Chamber Tips
Keywords and Categories are Critical
An important factor in maximizing your exposure on the Daytona Regional Chamber's online membership directory is the strategic use of keywords and category listings. Each membership level receives an assigned number of keywords and categories. The keywords are the search terms a visitor might use to find a business while navigating our website, and should relate to or describe your business. Think about how you search online for items of interest or information, then apply that frame of reference to your business.

Category listings are the headings under which your business is listed in the directory. While most feel their business is unique, being the only business listed in a category may actually negatively impact your exposure, particularly if the business category is not common. Think of your categories as the 21st century version of the yellow pages in the phone book. You'll want to be listed where your clients can easily find you. The harder you make the search, the less likely a potential customer is to find you.
