Search engines and directories like Google and Yahoo are Global listings.
Ø Does the person searching in New York for an oil change increase the profit of the Oklahoma City garage? Not at all.
Ø So what does a #1 ranking do for you there? Nothing because a #1 ranking is impossible for the local or family business owner.
Ø Do Google and Yahoo offer a “Link Exchange” to increase your rankings? No. They don’t need you at all, they are the root.
Ø Do they offer TV and Radio advertising to promote their members? They don’t care enough about your business to bother.
With 405 Metro you will get the exposure you want and need to provide your services to the community. We have a Search Engine as well as a category (and sub-category) based directory. The search features are very exact eliminating what you are not looking for. If you are searching for child care, you type in “child care” and you will get ONLY providers of child care, not a list of organizations or a definition (Google it and see what you get). You will get the entire list of child care providers who are looking for your business.
We have taken it even further, to where you can browse by category or even sub-category. With options to narrow your search, and waste less of your time, you will also find what you’re looking for. If you are looking for windshield repair, you select the category of “Automotive Services”. Then look for a sub-category “Window Repair”, it will then list members who provide that service. It is just that simple for you to seek and be found in the 405 Metro Community Engine.

These accounts are all setup and maintained by the 405 Metro webmaster. You will have the direct contact information for this individual. There is no toll free number directed to a call center, you may have to leave a voicemail and be called back. But know you will be called back as soon as it is possible within a few hours. However, there will not be many issues with the services we provide you. There is no need for a call center full of people somewhere who are just a wall to keep you from the people who are spending your money! We are members of your community as well.
All you need to do is supply the information desired for your listing. We will come and take pictures (if needed) saving you additional time and effort.
Gold, Platinum & Platinum Plus accounts:
These accounts are for members who already
have existing and live websites of their own. 405 Metro only controls the

descriptions that already exist in your websites Meta tags. You may request
webmaster services to create a link page or create/edit Meta description and/or
Keywords with the proper FTP access provided for your website. When your listing is created, your website
will be crawled and indexed before it is made visible in the 405 Metro
Directory. Once indexed the information
in your Meta tags are made searchable by your description and keywords. 405
Metro is not responsible for incorrect listings due to incorrect tags.
Custom accounts:
If you don’t already have a website, now is
the time to take that next step forward. The custom package is designed for
members who currently do not have a website, but want to get the best possible
exposure that 405 Metro will provide. This includes the “Platinum” package
options as well as Domain name, Hosting and a Custom Website for your business.
You will also get a temporary sub domain to begin your listing and exposure
while your new website is being created. Please, request a quote for custom website development.
