Why you need to a create business listing.

It's important to build business credibility and trust through associations within your local business community. The Adelaide Hills business listings are widely promoted to fellow AHBC members and others seeking your products and services.

However, the real reason why you need to create a business listing is around search engines like Google. One of the best strategies to improved Search Engine Optimising (SEO) is "BackLinks". (Where a website links to another website)

It's a voting system of sorts where the votes from the AHBC Business Directory goes to your website. The higher the industry authority, the larger number of votes attributed to your website's SEO ranking.

After all, everyone with a website wants the best search engine ranking possible. (A Business Listing with the AHBC has an est. value of $500pa)

Promotion Sites

FB = Facebook promotions are featured daily with an average of 25 businesses promoted each day to around 2000 local FB members.

Tips:

      1. Your logo plays an important roll around branding your business so ensure you have a logo and it is hosted.
      2. The business introduction should be a message that will engage with your potential clients. Eg. Locksmith intro, "We sell deadlocks" is not as engaging as "Protect you and your family with quality door locks". Note the words "You and Yours and the emotive words "Protect" and "Family" to provide greater engagement and to add value.
      3. Jazz up your listing to standout with formatting codes. Add bold text and point items to your listing using simple formatting codes.
