Free links from Google, Yahoo and MSN and are often missed when marketing a website.
The great thing about these links apart from being free is that they can get you to the top of the listings when people enter a service and a town when searching online.
This on top of all the other SEO work that you will no doubt be doing to promote your business.
For example; if you are living in Leeds and you are interested in buying a Conservatory then you would probably search for ?conservatory leeds? or ?conservatory supplier leeds? rather than simply ?conservatory?.
Follow my advice from here and invest half an hour of your time to appear towards the top of the search engine results!
The first place to take you to is Google Maps Local Business Centre. You will need to open a free account but you will benefit from the minimal effort required.
Secondly, visit MSN Live Search for more of the same and another chance to increase your visibility.
Thirdly, take a trip to Yahoo! Local Advertising and repeat the recipe. Yahoo! will try to upgrade you to the paid service as you go through the sign up. It's up to you whether you bother or not. For myself, I would start of on the free service and see how it goes.
