Local businesses have to be found online to compete with large and multi-location services, to improve their brand awareness, and reach their potential customers. This is one of the reasons local search engine optimization is a crucial strategy for new and small businesses.
We help ensure your business information is correct and visible when users search for it online. We target geographic locations for your business with local marketing and increase your customer reach. Besides competing with large companies, you also have local competitors. RoryMartin.com makes it easy to get syndicated amongst all essential local directory and listing websites.
With every local listing, your business is listed on, your website becomes one step closer to reaching your potential customers by influencing the search engines. Our experts at RORYMARTIN INC. also monitor your business listings after they’ve been submitted to make sure that the information is protected and accurate. Another benefit to local listing sites is the opportunity to gain reviews from customers again and again.
Local listings, business listings, and citations are all great opportunities to gain search rankings. Our experts will research and find the best local directories according to your geographical location.
Here is a sample list of important local business directories we can submit your business profile on:

By placing your website link on multiple listing sites, your reach can be expanded and you can rank higher in local searches. Google’s latest algorithm aims to improve searches with local keywords such as ‘closest’, ‘near me’, and more. Local listings improve organic SEO with the help of quality backlinks and a higher number of citations. This proves your business is legitimate and credible. We call this “Making you a big fish in lots of smaller ponds”.
The more local directories your business information is listed on, the higher the visibility your brand gets. The popular listing directories have hundreds and thousands of visitors daily looking for a business in their vicinity. So, it is crucial to have a local listing to drive more and more traffic to your business store or website.
Most of the online directories fetch business details from other listing sites. So, if your business or company details are listed on the most popular sites, you can see your business information on other local listing sites or directories as well. This in turn will amplify your online presence.
In fear of negative reviews, most business owners hesitate to get their business listed on local directory sites. However, this negates the opportunity for happy customers to leave a positive review online which is very important to build a strong reputation.
Google My Business, Yelp, and Facebook play the role of mini search engines where the users look for a specific type of service or business. A greater audience will be able to discover your brand or business if you add accurate business information to these directories.
