RelyLocal.com is much more than an online directory and grass-roots campaign designed to promote local businesses! Don't get us wrong - those are both great things. However, we are really here to help solve two major problems that plague most small businesses today.
Problem: Many businesses already have a good web site, but nobody really uses it. They spend precious time and money for ongoing design, SEO, and expensive advertising that appears to produce no tangible results. Other businesses don't have a web presence at all, but know that they are losing customers as a result.
Solution: If potential customers can’t find your web site or listings, they aren't likely to find your location, either. We not only bring you new, highly qualified traffic directly from your listing on RelyLocal.com, but we also feed the search engines and other directories, increasing your overall online exposure and organic (free) rankings. |
RelyLocal.com
Our web site is a small but integral piece of our entire local marketing solution. You simply choose a category (or multiple) in which to feature your business listing and we'll take care of inputting all of your information; company description, logo, location, hours of operation, web address, email - even coupons, photos, banner ads and links to your Blog, Facebook, or Twitter pages! Our first goal is to drive traffic to your business - online or off. As a result, some customers will find what they need about your business directly on our site, while other customers will continue on to your site to get even more information.

Aggregate and Organic Listings
In addition to the new customers you will gain directly from RelyLocal.com, you will also begin to see increased traffic and exposure on many other search engines and directories. With things like meta keywords and even the content on your page becoming less relevant to search engines (because it can be manipulated), your site being featured on trusted sites like RelyLocal.com will help to increase your search engine rankings. We will also consult with you to make sure you are getting the most out of your listings on sites like Google Maps and MSN Local.

Community Campaign
While we provide businesses and loyal locals with window decals, bumper stickers, and t-shirts - it is about much more than just that "warm-and-fuzzy" feeling. These tools are a small but very deliberate part of building an effective grass-roots campaign to support local business. It is our way of making RelyLocal the new "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" for local businesses. |  |
