3. GET LISTED IN ONLINE DIRECTORIES

Directories are the Yellow Pages of the Internet

30© 2014 Deluxe Enterprise Operations, LLC All rights reserved. 30

SEARCH ENGINES

& CONFUSION

Search engines like

Google use a method

similar to our example

They “crawl” millions of sources looking to gain

confidence on where, when, and what

If they are more confident, you move up in rank

Confusion in the Name, Address and Phone area

causes the biggest problems (aka citations)
