Superpages Business Services
By Dirk C Wallace
The Superpages site has become a one-stop-shopping experience
for all your shopping needs. In the past, you would just get a
name, an address and a phone number. If you were lucky, a business
would have an entry on the coupons page or a larger, paid ad for
your consideration.
Today, given the dynamic nature of the internet, you can watch
a company's promotional video, click to their website, read reviews
of their products and services written by other consumers and
email the company directly. It is no wonder why businesses would
want to review your options and take advantage of this great resource.
Free Listing Opportunities
There are many ways for large, small and local business owners
to gain exposure at www.advertising.superpages.com/spportal,
as you can gain information on local advertising opportunities.
To get started, there are free listing opportunities.
You will just include your business location, hours and contact
info, as well as write a brief description of your products and
services, selecting appropriate business categories to aid in
your search.
Adding Special Enhancements To Stand Out
You may want to add special enhancements to help your listing
stand out from the crowd. Color, italics, bold text, custom fonts,
an icon or logo image, larger font size, highlighting or an extra
line of text may all boost your site's exposure.
Whether you are a business owner or consumer, Superpages can
be by your side to meet your needs. Are you always on the road?
No problem, as the site offers a mobile service, which delivers
business directory listings directly to your cell phone.
Locating A Business Online
This service is particularly helpful if you're out and about
but wish to find movie listings, times, reviews and driving directions
to the theater. Or perhaps you need to locate a business, whether
it's a tax professional or a restaurant.
Much like a GPS, you'll get turn-by-turn directions to help you
find your way, no matter where you are. Just like the phone book
white pages, you can also look up a person's address and phone
number. It's even possible to track the weather on your cell phone
if you have a plan with Verizon, AT&T/Cingular, T-Mobile,
Sprint/Nextel or US Cellular.
Another way to advertise on Superpages is to take advantage of
their new video service. According to the 2007 OPA Frames of Reference
Study, 52% of people who see an online video ad take an action.
Perhaps they'll just visit your site or maybe they'll actually
buy from you.
Online Videos Highlighting Your Business
With 71% of web surfers watching online videos, you'll definitely
want to focus some business resources on video production. You
can hire a video professional right through the site who'll come
to your location and help you develop a video highlighting your
business's unique characteristics.
Your 30-60 second spot will be added to your Superpages advertising
page. Of course, you can also produce your own video using existing
commercials or digital photos using the site's Video Builder if
you prefer.

Did You Know This About Business Directories?
Can certain websites help list my business directory so that
it is online?
Thanks to the internet there are many new
websites that list business directories. In fact even the phone
book can be found online. You can always buy space on other websites
for your own business information.
You do need to make sure that the website
is reputable and does not have controversial ads of an adult nature,
unless your business is an adult's only business. There are also
social networking sites that you can put your business information
on. Once again you need to ensure that it is a website that will
help your business…not hinder it.
