Start Using the Kansas City Directory, Today!


Start Using the Kansas City Directory, Today!

http://KansasCityDirectory.BlogSpot.com




Have you been ripped off by a contractor?
Have you received less than good service from an area business?
Do you really have the time to checkout the background of 10 contractors during a crisis situation?

Yes.
Yes.
Uh, no.

If you’re one of the 78% of the consumers who start on the internet to research a company before you buy their product or service, the Kansas City Directory has been specifically designed for you.

Clients, friends, and business partners tell us the directory is a great resource to start your research. Since 86% of internet users don’t trust traditional advertising, the Kansas City Directory is built to deliver high quality referrals to internet users in Kansas City.

Consumers can visit the Kansas City Directory and pick a subdirectory to start researching Kansas City businesses.

With over 25 subdirectories, it’s more than likely the right professional can be found to get the job done...

RIGHT!

Users can view the recommendations in the comment sections and the Likes on the right. Companies with more likes are typically more recommended businesses. Consumers can also click on the business listing title to go straight to the businesses website.

Since 78% of online consumers use reviews to help in the purchasing process, consumers who start with using the Kansas City Directory will be able to gain valuable research and referrals to some of Kansas City’s most successful and reputable businesses. The one stop shop for information will also help consumers save valuable time that can be used for other activities.

Consumers may dislike using another directory, signing up for another service, or trusting the recommendations of the Kansas City Directory. We understand that.

The Kansas City Directory is not like a Angie’s List or a Yellow Pages directory where any business can get listed. After a business request to be listed, the staff of the Kansas City Directory researches the business. Only high quality businesses will get added.

We further ensure that the recommendations and likes of each business listing is legitimate by requiring users to login versus being anonymous.

WHY?

By doing this we keep anonymous users from trashing businesses unfairly. I think we have all seen this on other sites, correct?

We have built the directory for consumers who value peer recommendations and find referrals valuable. Trust is very important to us. Businesses who abuse the system will be removed.

To get started, visit the Kansas City Directory today and start your research. I’m sure you will find the directory useful. Feel free to add content.

The Kansas City Directory is hitting a milestone with over 2500 views the past 2 weeks.

I was just notified by List.ly that the Kansas city Directory has hit over 2500 views in the past 10 days. Yep, that means the business listings, places and list on the directory have seen some action.

I have heard from over 20 people in the past week how the Kansas City Directory has helped a customer find their business or from a viewer who has used the directory to find a business.

Last week I was notified by a business that 2 customers found their business off of Google. He said Google had their Kansas City Directory business listing on the first page of Google.

In another situation, a Google+ friend posted on Google+ that he found a plumber off of a post that I shared off of List.ly.

If you haven't listed your business into the directory, I would like to hear why not. The bigger the directory grows, the more it will help each business that has added their business listing.

Here are sub-directories that you might want to list your business into:
B to B Directory - Businesses who main customers are other businesses
Home Based Businesses
Referral and Networking Groups
Technology Companies
Restaurants
Health and Beauty
Sports Bars
Pizza Restaurants
Home and Garden

To view the whole directory, go to: Kansas City Directory

What are you waiting for, get started by listing your business in the appropriate sub-directory, then vote for your favorites in each sub-directory.

Learn how to get your Kansas City Website to Rank #1 on Google by Using Facebook and Google+

At the end of the year last year, I was contacted by a man who is a member of a networking group here in Kansas City. He was the website developer of the group how my listings were #1 on Google for the keyword, Kansas City Networking. 

After talking for a while, I discovered what this Kansas City website developer was doing wrong and what I was doing right. It is so simple, that you will laugh.

Kansas City Directory - If you have a small to medium size business in Kansas City you should participate in the directory so you can position your business to receive more referrals with less effort and time.


Kansas City Directory

The Kansas City Directory is a referral source for small to medium size businesses in Kansas City.

If you have a small to medium size business in Kansas City you should participate in the directory so you can position your business to receive more referrals with less effort and time.

You can start by adding your business to the directory.

Next, you can share your business listing on the directory with your friends and followers on Google+, Twitter, and Facebook by using the share button. We encourage you to ask your family and friends to like your business listing and make a recommendation in the comment section. The more likes and recommendations your business listing gets on the directory, the more marketing exposure your business listing will receive on social media to over 100,000 Kansas Citians..

The Kansas City Directory is designed off of a successful directory template that have found to get lots of Google juice. Participating members who visited weekly in 2012 on similar directories have seen their customer base doubled, referral base tripled, and their advertising cost slashed nearly in half. We anticipate similar results on the Kansas City Directory.

Some of the roadblocks for small to medium size businesses are “Being ALL things to ALL customers, having not enough time to participate, and not seeing a benefit in participating.

Small to medium size businesses need to know their niche and market toward their niche. Trying to be all things to all people is a definite recipe for a business failure. The Kansas City Directory helps solve this problem by enabling businesses to enter a personalized description of their business for prospective customers to view. Customers can weed themselves. Businesses that specialize will see success in 2013.

Not having enough time seems to be a roadblock for many small to medium size businesses in Kansas City when introduced to social media or a new marketing activity. What they are actually saying, I don’t see the benefit. Surely by seeing a dramatic increase in their marketing exposure by participating in the Kansas City Directory weekly with about the same time as making a small pot of coffee in the morning they will see the value, right? Many participants in similar directories have seen their marketing exposure nearly double.

An important stat from Manta points to an alarming business startic. 49% of the small to medium size businesses researched in 2011 that engaged on social media to increase their business, saw over 25% of their new customers come through social media. Wow, over 25% and the Kansas City Directory will be making it easier for those businesses that elect to participate. Lets get started right?

So how do you get your small to medium size business in Kansas City started? You can first get started by adding your business listing to the appropriate subdirectory in the Kansas City Directory, then share your business listing on Google+ (use the #KCDir  Hashtag), Facebook (use @Kansas City Networking), and (use the #KCDir hashtag).
