Now that we have a large list of directories to which we can submit our website, let’s walk through how this process will look.

With most major directories, there’s an option to submit a link, submit a site, register a company, or some variation thereof.

Once you do this, you’ll typically be given instructions on the submission process and requirements. For example, on DMOZ you’re instructed to go to the home page, select the single best category for your website, and then hit the Suggest URL link once you’ve reached the category you believe is most appropriate.

After you click Suggest URL, you’ll have the opportunity to give details on the business itself, which will serve as your listing in the directory listing being set up.

Simply input your e-mail and you’re good to go.

Make sure that you mention your main services and products when creating your description. This is similar to the descriptions you used on the local map citations earlier.

Now just repeat a few dozen times and you’ll have mastered the directories to increase your search engine rankings.
