Hi all, I have a property development company and I am just launching my UK lettings agency (rental agent) services.
I have been teaching myself SEO to try and get my website up there. My local area is a small city, most businesses have poor websites except for the national franchises which have branches, by using Moz and ahrefs the larger franchise websites seem to have paid directories which I have seen cost
£20/Month to £200 for lifetime listing with your website linked on their site.
First question, is it possible to beat out some of these websites with pure directories? eg if I spend some money of 3 or 4 of these directories? Would my money be better spent of an outreach and article writing service? (thinking long term so I'd rather pay once for the link than monthly costs dragging me down in terms of ongoing profitability)
These big national websites dominating the rankings are like this: http://www.bigfranchisecompany.co.uk/local-branch-website, does this smaller branch website benefit from ALL the other branches or is it just based on the page alone in itself? some are DA 56 and also have ads at the top, one has no ads but appears in the carousel maybe as it has 106 reviews at 4.5 stars
Any advice and tips welcome
