While the CannaBan shuts down any marketing for hemp and cannabis online, it's almost impossible to connect with your hemp and cannabis customers, or help them find you. The Green List helps you with both. Listing your business on relevant online directories drastically improves your website SEO, which helps customers find you. 

People are constantly searching Google for local businesses. There are a number of local SEO strategies to drive more targeted visitors to your website. All are important, but one of the biggest local search boosts comes from relevant local business directory listings.

SEO is a technique of optimising your visibility and trust to search engines. An online business directory is a great platform for supplementing your existing content and offer it more validation to gain the trust of different search engines like Bing and Google.

As a business operating in the Hemp and Cannabis Industry, you want your business to appear on the first page of Bing and Google. However, relying on just on-site SEO for ranking higher can be hit-and-miss. 

Overall, it is important to note that a while business directory can help you a lot, it is critical for you to provide proper details. Inaccurate and incomplete details can adversely influence your customers and your presence on the web.

Listing your business on local directories is just as important today as it was in years gone by. But don’t take our word for it. According to the experts, having consistent NAP details (Name, Address, Phone) on the best business directories is a critical local ranking factor.

Make sure your business details are correct to take full advantage of the SEO benefits. 

Australian business directories are not just for boosting local rankings, they can also provide referral traffic from people clicking through from your listing.

While many of your potential customers search Google for information on local services, inevitably a large portion of them find their way to a local business directory listing (aka “online yellow pages” sites). Many of these directories not only built to help people and search engines to find you, but they also do well in organic search rankings for important local searches. So even if business owners can’t get their site ranked high for a specific search term, your local business listings and relevant business data can appear on the local directory site that ranks for that term. Perhaps even more important is that links to your site and mentions of your business (aka “Local Citations”) can help your site rank well in both organic search as well as in the Google My Business (Google’s local listings) results.
