BrightWay Local Search Listing Program

What We Do

For a one-time fee of $249 we do the following:

1. Create a Google account for your business (if you don’t already have one)
2. We create a Google ad for your business.  We pick the business categories, write a brief description of your business that is search friendly and enticing.  (We are allowed only 256 characters so this takes some thought).  We add an offer (aka coupon) and 1 or 2 small photos.  You send us the photos and we make it the right size and ready for web.
3. We create an ad in the Yahoo business directory.  Yahoo doesn’t allow us to do much except list your business.  We fill in their form and provide the link to your website, which will tell the rest of the story.
4. Create a Bing account.  If you have a windows id or hotmail account we can use that.

How it Works

1. You provide us the following details about your business (which are required to run the ads) by completing the attached form (Local Search Customer Form)
2. You provide payment (we accept Visa, MC, Amex, Discover, check or cash)
3. We create the ads
4. Each vendor (Google, Yahoo and Bing) will contact you phone or mail to verify your listing.  The faster you verify (phone recommended) the faster your listing gets published.
5. We give you a document with all the information you need to login and update your listing.  Note: keeping these fresh and keeping your website fresh result in higher rankings.

Now that you are listed, you have a MUCH better chance of getting found when people search for what you sell locally!
