Local Directory Vs. Region Directory
Hello,
I am kalwin.
While targeting local region we submit our site in local directory. As we all know that finding any local directory is so tedious task so I am thinking that if we submit in regional directory, will it give me same result.

For Example:
I am targeting Atlanta,
For that I am looking for Atlanta local directory.

But if we submit our directory in
Regional > North America > Georgia > Atlanta

Will both give me same result? I am dam sure about the first one is effective but for the second one I am not sure.
So please give your suggestions.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciate.

Atlanta local directory will have more weight towards ranking for region specific searches.

Regional > North America > Georgia > Atlanta will have less weight because the directory is not so regionally focused, but it may help a little.

It is usually easier to get region specific rankings by including an address and postcode on your site and submitting your site to Google maps / Google Local Business Centre.

re: "...but it consume more time to move it to top 10..."

welcome to SEO !

I am worried tho in that you also indicated that you "have clients..." and I wonder what kind of serps you're providing for them....I suspect judging by both your post and premises....not much!

Read our stickies here. Read the links in many of our long-time members sigs. Digest and learn. Test. Re-test...and grow....and THEN your clients might be getting their
$$$ worth....

:-)

Jim
