Benefits of listing on MayoFree.com

One of the main benefits of advertising on the internet is that it is available to access 24 hours a day, every day, all year. Visitors can find out about your business even when you are not working, in the evenings or at the weekends.

An advert in a newspaper is a one shot deal, for the one time that it is printed and distributed, and relies on the fact that the reader might want what you are offering at that particular time. For example, selling fur coats in a summer heatwave might not produce a very good response.

Directories like the Golden Pages are much better, but it costs so much to have a decent sized advert and you can't say very much in it anyway, and these things can outweigh the response that you get from them.

On the web though, space isn't too much of a problem, you can say as much as you like and really sell your business. It reaches the people that are actually looking for your services, either by browsing the web or specifically searching for the terms and phrases in Google like 'Baling Contractor Mayo' etc.

If this was free, wouldn't everyone be doing it?

What can I do with my listing?

The directory facility is really quite well featured, and means that you can do just about anything you might need to do with a simple web page. Take a look at the listing of Infiniti Mixed Media as an example.

• You can add your business name, which is up to 35 characters
• You can add a contact person, and their position in the busines, so your customers know who they are dealing with.
• You can add an address, so that you can be contacted by post, and visitors have a good idea where you are based in Mayo.
• You can add a telephone number, so customers can contact you on a landline.
• You can add a fax number, enter the same number again if you use the same line.
• You can add a mobile number, so customers can contact you when you are away from your premises.
• You can add an email address, so customers can contact you out of hours. This is also a requirement when listing to prevent your business being misrepresented in the directory without your permission.
• You can add a link to your website, to enhance and increase traffic to your main site.
• You can add a logo, to identify your business and make your listing stand out. The logo size displayed is maximum of 200 pixels wide and 80 pixels deep. The file size uploaded should not exceed 300kb.
• You can add an image. To illustrate your business and make your listing page more interesting. The image size displayed is maximum of 300 pixels wide and 600 pixels deep. The file size uploaded should not exceed 300kb, so you can't just upload an image straight from your digital camera. It will first need to be adjusted using an image editor like Photoshop™ or GIMP (free software).
• You can add a map, just by entering GPS coordinates. This means customers can also find your premises by using this data on their Satellite Navigation system.
• You can add an unlimited amount of text. Write as much as you like to describe your business, the more information you provide, the better it will work.
• You can add your entry in up to 5 different categories. We know that most businesses don't fit neatly into one category, so we have made it so that your listing can appear in multiple areas, making sure the visitor finds what they are looking for.

This is more than you can do with other websites that actually charge you for the service!
