How to Improve Your Listing’s Visibility

Improving your listing’s visibility on LocalZ helps you attract more potential customers and increase engagement. Every listing on the platform must be claimed or created by an authorized business — there are no free or passive listings. Once a listing is active, it becomes a Standard Listing, and includes SEO support to help you shine outside the LocalZ platform.

Only claimed listings are eligible to appear in searches, on the map, and in promotions. Unclaimed listings are limited to business name and address and do not offer contact options or profile customization.

When a listing is claimed or created, it becomes a Standard Listing and unlocks:

• Full profile management

• Directory visibility

• Access to upgrades

• A custom SEO content benefit provided by the LocalZ SEO Team

2. Complete the SEO Questionnaire

After your listing is claimed or created, you’ll receive a questionnaire from the LocalZ team. This form is designed to gather key information about your business — what you do and where you do it.

The SEO Team uses your responses to write professionally optimized content that:

• Describes your services clearly and accurately

• Includes relevant keywords based on your location and category

• Can help improve your visibility in external search engines like Google

Note: This SEO content does not influence your ranking within the LocalZ platform, but it enhances your profile’s overall web presence.

3. Fully Complete Your Profile

Searchable listings perform better when they are complete. Make sure you include:

• Logo and banner image

• Business description (250–400 words recommended)

• Business hours

• Up to 10 categories

• Unlimited tags

• Contact information

• Website, social media links, and optional video

4. Use Accurate Categories and Strong Tags

Choose categories that reflect your actual services. Use tags that match what customers might search for, such as:

• “window replacement”

• “licensed massage therapist”

• “24-hour locksmith in Tampa”

5. Keep Your Profile Active

Stay visible by updating your profile regularly. Add new photos, revise your service areas, or highlight seasonal promotions to show that your business is engaged and current.

6. Upgrade for More Exposure

If you want even more visibility:

• Use Featured Listings for top organic placement and a professional badge

• Use Sponsored Listings for premium ad placement in search results

• Use Paid Ads for brand exposure across homepage, category pages, and more

Next Steps

Make sure your listing is claimed, your questionnaire is submitted, and your profile is complete.
