DIRECTORY
Yes, you need to be a member to claim a listing but anyone can view your business listing.
No. You can get a listing without completely filling out your business directory profile page but to get the experience all the benefits you should complete your business listing.
You look more professional when your entire directory listing is included. If someone wants to reach you by phone and you have no phone number listed you may have lost the call. If you don’t have a website listed, then someone searching for you online or whom wants more information may not be able to do business with you. To maximize your business exposure, you should make certain all the information in the directory is completed and it should be accurate.
There are a number of ways. Someone can search for you with keywords. Someone can look in a category for people in a specific section such as restaurants. Someone can look for 5 star reviews in a chosen category.
You can always change your listing. Consistency counts in business. If your changes or anything else within your listing changes you should immediately edit your listing so that it maintains its accuracy. If you go to 10th Main Street and the business is not there then the customer will be disappointed.
