I already have a free business listing on Google Local. It’s great because I show up right on top of natural search results when potential clients are searching for a new landscaper on google. There’s a google map with my address right on it, phone number and website link.

Merchantcircle.com is similar in that they offer free listings, but you can also add coupons, reviews, network with other local businesses, blog and more. It may seem like overkill to put much effort into adding your information to more sites, but they do get a significant amount of local traffic (alexa.com stats) which is just the kind you need to grow. Plus, google loves incoming links to your site so the more directories you are listed in the higher up your site will be in search results.

I’ll even give you a bump up here. Leave a comment with your merchantcircle.com listing and I’ll put a link to your site in a future post. Let’s keep this to only the first 10 guys to sign up or comment.
