Having your business listed in the SLC business directory provides your business with a backlink which will help your business rank higher in Google search results. This means more people can find you! We also provide multiple opportunities to be featured in blog posts which provides your business with even more backlinks and increased exposure.
YAY! We’ll do a little happy dance because we’ll be so excited you’re joining this amazing community (aka the SLC crew). After you complete the sign up, we’ll be in touch with next steps and instructions on how you can get your listings all set up via email.
We love this part of the SLC standard & premium memberships and based on the feedback from members, this is one of their favourite parts as well. The private Instagram group (@slcmembers) is where we share all the important updates for members, provide opportunities for networking and support through ‘Follow Friday’ posts, ‘share-a-win’ and the favourite ‘Instagram Engagement Boost’ where members like and comment on each others Instagram posts, among other networking opportunities.
The private Instagram group is also where to submit their business for extra promotion opportunities.
The biggest difference between the Standard and Premium membership is that for Premium members all of their listings in the Shops, Products, Sales and Gift Ideas sections of the directory show up ahead of Standard members listings.
Premium members are given priority for consideration to be featured in our ‘Behind The Biz’ and ‘Female Founders’ blog series
We focus on driving traffic to the directory from a number of different sources: email marketing, Google ads, paid ads, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest. So if you’re only looking for an Instagram post, this isn’t the right fit for your business. We want to partner with businesses that see the value in what we’re doing as a whole.
We do so much of our marketing for SLC members on Instagram which unfortunately is really hard to track. We made the decision to promote our members on social media because it provides more value. This, however, means that our SLC members won’t have analytics on customers referred by SLC.
We do everything we can to increase exposure for your business and get potential customers to your website or Instagram account. You take it from there!
You can review your google analytics to see conversions.
We’re committed to providing the best experience for our members regardless of how it might impact SLC and our ability to track conversions. We really believe in what we do, the community we’re building and the value we provide to our members. Read some of our testimonials here.
We understand that for some people the numbers are the most important thing. We’re really happy with how are numbers are continually growing and we evaluate how things are working to improve these analytics on a daily basis.
