Free Directory Sites for SEO

Free Directory Sites

Not all of these will be a great fit for your law practice, but here’s a partial list we use as part of the link-building effort of solos and small law firm for whom we’re providing SEO services. Adding your law firm to some of the directories will not take very long and can be done by a legal secretary or paralegal who has a little free time.

Remember that your listings must be absolutely uniform with respect to your “NAP” (name, address and phone). For example, always use “(555) 555-5555” for your phone and never vary from that format throughout all of your listings.

The first group of directories is extremely important for Google:

Google Places http://www.google.com/places
Bing Places http://www.bing.com/businessportal/
Yahoo Local Business http://local.yahoo.com/
Superpages http://www.supermedia.com/spportal/business-listing#
Yelp http://www.yelp.com/
InsiderPages http://www.insiderpages.com/
InfoUSA http://www.expressupdateusa.com/
City Search http://citysearch.com

Add to some of these when you have some free time, but less important than above:
