For Lawn Care Businesses

Today we are going to cover

How to list your lawn care site on

Bing And Yahoo Local listings

But First...

Here is a fact almost everyone over looks

Bing accounts for 18% of the search market

Yahoo accounts for 12% of the search market

Together Bing and Yahoo make up 30% of everyone who searches on

the Internet

Both Bing and Yahoo get overlooked

Big time

Your competitors are spending all their efforts trying to show up in

Google

This is good news for you

You have a wide open shot at getting your business

In front of 30% of your customers

With very little competition

Having said that

You are going to set up your lawn care business listing

the right way

like I will show you in a few minutes

Then move on to other things

Bing and Yahoo are not large enough

For you to actively send your customers there to leave you great

reviews

You should be using Google and Yelp for that

They simply have more eyeballs

You can't risk confusing your customers

Both Bing and Yahoo are very similar

I will point out differences as we move along

The first step is to claim your business

For Bing you can do it here:

https://www.bingplaces.com/DashBoard

For Yahoo you can do it here:

https://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/local-listings

Yahoo really wants you to pay a monthly fee for your listing

Scroll down and you can find their free listing hidden at the bottom

Use the free listing with Yahoo

Yahoo’s paid listings are difficult to track

Both sites want you to list your business information

Bing allows you to add a business description and photos

Yahoo does not with their free listing

Bing and Yahoo's biggest problem is just knowing

which locations are still in business

by claiming your listing you are letting them know

that your doors are still open

So do that first

For Bing pick these categories

For Bing pick these categories

"Professional services" "Home & Garden Services" "Landscaping" Choose the various categories

For Yahoo the only category you can pick is:

Landscaping

Most of the following only applies to Bing

Bing wants your business hours

Enter your business hours as 8:00 am to 8:00 pm

for each day you cut

Bing also wants you to write a business description

It is very similar to what we did in Yelp.

In your description you want to use these words "keywords"

They will trigger your business to show up more often:

Bing also wants to know the year your were established
