Many businesses find the cost of developing, maintaining and marketing a website high, time consuming and involving. As such, the power of an online business directory comes into play. Online local directories such as CoastOnline.co.ke are rapidly becoming the way business are found. They provide businesses an easy solution to a massive audience for a minimal cost.
Over the years, businesses have been listing on printed directories and advertised on media such as TV, Radio and Newspapers. The challenge with this type of advertisement is that there’s no real way to measure how many people have read the ad. Another challenge is that if a business’ details such as contacts or location changes, the listing remains incorrect for the whole of the listing period.
With an online directory such as CoastOnline.co.ke, you can create a very detailed business profile, add pictures and link to a map for driving directions. This information can be updated at any time, while still being able to monitor the effectiveness of the listing.
