      Manually submitting is TIME CONSUMING and very inefficient, so there are a number of services including yext.com, ubl.org, localeze.com, submiteaze.com and getlisted.com and others (one is yours) but is submitting to one enough or should one as best practice use several and if so which ones would you recommend is providing best bang for you buck?

        Directories used to be really powerfull for rankings and thus investing time on submissions wasn't a problem.

        Now that directories are far less effecitve, you can still do dir submission effectively, but you have to do it manually and carefully to see some restults. This includes writing a unique description for your website for each an every directory!

        A solution would be to outsource that job to a foreign SEO company with lower costs, there are plenty, just make sure they do manual work and can rewrite your description properly.

            Great. Thanks, but I kind of knew that. My question, sorry for NOT being clear, what DIRECTORY SUBMIT SERVICES are worth investing in: getlisted.com, ubl.org, localeze.com, yext.com that ALL are MULTIdirecotry sumbit services, that allows you to control well over 100 directories each at the click of a button, when you want to update phone, descriptions, opening hours or similar. That is the STRATEGY to use yext.com and getlisted.com and skip the others or is it better to do only getlisted.com or what is the strategy for directories?

              I don't know the services you are listing and thus cannot help you any further

              Sorry for that.

                I used Yext late last year and they got me listed in a lot of directories. I can not tie it to an ROI though. I show up in search and I'm in the directories but, 100% of my business is referral.
