subject: What Are Human Edited Business Directories And Is There Any Benefit Of These Directories? [print this page] Online business directories are considered to be one of the best tools of internet marketing. They are not only cheap but now days have become very efficient in spreading information about your business. With an online business directory you can very easily be sure that your business information will be submitted to major search engines and your digital footprint on the internet will spread.
Online business directories work under the same principle as the printed yellow pages with a few improvements. The first thing is that you will not face any space limit in online business directories and you can add as much information as you want in most of the online business directories. Secondly, search engines now prefer local information first so if a visitor from London generates a search query regarding birthday cakes, the search engine will automatically present results from London first after detecting the location of the query generator from their IP address. This means that your business will not only push to the visitors of the business directory, but also to anyone who is searching the web for keywords relating to you.
There are two types of business directories. Firstly, you find business directories that are auto which means that any information you submit to the directory will automatically be uploaded. These directories are quick to push your information online. The second would be human edited directories. Human edited business directories are considered better and have better credibility because until a staffer of that online business directory verifies the information you have submitted, nothing will be published to the website.
Your information will only be published once it is verified and approved by a human staffer of the business directory. Human edited business directories enjoy better repute and credibility with search engines which mean that if you are listed in a human edited directory, you will automatically receive better ranking in search engine results and your result will be pushed up due to the endorsement of that particular human edited directory.
Human edited directories usually charge more compared to auto operated business directories but they also provide you with better ranking and credibility, so paying a little more to get listed in a human edited business directory is always a good deal for any business.
