When you built your website, you likely created it with your users in mind, trying to make it easy for them to find and explore your content. One of those users is a search engine, which helps people discover your content. SEO—short for search engine optimization—is about helping search engines understand your content, and helping users find your site and make a decision about whether they should visit your site through a search engine. Membership with your local chamber of commerce is a key way to boost your website in search results. Here’s how:
When you join Greater Rochester Chamber, you’re automatically added to our member directory of over 1,300 local businesses. Your directory listing includes a high-authority backlink that boosts search rankings, visibility, and trust. Our website ranks highly across Greater Rochester and nationwide, and your site rises with us when we link to it.
By linking back to our site on your own website, you get even more benefits with one simple addition. Display our free Proud Member decal to strengthen SEO and improve Google rankings locally and around the country. Just add the link to your site once and let Google do the rest.
It’s not just search engines that think membership adds credibility and authority. 64% of adults familiar with their local chamber are more likely to buy from and 63% are more likely to recommend businesses they know are members. When customers see your directory listing in search results, your brand is linked to purpose, progress, and a community that cares about impact. (Data Source: ACCE)
