BLOX Business DIrectory

Local media's turnkey, all-in-one digital marketplace

BLOX Business Directory bundles everything you need to create a high traffic local business resource that advertisers—and users—will flock to.

Make your site a one-stop source for business news and information in your community.

BLOX Business DIrectory Solution

BLOX Business Directory includes most businesses nationwide—our database boasts more than 18 million listings—and adding more is easy.

Businesses can manage their own pages, you can do it for them, or you can take advantage of our simple and cost effective automated fulfillment services.

Our experts make sure that business pages meet up-to-date SEO best practices, so your advertisers' listings are highly competitive for their targeted, realistic search terms.

Automated business enhancements

Let us deal with the hassle of tracking down detailed business information like logos, store hours, social media links, keywords, descriptions and more.

Easy small business Storefronts

Small businesses often lack the time, funds, and expertise to create an effective presence online. Our turnkey Storefront option gives business pages custom logos, mastheads, colors, navigation and vanity URLs—creating the look and feel of a modern, SEO-friendly website.

Agency in a box

Offer small businesses an experience that goes far beyond a basic directory listing. Our digital marketing experts can post to Facebook and Google on your advertisers’ behalf, make monthly updates to BLOX Business Directory listings, create and promote native ads, and even design and maintain complete, mobile-friendly websites.

Automatic print ad conversion

Make your print display ads do double duty! SearchBoost converts your print ads into SEO-friendly online ads. We auto-extract the text and associate ads with their matching BLOX Business Directory listings. You get a lucrative, hassle-free upsell, and your advertisers benefit from prized promotion on their trusted local news site.

Built for a mobile world

Your advertisers and their customers are always on the go. With BLOX Business Directory, your advertisers’ pages are mobile-friendly, delivering the same great features and upsells on smartphones, tablets, and desktops.

Fast return on your investment

BLOX Business Directory delivers real, turnkey ROI. Depending on your chosen package rates, it may only take a single monthly upsell, or a couple of ads to start turning a profit.
