How Your Chamber Business Directory Listing Boosts Your SEO
We held our first Member Benefits Webinar on July 9.. Despite some tech issues (does it even count as a virtual event without a few of those?), we hope attendees got some useful information and left with a new understanding of everything their BMCC memberships can do for them. Thanks to everyone who participated.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing some of the benefits we highlighted. One of them, which not many people know about, is how a listing in a Chamber of Commerce Business Directory automatically boosts your SEO ranking and visibility. There’s lots of talk about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) these days, and what it basically means is how easy your business or organization is to find in an online search. When a potential client searches for products, services or information that relates to you, a high SEO ranking means your website pops up near the top of the first page of those search results, instead of being buried somewhere on page 7.
There are lots of factors that inform your SEO performance, and a significant one is your presence on a Chamber of Commerce website. This is because Chamber sites are recognized, trusted and well-established, get lots of traffic, and have dynamic, continually updated content with a wide scope, making them a powerful vehicle for our members’ online visibility. And that is as – if not even more – valuable than any paid advertising. What this all adds up to is that a Directory listing on the BMCC site means customers can easily find and trust what you have to offer. If for no other reason (but there are plenty of other reasons), this makes your BMCC membership well-worth the annual fee.
