Nicelocal is a directory website that ranks high on Google. We get millions of visitors every month because Nicelocal appears on the first page of search results for keywords related to local businesses, products and services. That’s how you must have ended up on this website. So naturally, if you have a listing on Nicelocal, you’ll get access to the customer traffic that searches on Google and lands on Nicelocal. And if you subscribe to any of our plans, your listing will be placed on top of Nicelocal’s directory in your business category, so you’ll be the guaranteed first thing potential customers will see.

You can manage your promotion from your business account interface. We will send you login and password for your account right after payment. Then you will have to claim access to an existing listing or create a new one. Once you’re done with that, you’ll be able to manage your listing in the business account. Go to the «Subscriptions» section of the interface, and you’ll be able to cancel your subscription or choose a new plan that suits you better.

We will create a Google Maps account for you, and if you already have one, we’ll ask for your access credentials. Then we will update your Google Maps account with content and information that will optimize search and drive more traffic to your Google Maps page for relevant keywords. Consider this an outsourcing — we have great expertise in search engine optimization, that includes regular search (and we leverage this expertise for leading lots of traffic to Nicelocal website) and geo search.

In short, your ranking is defined by how much content you have on the listing and whether you are a free or a paid client. The exact variables are: your rating (average score and amount of ratings), number of reviews and share of responded reviews, the amount of content on your page, and whether you have a subscription. There are 3 levers to increase your ranking. The first one is actively managing your listing: posting regular content updates, responding to reviews and disputing unjust reviews. The second is choosing a subscription plan for your needs: if you want only top placement in the directory, you’ll do great with Fast Start. However, if you want a highlighted listing on top of that, Premium will suit you better. The third lever lies in analytics: our business account tools visualize your customer funnel on Nicelocal, so you can see how many impressions your listing had, how many people actually went to your listing, and how many of them looked your phone number up. This can give you a hint on where to improve, and our Customer Success Managers will be happy to help you put analytical insights into action.

You can do that yourself in the «Subscriptions» section of your business account or write an email to your Customer Success Manager with a cancellation request.
