well I am no going to put some effort into marketing the site..... http://www.statelicensedcontractorscalifornia.com/ setting up the site only a small part of the game..need to bring the traffic... by the way..any suggestions of the best way to SEO the site ?
First off, without sounding too critical...take a look at your blog section. The articles are scraped from other sources and the comments are plagued with spam...not good at all for SEO. In the directory part of the site, you will somehow need to start populating it manually before you will get any search results. I think the site is a good idea, but you can't rely on user submitted business listings until there is a decent amount of businesses listed. I run a community portal for our trade area...the business directory was populated manually before we launched the site...now, user submission is our main source for new business listings...(it takes time) I think with some effort, you can have a good thing going...all the best!
