Freelance Designers is the number 1 freelance directory in the world!

Potential customers find services offered by our members in several ways, this is an overview of how people looking to obtain services find our members. The directory is divided into two primary areas, a local directory and a services directory.

Local Directory:

Many people search for a specific type of freelancer in their city, they may search Google for "graphic designers mesa arizona", when they search for this they will enter through one of the local directory pages like http://mesa_az.graphicdesign.freelancedesigners.com/ - This page will show listings of designers in Mesa and depending on the amount of designers may also show members in other cities in Arizona. Visitors also enter the local directory through the zip code search box located on every page of the directory.



Upgrade options for the Local Directory:

State Wide Category Listings:
These listings appear at the top of the page in every city for a single state and category. there are 5 available positions. For example, if you upgraded to position 5 Arizona for advertising, your listing would appear in yellow above the free and bold listing, and above the Google ads in every city in Arizona in the Advertising Category. These statewide listings get you maximum exposure in the local directory and run from as little as $30 for month. You can add more cities and categories at a discount from your member login page. State wide listings also appear randomly on the Primary category directory pages

Bold Local Listings:

These ads appear on one specific city and category page above the free listings and Google listings. they also appear in cities that do not have enough designers listed and randomly on national directory pages. A bold listing highlights your company and does not require a link back, listings start as low as $35 for 3 months. You can also add multiple cities and categories at a discounted rate within your member section.


Services Directory:

The services directory is organized by specific services and then narrowed down locally. There are over 120 unique services such as Cartooning, Billboard Art, Interactive Game Design, Family Portraits and many more. People find these pages in one of two ways, either by searching for a specific service in a major search engine like Google, for example "Dayton Ohio T-shirt Design". This search will bring the user into the Services Directory and list all the designers in that city and/or state that have selected "T-Shirt Design" as a service they offer. (See services in your member profile).



Upgrade Options for the Services Directory:

National Services Listings:
Each service has 5 national upgrade slots. If you purchase a national listing for "E-Commerce Websites" you will show up above all other listings in the Services Directory for E-Commerce Websites, in every city in the directory (over 30,000). Upgraded listings are ordered randomly so each person will sometimes be listed in the first position. You can purchase multiple service categories at discounted rates, just login to the members are to see prices and options.

Why Upgrade Your Listing?

Better Positioning in the Directory

Freelance Designers is made up of several sections and thousands of "local business" pages. A local business page is one category located in one specific city. Every category (such as "Graphic Designers" or "Photographers") has a unique page for every city in the United States and about 70 other countries.

Listings on "local Business" pages appear in a very specific order, first come the state-wide listings, next come bold listings for that particular city, next are Google ads. Below that are the free listings for that specific city. If there are less than 10 listings in that city, we put bold listings from other cities from that state.

This happens a lot with smaller cities, for example, if you purchased a bold listing for Chicago web design, your listing would also appear in other smaller cities in Illinois. Most smaller cities in metro areas do not have 10 listings and get filled in with other cities bold listings.

More Traffic

Bold listings get more clicks than free listings. They are always listed above free listings and even appear on other city pages within your state. With our new discount cart you can purchase several cities and categories, the more you add the bigger the discount.

Great Value

Bold listings do not require a reciprocal link to freelancedesigner.com. The first ad is only $99/year, we offer the best advertising value for designers on the web. We have over 2 million visitors a year looking to purchase services from people just like you!

And we offer multiple city and category discounts! Your second ad is 1/2 price only $49.99, and the third is only $27.99! The more you buy the bigger the discount, you can get an entire year as low as $13.99!

Better Search Engine Ranking

Free listings have a redirect link, this allows us to log each click to your website. While this does send you clients, it does not help your search engine ranking.

Bold listings use a special scripting code to track your clicks while at the same time giving you a direct link to your site. This helps your site rank higher in search engines like Google.

Many popular search engines count links to a site as a vote; the more votes you have the better your ranking. (See Google Page Rank Explained) More importantly is the relevance, the more related a site linking to you, and the better that sites ranking, the more valuable the link.

Freelance Designers is one of the largest and most popular designer directories on the Internet. We take great care to ensure our listings are accurate and high quality, which is why we are the number one freelance directory on the web.

Testimonials

I have a featured listing and currently considering add some more in other states. I barely believed the designer's testimonials but now I am sure that all they are saying is absolutely true. My business is growing in an impressive way. I use to have 4 to 5 new customers requests a month and after having my listing with you it now is 4 to 5 every week!! I'm absolutely impressed with the effectiveness of my listing, Many thanks.

After only two weeks of setting up a listing and posting the FreelanceDesigners logo on my website, I landed a new client that found my listing on your website. I didn't think anything would come from having a listing on your website, but it works! Thanks so much!
