Did you know that 2/3 of Australian adults are now online? It is obvious that more and more people are using the internet, so if you're not online your business could be missing out.
That's why ninemsn, the number one web portal in Australia, has just launched MyLocal, an online business directory . It’s a great way for you to reach even more customers than ever before.
You don’t even have to have a business website to benefit, because ninemsn MyLocal is first and foremost about allowing prospective customers to find your company’s phone number and location. Of course if you have a website or email address, these can be included too.
The ninemsn network attracts over 7.6 million unique visitors per month.†
Ninemsn reaches 72% of the active Australian online population – all of whom could be valuable new customer leads.†
Easier and quicker to use than other services. One click is all it takes to get a result!
Your business address and phone number can be sent via SMS to the searcher's mobile phone so they can access your information without being in front of a PC.
Your shop, office or business can be found easily with maps on every page and ‘get directions’ options.
Prospective customers can send you an email with one click.
Your contact details are displayed in response to specific keywords that relate to your business (e.g. florists in Bondi) so prospective leads are actively looking for a local business like your's.
Where there are relevant sponsored listings for an area, sponsored listings appear above free listings on the page. Research shows that users do not often click more than three clicks to get a search result, so appearing nearer the top of the page will result in more leads for your business.
You can add surrounding regions if you service more than one region to ensure you are maximising the reach of your listing.
Sponsored listings include additional descriptive text (e.g. Dom’s Flowers stocks the freshest flowers at the most competitive prices - bouquets and special occasion arrangements are our forte”) to help your business stand out from the free listings, which don’t include this text.
Your business can be listed for searches across multiple relevant categories (e.g. builders AND electricians instead of just builders).
Sponsored listings include a 'more details' page that allows you to provide additional information such as products stocked, opening hours, credit cards accepted and more.
ninemsn local search gives you all the advantages of an internet listing, and so much more. Don't miss out on this great new way for you to attract more customers.
