Stumbling upon a new local search listing is always fun. Such is the case with my newest treasure, iBegin. Like my recent fascination with Local.com’s revamped style, iBegin is an online directory that has a number of helpful tools to maximize your business presence.
Here are a few reasons why iBegin can be your next local listing playground:
1. Fluid Categorization: Now I know I’ve talked over and over about how important keeping your business associated with the proper category is, but a categorization process that has multiple branching paths until you find the best one? That’s nearly customization at its finest. Plus, it’s almost too easy to navigate…which brings me to #2.
2. User-Friendly Layout: Entering in contact information is nearly identical to Google, but iBegin’s business description opens up more. Products, Service and Brand sections? iBegin finishes your thoughts for you by giving a bunch of options suited to your business.
3. One, Glorious Page: Everything you need to increase the online exposure of your business is all on one page. Short, sweet and effective.
4. Citation-Creating Machine: iBegin generates a number of important online citations for your website. With the proper contact information entered, a citation acts as a tribute from another webpage, meaning the more credibility your listing carries, the more search engines will start to love you.
After the dust settles, you’ll start to see that iBegin’s welcoming arms can be one of many perfect endings with local search marketing.
