For most Businesses, the most popular starting point is with a Listing in our Directories. There are three different listing options, each with varied levels of exposure and reach:
Free Directory Listing
This basic listing is available to every business or community group serving Sunshine Coast. Making your organizations name, Address (optional), Phone number, contact email and Website address available to our readers.
Don’t forget to upload an engaging image to increase your visibility
Enhanced Directory Listing
This listing is designed to benefit from the growing Mobile search traffic.
It stores the same data, but allows you to add a 100 word Business description. Visitors can contact you directly from the listing by clicking on either the phone number or, email. A click on your website address takes the visitor directly to your site. (These website links are no follow).
Your listing appears on a coloured background so that it stands out from other listings, and as an enhanced listing your business appears before all of the Free listings of your competitors.
Your listing is included in up to 2 relevant categories of your choice
You also get 2 free posts on our facebook group each year, and can make a special offer via our newsletter each quarter.
Premium Directory Listing
This listing contains everything in the Enhanced Listing but with some significant additions.
As a Premium Listing your content is displayed before Enhanced and Free listings. Your business description doubles to 200 words, and the coloured background changes to differentiate your listing.
Your listing is included in up to 3 relevant categories of your choice.
When a visitor clicks on your Business name, they are taken to a second page on our website. This page is like your own mini website and will be SEO’d by our team so that it can appear directly in Search Engine rankings for additional exposure.
Your outreach to our community increases to 4 Facebook group posts annually, and you have the option to place a special offer in any edition of our monthly newsletter.
All links to your website, are “do follow” links, adding SEO/Ranking strength to your website in all search engines.
As a final bonus, your business will be the subject of a Premium Article appearing in our Blog, again optimized for Search Engine ranking and exposure. (priced at $195 separately).
