Kent Business Directory Launches with Free Listings for All Local Businesses

A newly launched business directory website for Kent, Kent Business Directory, is offering free listings to all local businesses.

Kent Business Directory currently has details of over 74,000 businesses from across Kent listed on the website, which is aimed at local consumers looking for local businesses, products and services. Kent businesses can add their own listing in their chosen business category absolutely free of charge.

The Kent Business Directory has also been created to give businesses in Kent all the tools they need to increase their online and offline visibility, and help drive local customers to their door.

For example businesses can upgrade their free entry to a 'Premium Listing' and actively promote their products and services to potential customers by appearing above free entries on the site. A business with a Premium Listing can also add:

• Additional telephone numbers
• Website addresses and weblinks
• A company logo
• A detailed description of products and services
• Email addresses
• Recommendations from customers
• Google Map and route finder
• Online enquiry form
• Up to 6 company images/photos
• A promotional video (example - YouTube)

In addition to the online advertising, businesses can also appear in a series of full colour printed offline directories. Kent Business Directory regularly prints and distributes 10,000 copies of its offline directory to homes and businesses in Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury, Medway, Tunbridge Wells and Whitstable.

The site has many other features for both the consumer and business user including a Kent Business Forum, details of the latest job vacancies in Kent, networking events in Kent, properties for sale in Kent, a ‘recommend a business’ tool, members special offers, a ‘what's on’ in Kent guide, attractions in Kent, local news and local weather.

Kent businesses can add their listing or update their current listing for free and also see all the other features of the site at KentBusinessDirectory.co.uk. Business advertisers can also upgrade to a Premium Listing for just £30 per year, which is the equivalent of just £2.50 per month.

Kent Business Directory is also pleased to announce that it has just made the Kent Air Ambulance it’s ‘Charity of the Year’. For every business that upgrades their free listing to a Premium Listing, £1 will be donated to this essential local charity.
