Dispatch Local Business Directory Pages
Find the business you need in new business directory pages.
The beauty of “Local Business Pages” is that all the businesses you’re ever likely to need, are listed in one, easy to use place. Like a “Local Business Directory.”
Now, the people who publish Dispatch Magazine, Spider Solutions, have launched a new family of local business directories, that are not only comprehensive, but constantly updated and extremely easy to use.
The new “Local Business Directory Pages” are to be found on your local community website and are designed to be as simple as possible to use. If you’re searching for a specific business, using the “Search Facility” is the easiest way of finding the business you need. Simply type in the name of the trader you’re looking for, or type in the trade, such as, “plumber” or “driving school.” The Search Facility will find all listed businesses within the local area of the community website. This means that the Diss community website for example, will display all the Diss based trades that you’ve searched for. If you live between community areas, simply widen your search area and the Search Results will display all the businesses you’re searching for in several, or all of the community areas. If you know the name of the trader you’re looking for, you can also search using the A to Z alphabet listing.
The “Local Business Directory Pages” are constantly updated by the Dispatch team, who are in regular contact with virtually all of the businesses in the Dispatch area. Business owners can submit their own details live online and, as the service is free to business owners, any that are not being contacted by the Dispatch team are encouraged to ensure their details are kept up to date.
Dispatch publisher, Jonathan Horswell, said of the new local business directories; “These new local business listings provide a free service for both local business and local consumers. The “Local Business Directories” are built using a sophisticated search engine that makes them incredibly easy to use and obviously we would like to ensure every local business is listed, so consumers have as wide a choice of local traders as possible.”
Business owners get a helping hand
The business that doesn’t advertise itself, is an invisible business.
Unfortunately, in today’s economic climate, if you want consumers to buy from your business, you need your name to be known. Fortunately, advertising isn’t the only way of getting your business name known. Word of mouth is the best, or worst, reputation a business can have. But being listed in a local business directory is a quick and simple way of getting your business name in front of consumers when they’re looking for a tradesman, a business, or a specific service.
The new “Local Business Directory Pages” are free for all businesses to register. Simply add your details online at any time. “We want to make sure our local businesses get as much local business from local consumers as possible;” says Jonathan Horswell. “That’s why we’ve made the local business listings entirely free.”
But if you want to make your business stand out from the crowd, for a small monthly fee, you can choose to highlight your listing making it appear at the top of search results. You can also link to a full page online ad, displaying all the information you’d like consumers to know about your business, and displaying your company logo and pictures.
If you want to ensure you get as much “local” business as possible, you need to make sure you’re listed in the “Local Business Directory Pages.”
And make sure you do your business locally.
