearing on Google - ahh i replied you arent in that category hence you wont be in the search engines for that one.

Why not came his reply - well I said, actually its your page to do what you please with and add yourself to whichever category suits – also you don’t seem to have a high profile weblink on your page, making it difficult to drive traffic to you (despite having 300+ pageviews recently)

Hmmm - just to make you aware it may be beneficial to spend a little time on all of your listings with all the directories you have listed with to ensure that ..

1) the categories are accurate
2) silly typing errors - (you will be amased at how many businesses cant even spell their own name!)
3) web-links actually work - again typos in web-links = no link - sounds simple but if I had a £1 for each listing id corrected id be fairly rich
4)make sure your message gets out there – read & re-read your message – make sure it makes sense and it’s a concise message – waffle and they may well click off before getting to the link.
