A local business listing is an online profile that contains your business name, address, phone number, and other details.
There are thousands of websites and directories on which local business owners are allowed to create free business listings.
You need to have local listings online to increase your search engine rankings online.
In order to qualify for a local business listing in any index, your business must meet all four of the following criteria:
1. Have a business name or DBA
2. Have a local phone number that matches your city of location (not a shared phone number, toll-free number, or call tracking number)
3. Have a dedicated physical street address (not a shared address, PO box, or virtual office)
4. Make face-to-face contact with your customers (business is not conducted virtually)
