The Marin Independent Journal is building a comprehensive online business directory but needs local businesses to go online and voluntarily submit their business information to flesh it out.
"Our online business directory gets great visibility on marinij.com. Local businesses should take advantage of this free and easy way to build their SEO. Plus it helps to make for a more comprehensive guide for our readers too. The more listings, the better", says IJ Marketing Director, Dianne Provenzano.
The Local Guide appears on the side bar of the Marin IJ's news website, marinij.com which attracts an average of 160,000+ unique users per week and continues to grow with page views regularly reaching over 1.5 million per week.
There is no cost and all local businesses are welcome. Adding business information to online directories like the IJ's Local Guide, along with other free online business directories, is a proven way to improve website SEO for search engines.
Businesses in Marin county are asked to log on to http://mylocal.marinij.com/ and click the orange box in the upper right corner of the page that says "Add Your Business." Once information is submitted it will be confirmed with a phone call to ensure accuracy then published in the online Local Guide.
"It's free and takes just a few minutes. If every local business participates, we'll have a robust online business directory for the community."
To add your local business listing, go to
http://mylocal.marinij.com/ or visit marinij.com and scroll down to the "Local Guide" on the right side bar.
