Nowadays, Google plays a crucial role in business management. To be successful, you need to be findable online and that is a must. If you still doubt it, take a look at Google My Business conversion points lists, the AMP project (Accelerated Mobile Pages) and similar applications. Those certainly do boost businesses and help them reach the right target group. Digital visibility is vital for business distribution. And if you want to be on the top of the trend, you should definitely work on it, instead of just waiting for Google to notice your company. Online business directories, niche commerce listings, and citation pages improve your online appearance and will certainly ease your customers in their way of finding you. Also, the backlinks from these sites will upgrade your SEO substantially. Here are a few important tricks to consider when adding you NAP (Name, Address, Phone number) to business directories:

• Consistent NAP. When you update or change your information, make sure you do it everywhere and it is always the same. If you provide different details, it would be harder for your clients to reach you.
• A link to your website. This is mandatory. Make sure to include backlinks, also known as inbound links, to your business presentation. They are essential for your company website's domain authority. Think of adding a tracking link at the end of the URL, too. It will show you how much traffic you gain from the different business directories you are listed at.
• A company description. Be scrupulous with your business details and add insights into your professional characteristics. They should be in line with your company’s mission, key values, and business vision.
• Diversify your portfolio with multimedia materials: include pictures, videos, stories of your employees, your office or your company services.
