Our Vancouver Search Engine & Directory Submission Services

Once the first steps of your Vancouver web marketing strategy have been implemented, our Vancouver web marketing team begins submitting your web site to local, regional and international search engines and directories.

And yes, there is a difference between search engines and directories.

» What Are Search Engines?

Search engines are large databases of listings for web pages, web sites & online media. These listings are able to be found based on search criteria the search engine visitor inputs and an algorithm used by that search engine to determine a web site's relevancy rating.

Search engines typically use an online software program, often referred to as a "spider", to scan web sites and their respective web pages for common occurences of targeted key words and/or key phrases. This information is then periodically archived & cross-referenced routinely as visitors conduct their searches on the search engine web site.

MSN and Google are both good examples of mainstream search engines.

» What Are Directories?

Directories are similar in application, but differ in that real human beings actually review the website you've submitted. Different directories may have varied requirements in order to be listed in their web directory. For instance, you may need to be involved in a particular industry or have an office located in a certain region in order to be listed on a local business directory.

Directories also offer their visitors the option of looking for a specific topic, product or service through categorized listings found under various catalogue headers such as Automotive, Business, Financial Services, Travel, etc. Listings may also appear under several directory sub-categories such as 'Travel - Ground' or 'Business - Vancouver - Transportation', depending on content relevancy.

Yahoo! Directory and Open Directory Project (ODP) are good examples of mainstream directories.
