Hey everyone! I'm thinking of promoting my services locally and came across the idea of using a local business directory. But I'm not sure how effective it really is. Has anyone here actually gotten customers or traffic from being listed in one?

Yes, I’ve had pretty good results. I added my home repair Local Business Directory to a few local directories and noticed an increase in phone calls within a few weeks. People often search for local services online, and directories rank well in search engines. Also, some directories allow you to add photos, business hours, and links to your website, which builds credibility. It’s not instant magic, but it’s a smart move—especially for small businesses looking to boost local visibility.

That’s really helpful, thank you! I was skeptical at first, but now it makes more sense why so many small businesses use them. I’ll definitely take the time to list mine properly and see how it goes. Appreciate the advice and your real experience with it!
