Ask HN: Best services\apps where businesses can have a public presence

1 pointsmypresences10y ago6 comments

Hi HN ... I am looking for promising sites and apps (whether they are established or just starting out) that allows a business to have a public presence, usually a page dedicated to that business with information, ratings, reviews, photos etc. It can be open to all businesses or just particular niches (doctors, real estate, restaurants, hotels, startups, software companies etc).

I am not interested in sites where they have just purchased a $49 directory theme and added some data (unless they have gained decent traffic) but quality products that look good, work well and have a future.

There are some really impressive projects out there and most small business owners would not know that they are either listed there or there is an opportunity to promote their business (usually for free). Also they need to make sure their information is accurate and complete and the presence promotes their business in the best way possible.

I am looking to promote these services to business owners to help them build and manage their overall online presence & reputation .. there is no cost to be included.

we already include over 700 services and apps worldwide listed at: https://www.mypresences.com/services/

So if you know of or have a great app or site not listed I would love to know more.

Thanks.

How do you reach small business owners to market to them?

hi ... we promote the services to the businesses that signup to our platform. We provide online presence and reputation management .. so if a restaurant in LA signs up we will suggest a list of services where they can have a presence based on their industry and location. The user can then see more about these services and filter and sort them to decide on where they should list their business. We then help them manage and build their presence there.

The aim is to help them discover some really great services they were not aware of before or even discover services where they have a presence but they where not aware of it.

We get business onto our platform via advertising, trade shows, word of mouth etc and that gives exposure to the services we list targeted directly to the type of business that would list there.

I tried to create a test account but I can't add a presence. I put the link in the box and submit but nothing happens.
