It’s a powerful way to gain visibility in your local market.
2. How will being featured in the Top 5 help my visibility?
Securing the number 1 position in our Top 5 list ensures your business appears in a prominently ranked Google search result. This boosts your chances of being found by potential customers in your area. Additionally, being featured as a top local business increases your credibility and trustworthiness.
3. What’s included with the Number 1 Position?
The Top Position in a ranked post includes:
- The Number One spot in one of our Google-optimized posts, which is seen by customers actively searching for services in your industry.
- A free business directory listing (valued at $4/month), which includes your business contact information, services, and a dedicated page to improve your local SEO.
