59 High PR Local Vape Shop Business Directories You Need To Be On

It goes without saying that listing your vape shop on local business directories helps your exposure and has the power to attract more customers.

But there’s something you should know about free online directories:

Not all directories are created equal. In fact some are a complete waste energy.

Sure, they may provide a free link back to your vape business website, but they can still cost you the most precious resource of all - TIME.

You see, some registration processes can take up to 30 minutes to work through. So does the pay-off in terms of a back link really justify the cost of your labour?

The truth is, sometimes it doesn't.

So how do you know which business directories are worth your time?

Well this is one of those, things that grows with experience. As a general rule you should only focus your efforts on listing your vape shop on high PR (page rank) directories.

What is a High PR Vape Shop Directory?

To understand the answer to this question you first need to understand what page rank is and how it works.

Wikipedia defines page rank as follows:

PageRank (PR) is an algorithm used by Google Search to rank websites in their
search engine results. PageRank is a way of measuring the importance of website pages.

According to Google:

PageRank works by counting the number and quality of links to a page to determine a rough estimate of how important the website is. The underlying assumption is that more important websites are likely to receive more links from other websites

So what does this mean for vape directories. In simple language it means the higher the PR of the vape directory the greater it's popularity.

This has two meanings for vape shop owners. First high PR vape directories appear higher in the search engines and as a result attract traffic.

Second, listing on a high PR vape directory gives you a good back link to your vape shop website. The more high PR back links you have from sites related to vaping the greater the chances you have or ranking your site high in local search.

In short if the vape directory has a low page rank it won't be getting a lot of traffic and the back link you get will be of low quality.

Also it will be almost worthless to your SEO efforts so don't waste your valuable time trying to complete registration forms on every directory on the planet because the truth is some just aren't worth the effort.

With that said, we've got you covered as we've done all the research and hard work for you to uncover the best high PR web directories for vape shop businesses.

However, before we share the list it's important to gain a little understanding of what a business directory is and why they are important for your vape business growth.

What Is A Business Directory

A business directory is an online list of businesses within a particular niche, location or category. One way local businesses can get found by online searchers is through inclusion in business directories.

So it makes sense to get your local business information into the places people are already going to find businesses like yours, rather than simply hoping they'll find you in search results.

Getting your local business' NAP (Name, Address, Phone number) information listed on directories, business listing sites, and citation sites not only helps to improve visibility, but links back from these sites can also have a benefit to SEO.

Listing your vape shop on directories ensures that you have a presence everywhere your potential customers might find you and is critical to any local marketing plan.
