You don't have to pay Local listing management companies like Yext, Semrush, Manta, or Birdeye to get your business listed online.

Local SEO is a must for any business, big or small, with a physical location that expect customers to visit. It provides low hanging fruit that can essentially put you on page one of Google's search results without a huge amount of effort - a goal that would normally be totally out of reach for most small businesses in competitive industries.

More than 50 percent of Google Search queries are carried out with local intent, as Google and other search engines sort location-specific businesses into localized search results. These results have much less competition than you would find in the country/global level search results, but it takes a few smart steps to rank at the top of them. One important step is to enter your business in local-business listing sites.

Below are all of the sites I currently use. One suggestion would be that after you send me your free listing you can pretty much use it as a template for the rest. Getting set up is pretty uniform for all of these sites.

• Search for your business and see if there is an unverified listing

• Set up an account, claim your business, and make changes to suit your style

• Be consistent on all these sites. Use the same business name, address, phone number, website.

That's pretty much it. Pick and choose which ones you think would work best in helping your business and let me know if you have any questions.

These last three listings offer "tracking" embed code. Since I'm using new google sites, have to give these a little extra space so they don't start showing scroll bars in mobile. Not a very good experience for potential customers. Of the three Agency Heights is a new player in the field and their focus is in Insurance.

You may have noticed that the About page is now titled "friends".

The goal is to provide local businesses free resources to post their business on listing sites for free. You can also post your listing here, as long as you return the favor on your own website. Just a few rules to keep us all sane...said Alladdin.

• You must be the owner

• You must have a website that you can maintain and add my listing but also that of others that participate

• If you want to update your listing, just send it to me and then I'll forward it to all other participants

So, I know and understand that everyone is busy and managing multiple tasks as you grow your own business. This is an exercise in promoting local business and growing SEO at the local level to gain a little more traction.

I'm using a simple form for the information you want to provide. Just send me a request here with basic info and I can send a link for the form to fill out

• Keep in mind this is a free, friendly (get it), and possibly strange exercise in promoting local business.

Ready to see if any of this works? Request the form here, send over 1 or 2 pics, and check out how the flow will go below!
