In recent weeks I have spoken to many, many property managers in the north Florida area and many of them have told me they need more properties to manage. And if our website could help them capture more homeowners looking for a property manager to manage there property.
In the past many of our property managers have had great success on our site with there company listing in our property manager directory That ranks #1 in Google for the most popular term "Jacksonville Property Managers"
But after further review of some management companies in search engines like Google, Yahoo, Etc.... I have noticed many of them are not even listed in the local Yellow Pages, Yahoo local, Google local, etc.... How can this be? These are basic steps to creating a presence on the information super highway :)
Let me explain....Do a simple search for whatever market you live in (jacksonville property managers)...What do you always see at the top of search results????
YOU GUESSED IT!
95% of every search you type in will return "LOCAL" results for companies listed in google local, yahoo local, etc.. With direct links to your xyz website.
Having your business listed in these directory's will greatly increase your website traffic, phone leads, and hopefully a new management contract, a new lease.... The possibilities are endless!!!
Here is a short list of yellow pages directory's that you can list your company in. (these are of the top of my head)
http://www.localeaze.com (used to be a paid listing service)
http://www.theyellowpages.com/
http://www.superpages.com/
http://www.yellowpages.com/
http://yp.yahoo.com/
http://www.yellowbook.com/
http://www.realpageslive.com/
http://www.switchboard.com/
https://www.google.com/local/add/
**edit** I forgot a good one that is also free!
http://advertise.local.com/
These directory's are free! Many of these companies share data between each other. Meaning if you list your company in theyellowpages.com it may also appear on yellowpages.com
Hopefully this will be helpful to property managers just starting out and looking for business.
Good Luck!
Robbie, We all need to pay more attention to getting seen and heard. Thanks for the information.
