While having a map listed on your website may be beneficial in regards of helping your clients find you, being listed in leading online directories is also a tremendous advantage for your window covering business.

The benefits of having your window covering business in online directories

• Many directories rank very well with major search providers, providing more opportunities for your businesses to be found even in general searches
• Give your business a greater sense of authenticity of brick and mortar as well as an online presence
• Increase your business’ transparency and induce clients to more readily approach you by using the rating and review systems already built into popular online directories
• Better reach your target market as certain directories cater more to the specific window coverings, blinds and shutters niche
• Although your site may be relatively new and need more time to grow in relevancy for google or bing, many contractor directories have been around for a long time and already rank very well; there is no reason for your business not to take advantage of this
