We all know that the physical YellowPages directory is barely used anymore, but what about online business directories? There’s thousands of them out there including some big brands, a lot you’ve never heard of and plenty of industry specific directories as well. Can they be a valuable source of leads or is advertising with them a waste of time and money?
In this week’s episode of the Lead Generation Podcast we’re talking with the founder of Service Crowd, Daniel Duckworth, about online business directories and whether small businesses should consider them as a lead generation source. This is the first part of our interview with Daniel, the second part will be included in our next episode where we will talk about the ‘Quote Comparison’ or ‘Get Quotes’ type of websites.
