The Link-building Phase
The link-building phase involves submitting your website to high quality directories and search engines in order to create relevant, quality backlinks. Essentially the more quality backlinks your site has, the higher the search engines will regard it and as a result, the higher it will rank.
As no two businesses are alike, it stands to reason that different websites should be submitted to different directories. In other words some directories will be a better fit for some websites, while other directories will be more appropriate for other sites.
Submitting Your Site to Thirty Local Search Engines and Directories
Our local SEO link-building service is both comprehensive and up to date. We include a total of thirty of the most highly regarded local search engines and directories. While several publish immediately, most local directories and search engines take from three days to as long as three months.
Submitting Your Site to the Best Free Directories
One of the fastest ways we help increase the popularity of your website and improve your search engine rankings is by submitting it to the highly regarded and best free directories. Although there are currently hundreds, the most important is DMOZ, which acts as a source for a number of other search engines and directories including Google. It’s important to point out that because we don’t own the search engines or for that matter, the directories, we have no control over when or even if they will accept and publish your listing. DMOZ, for example, has been known to take anywhere from two to fourteen months before listing a website.
Your site benefits from directory submission because each directory that accepts your listing provides a backlink, which essentially counts the same as a vote for it. You also benefit from our years of experience in determining the best and most relevant directories to submit to, creating the page titles, keywords and descriptions and handling the entire directory submission process on your behalf.
Submitting to Your Site to the Premier Paid Directories
Submitting your site to the best of the free directories alone is often not enough to significantly boost your search engine rankings. In fact, dozens of inbound links from low Google page rank sites will do little to improve your rankings. Submitting to the premier paid directories is, therefore, a necessary complement to the free directory submissions. These premier paid directories include Yahoo Directory, Business.com and Best of the Web. While submitting to the premium paid directories is included in our website marketing packages, the annual charges for the listings will be charged directly to a client provided credit card.
Submitting Your Site to the “Best Bang for the Buck” Paid Directories
Keep in mind that all directory submissions on your behalf are manual, or in other words, they are submitted one at a time by hand. Not only do we save you from this relatively tedious process, but we also laser-target the “best bang for the buck” paid directories, based on a combination of Google page rank, Alexa traffic rank, and number of links from the three major search engines. The directories in this category are all one-time only (lifetime) links but will also be charged to a client provided credit card.
