Instant Business Broadcast is a marketing service that submits your business information to the most popular online directories. Unlike traditional search engines that may or may not produce relevant results, online directories organize and list directly relevant websites into categories and subcategories.
The Core Pack, Grow Essentials, and Grow Complete hosting plans include the Instant Business Broadcast Standard version, which submits your business information to the following directories:
| Google Maps | Superpages.com |
| Yahoo Local | Yellowpages.com |
| Bing.com | Yellowbook.com |
| Ask.com | Exactseek.com |
| Local.com | Target.net |
Please allow two to six weeks for your listing to appear in the above directories. Some directories will contact you via phone or mail to verify your business information. These communications will ask you to verify the information you submitted. Some directories require a valid street address, and will not publish P.O. box addresses.
