Listing your local business on various online business directories is a legitimate and high-quality method of creating backlinks to your website that Google and other search engines like Yahoo and Bing will love you for.
Furthermore, it provides your customers, suppliers, and other business who may want to interact with you an opportunity to know more about you from unbiased sources and from any corner of the world.
As a business, these listings, especially on review sites, enable you to get first hand, raw feedback from your customers about your products and services so that you can implement changes and even respond directly to them.
