Advertising Options

National Directory is an Australian based business directory.

We offer Australian businesses the opportunity to create either a Basic Listing or a Standard Listing.

The options differ according to what is included as well as preference within search results and exposure on other pages within the website including Latest Listings.

The Basic Listing ($39.00 includes GST, once off, no annual fee)

This option is good as NAP citation for your business. NAP stands for Name, Address, and Phone Number. It's a critical factor in local Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and influences which companies Google and other search engines show for local intent searches. People often refer to occurrences of NAP data around the web as citations.

The Standard Listing ($49.00 includes GST, once off, no annual fee)

This Listing allows you to publish more unique content about your business which is also good for SEO purposes.

You can also create and publish UNLIMITED blog posts. We normally offer this as a stand alone product for $15 each article.

Managed Listing ($99.00 includes GST, once off, no annual fee) - Please Email

The Managed Listing is ideal for businesses that don’t want to create and maintain another account and who are time poor.

This includes EVERYTHING the Standard Listing has with the main difference being that we will create and maintain the business listing for you.

All you have to do is decide what pages from the following you want on your listing and EMAIL us the content and any logos and images you want displayed.

The standard pages are:

  • · Home
  • · About Us
  • · Our Services
  • · Contact Us
  • · Blog
  • · Gallery

However, the names of these pages can be customized, e.g. you may change “Our Services” to the name of your Product or Service. For Example, you could change “Our Services” to “Pest Control Melbourne”.

Another benefit of a Managed Listing is that anytime there is a change in your business details such as an address change or a new phone number, you can simply email us the incorrect information, and we will update the listing for you.

The Managed Listing also includes us publishing one Blog Article (appears on your Listing page) per month. You just need to email us as a Google Word doc the article and we will publish it for you. Within 24 hours we will also submit the article page for Google indexing.

Please see the following example of a Basic Listing:
