SEO Buleprint - WEEK 06

 

 “Week 6 – Submit Your Site to Directories”

End of Week Goals

• Set a schedule over the next 3 weeks to submit your website to 10 national, 10 local, and 10 niche
directories.
• For this week, submit your URL to the 10 national directories.
• Set up reminders to submit your site to 5 national directories per week thereafter for 3 weeks. 

Directory listings are important no matter whether you’re a local or national business, but if you are local,
they’re an even bigger deal because of the map listings. This week is all about embarking on the (I’m afraid
mind numbing) task of submitting your website to online directories.

Set yourself reminders and schedule the following...

Week 6 – 10 x National Directories
Week 7 – 10 x Local Area Directories
Week 8 – 10 x Niche / Industry Specific Directories
Week 9 – 5 x National Directories
Week 10 – 5 x National Directories
Week 11 – 5 x National Directories.

I would only recommend continuing to build directory links to your website beyond week 11 if you’re trying to
compete for the very top position on the Google Map Listings.

In this case, you’ll need to carry out more surgical research into the competition, and in particular the citations
associated with their sites, by using Whitespark (https://whitespark.ca). Reference the tutorial video called
‘How to Get on Google Maps’ for more help with this.
