Plan ahead for your listing

1. Keep this information handy in a Word, or text file

1. The Services You Offer, to Whom [Identified Audience], Where [Location]
   For eg. Tutu’s offers exotic Mediterranean cuisine to discerning diners in the Bay Area, SFO. Ideally start with the pain points of the customer and then tell them how you can solve the problem for them uniquely. Follow the exact recipe for online persuasion here.
2. Make a list of the Awards, Accreditations, Testimonials that you have received. Keep the reference URLs handy so that you can link to these.
3. Number of years in your business, clients served, client list URL, geographies served, case studies, portfolio.
4. Keep a list of FAQs for your customer.
5. Keep 10 images of your establishment, or work at hand.
6. Your Physical Address for Google Map directions.
7. Your Opening/ Close Timings by day of the week.
8. Keep your YouTube video links about your services at hand.
9. Identify the right category for your listing from the Category Menu, before you start your input. Putting your listing in the wrong category only hurts rather than helps your business.

Image 2: Use FAQs to reduce the perceived risk of doing business with you. See how Pigtail Pundits does it for its business.

Image 3 from Pigtail Pundits’ page on e-bizda shows deep links to your website with formatting using H2 headlines. Links are coloured pink to differentiate it from the normal copy. No raw URLs are visible.

Image 4: Use testimonials, from identifiable clients, strategically to reinforce the credibility of your claims in the copy.
2. Format your local citation text for better readability

1. Don’t copy text verbatim from your website into the editor at e-bizda.com
   Remember, Google doesn’t like duplicate copy so avoid getting lazy. Try and rewrite your services differently from what you have done on your website. Keep a list of links to your site handy.
2. Format your text using the online editor at e-bizda
   Don’t copy text directly from Word as it skews the display format. If you need to copy text, then enable the HTML source icon in the editor and then copy your text. Format you text intelligently for better readability.
3. Don’t insert raw URLs into the editor
   eg https://www.e-bizda.com. Take the trouble to link the text to the hyperlink using the editor.

Image 5: You can use up to 5 images in the header. More images can be used in the body of your listing. Use the Share button to promote your listing to your social networks after the listing is approved by us.
3. Promote your Listing after it’s approved
Because of the increasing clutter on the web today, it isn’t enough just to list. You need to promote your listings too. While we at e-bizda.com will do everything to rapidly index your link, you can help too. Given below are a few things you could do to boost your listing.
