Website Backlinks
Quality website backlinks will give your website more trust among the current billion plus websites, so getting your business listed online and keeping your local directory pages current is important. Using trusted online business directories in Ireland is one option and as we are one of the fastest growing business directories in Ireland we would recommend registering today.
Also submit to other reputable business directories as there are quite a few Irish directories, some are paid and others are free with the paid directories usually monitored and updated regularly. Free web directories can be less active and may be not updated for weeks if not months. Links are still one of the highest ranking signals for local businesses in Google. Every individual Irish business directory that you submit to is another chance to get found online, so it’s important to make sure you’re listed properly in every directory possible.
