Where to register a business online

By

Too many phone books
Business listing sites are like the
yellow pages: lots of choices,
and always changing.

My friend Allison Aldrige-Saur asked for a list of online places to register a business. She had Yelp, Google Places and several others, but was not finding a list.

Here’s why there is no list: it changes all the time. Business listing sites come and go. 

This list is over 1 yr old, but gives you a place to start: 10 Websites for Local SEO

As you find new sites to consider, here is how to evaluate those sites. You’ll find a four step process here: SEO Rankings Report. You can use that process to check which sites are most influential in your local market.

  1. So true, there are new listing sites popping up and others fall out of favor. I found a site that produces a report card, with 0-100% score, when you put in a business’s name and zip code – http://GetListed.org. There are additional sites that are important for certain industries too.

  2. Thank you for this information. With billions of websites it can be very overwhelming when looking for something and can’t find it. Luckily I found your blog.
    Thank you too to Sandra for that website. I will be making use of it.
    Happy New Year! :-)
