uPromote's Directory Listing Services are the most comprehensive on the Internet.

How do we know we're the most comprehensive?
For over three years, we've done the research, tested existing products and services and consulted with clients from assorted industries to make them more relevant for the keywords that they want. We believe that educating our clients while we implement the tactics for improving ranking relevancy in each of the spider-based search engines is essential to their ongoing success. Our experience with promoting clients through a blend of manual and automated programs has proven what works and what doesn't.


How we do it?
It's clear that proper keyword selection and page optimization have everything to do with marrying your site with the search engine algorithms. Through constant research and indexing analysis, we know how to optimize your web page prior to submission and make you relevant for the keywords you need to drive qualified leads to your site. While the number of directories and search engines on the Web continues to grow, only a small number receive a heavy concentration of traffic. The others are general directories and links pages that drive fewer visitors to you. Still, not capitalizing on owning a link at some disparate location on the Internet is not a bad idea, since you never know where your next big sale will be coming from. That's why we submit your main URL to approximately 500 search engines, directories, yellow pages, links pages and award sites that meet out standards for usability, size of database and daily traffic. Beyond that, we submit your site to the appropriate industry specific directories (20 guaranteed) and then perform a deep-linking campaign ( submitting each of the major pages within your site individually to the 10 spider-based search engines.) This is our recipe for semi-direct marketing success for our clients.

What makes our service so unique?
We have the relationships and software to determine what keywords will work for you and how to organize web pages to deliver long-term qualified visitors to your site. Our service also includes the following:

Site optimization consulting for higher search engine rankings (includes site copy revision and entry page creation,if deemed appropriate).More info

Here's how it works:
Once we receive your order, your project is released to one of our trained professionals who will execute the work in a timely and thorough fashion. Our team member will contact you to discuss your site, providing you with worthwhile advice for optimizing your site and improving your chances for more relevant ranking in the search engines. During that discussion we gain a better understanding of the keywords/keyword phrases which we will develop as your site's META tags. META tags are important informational code found within your site's HTML programming. These tags are integral components used by many search engines to help assign relevancy to your site. The following table shows just how important META tags are in the indexing process.

We perform a competitive keyword analysis and create the proper tags and input for copy at your site, utilizing our most current knowledge of what the search engines look for. With our understanding of these tags and the engines that use them, we seize the absolute maximum from their potential. Your META tags will be made available in a full report (approximately 35 pages) and sent to your webmaster for placement into your page.

With tags in place we index your site. This will include the related industry specific, regional specific and special interest directories that relate to your web site business. These are directories that focus only on your particular field or locale, highly targeting your desired audience. We further index the relevant sub-pages within your site to enhance it for additional visibility.

You will receive an electronic report including every directory, search engine, link site, etc. that your site was listed with, any communication errors that might have occurred during the project and the actions that were taken to rectify those errors. Projects always begin - and typically are completed - within 5 working days from receipt of payment.

Six weeks later we perform a follow-up listing verification/rank-tracking report to assure that your site is correctly added to the top search engines and directories. We document how well your site ranks under your desired keywords/keyword phrases. In the event that your site is not located during the verification report, we will resubmit you at that time and repeat the verification process six weeks later. Once the project is complete, we will again provide you with an online report.
