Premium Listings
Free Basic listings are available to any business who wants
one. However the most benefit to your business will be gained
from a Premium
listing. A Premium listing displays a large amount of
information about your business.
On top of the expected contact information, such as Postal
and Physical addresses, phone and fax numbers, Premium listings
also display a link to your business’ web site, an email
address of your choice, a 60 character overview and a 2000
character detailed description. The 2000 character description
is a huge asset and provides multiple benefits, as you are
about to see.
The LocalBiz business directory provides the detailed, localized
information about businesses that people are looking for on
the Internet. The large amount of detail provided and the
way that it is provided give a number of huge benefits to
businesses with LocalBiz Premium listings.

So, You Do Have A Web Site
A LocalBiz Premium listing complements your existing web
site perfectly. A Premium listing adds at least one more way
for people to find your web site. In reality, it will probably
add many more than just one extra way.
The first and most obvious way that a Premium listing will
bring you more visitors to your web site is the link directly
from the Premium listing to your web site. Visitors to LocalBiz
who view your Premium listing can click on your web site link
and a new browser window will open to display your site.
Less obvious than this, but at least as important is the
Search Engine factor. Most Search Engines (Google, Alta Vista
etc) have programs running on the computers which 'travel'
the Internet indexing pages to be displayed when people perform
searches. When Search Engines find your Premium listing on
LocalBiz, they can add that page to their index. So, when
people visit a Search Engine to perform searches, they have
a chance of finding your LocalBiz Premium listing as well
as your main web site.
You may or may not have heard about link popularity with
regard to Search Engines. Link popularity is the extra importance
given to your web site’s position in the Search Engine
based on the number and quality of links to your web site
from other sites.
When you use a Search Engine to find something on the Internet,
it returns a list of all sites that it can find which match
your search words. These results are displayed in the order
of importance – or rank. The rank associated with each
result displayed is determined using some fairly complicated
formulas, and each Search Engine has its own formula.
One aspect which is becoming very standard when determining
rankings is link popularity – the number and quality
of links to your web site.
A site which has a large number of links to it, is likely
to be much higher up the ranking order than a site which has
only a few links to it. In some cases, the quality of the
links also makes a large difference. A link from a very popular
site is more important than a link from a site that only gets
5 visitors a year.
LocalBiz premium listings provide a link to your web site
immediately. As search engines visit the LocalBiz site and
view your Premium listing page, extra links will be created
to your web site in the search engines. Not only that, but
the links that are added will have extra importance in some
search engines due to the size of the LocalBiz site, thereby
increasing the link poularity of your web site.
