Use Top Listing

Your Better Business Bureau has partnered with Google to create “Top Listing,” a new program using keywords that will position lists of BBB Accredited Businesses at or very near the top of Google search results. And you have the opportunity to put your company at the top of the BBB category list.

How it works: A potential client types in Plumbers in the Google search banner. Through our partnership with Google, their search engine will know automatically that you want plumbing companies in your immediate geographical area.

In the top five of the organic search results will be a link that says “Plumbers: Click here to find an Accredited Plumber in your area.” Clicking on that link will take you to the roster of BBB accredited businesses in the plumbing industry. By joining “Top Listing” your name will appear at the top of that roster listing in a bold, blue banner. So even if your company name starts with a Z, you can be one of the first names that potential clients in your market area see.





There will be a limit of 10 banners per industry roster and they will rotate each time the page is open. Because this is a nationwide BBB partnership with Google, the internet pricing for Top Listing is shared by many which means a lot of internet presence at exceptional values. Contact Christie Smith at 559.256.6334 or christie@cencal.bbb.org for more information.
