Business Directory
Metro Publisher is happy to announce the launch of a new add-on business directory.
The Metro Publisher business directory uses locations to put listings in the context of local areas, neighborhoods, points of interests or, even, related businesses. The result is a superior user experience for your readers which allows them to discover your advertisers' businesses in a way that is visual, intuitive, and effective. Your advertisers will connect to your readers with listings that feel like a reader service rather than paid advertisements. Best of all, installation takes only a single business day so your ad sales staff can be selling in no time.
Listings Highlighted in Map Search and Location Page featuring customizable Nearby function
We Started with the Basics
How do we help advertisers who pay for enhanced listings have their ads perceived as helpful to the reader? How do we turn what has previously been seen solely as an advertisement into a reader service? The answer is by making the paid listing an integral part of the search experience.
Within Metro Publisher's existing location search pages, directory listings are highlighted with an option for your readers to get an 'inside view' of your advertisers' businesses. With this inside view, your advertisers can promote themselves with video, photos and all reviews and upcoming events for that business (if there are any). The result is a rich reader experience that provides an additional opportunity for local businesses to advertise via your website in addition to display ads.
Directory listings feature video, multiple images, and link automatically to review and upcoming events.
Save Money and Start Selling
Depending on your service plan, you can add our directory for as little as $100 per month(1). As with Metro Publisher there is no sign-up fee or any upfront development costs. With this pricing, we are redefining the quality and cost of operating a successful directory. Less effective business directory providers frequently charge 10 times as much. Simply put — save money and start selling today!
