As I’m sure you are all aware the most important thing in any locksmith business is advertising. If nobody can find your number it dosnt matter if your the best locksmith in the world your not probably going to generate any work. We all advertise in different ways and in different places spending money on advertising we think gives us our best chance of making a good return on investment. Sometimes people sink vast amounts of money into there advertising strategys and see very little return from it. Often free listing directories can get over looked as many believe they will not be a valid source of income and will be a waste of time. In some cases this may be true but what about if you look at it another way? Most free directorys take no longer than 5 – 10 minutes to set up and if that brings you in just one job you are well and truly in pocket! I’ve compiled a list of free listing directorys with links so you can sign up to the most popular U.K. Directorys quickly and easily. Some of these directorys will offer a paid promotion listing as well but don’t worry you can just opt for the free listing part. Enjoy ?

Yelp
A very important directory which Google results seem to add a lot of weight to, Much more popular directory in the USA than the U.K. But still not one to miss out on. Allows pretty much the same details to be added as Google My Business.

It seems Yell has been around since the begging for of time and you can get a free entry on there directory site. A well known name and brand which allows business details to be submitted for free.

Facebook Business Page
Facebok business pages are free to set up and a vast amount of business information can be added completely free of charge. With a bit of work put into the page facebook can be a great way to generate extra business and should not be overlooked.
Although it dosnt allow a free business listing as such you can certainly create a free twitter account which can improve brand visability.
completley picture based website which allows you to create a free account. Again not a directory as such but can be used to raise brand awareness.
