It seems that everyone is constantly on the prowl for local businesses. If you didn’t know, Google realises that everyone wants to search for these businesses, so the search algorithm awards a higher ranking to business that can show Google that they are both relevant and local as well.

When Google changed up their new algorithm, this feature was changed up significantly because before, if you search for a place to eat, the results would have been very similar Singapore-wide. But now, thanks to the algorithm, the results vary depending on where you are exactly in Singapore. You will see different results when you’re in Woodlands compared to when you’re in Sentosa.

Note: If you’re planning to engage a website developer, SEO consultancy or digital marketing consultancy, you can use the ThunderQuote platform for free to get up to 5 quotes from trusted local service providers. 

 

 

Long story short, there are many ways you can try to drive more targeted visitors to your website. Local SEO is one of them and that is what we’re trying to offer here today in this article. All the other SEO methods are important and valuable as well, but the biggest local search boost comes from the local Singaporean business directory listing!

In this case, the Singaporean business directories are not just for driving search traffic for you but rather they can also provide referral traffic from people that are just merely clicking from your listing.

Before you jump off the bandwagon and start finding Singaporean directories and submitting your business, we feel that you should get a couple of things done and in order before you do so.

 

 

If you do a normal Google search for Singaporean business directories, you will come across so many of them. You might think you’ve hit the jackpot, but be careful because despite having a lot of businesses that are listed on the directory, they might be a waste of time. Or maybe worse – using them might damage your Google ranking. Why?

Here’s why :

• They are more than likely to have been taken from old and outdated lists.
• Some of these directories might require a payment.
• Most of the links might have not even been tested, hence, leading to most of them being broken and unusable.
• Some of these websites are just rubbish with almost no backlink value.

The team here at ThunderQuote have tried their best to check through these links to make sure they are in perfect working condition for you to start listing your business in hopes of elevating your local SEO score.
