Is Your Business Listed??

Is your business listed in online directories? These are like the yellow pages for the internet. Some of these can be a little time consuming to work through, but adding your business to these listings is a huge (and free!) step in maximizing your online exposure. If you're computer savvy, it should take about an hour, if not you'd better plan for 2-3 hours of data entry. I listed these by order of importance. If you only do one, make sure you do Google. Have fun and let me know if you need any help :)
