How a featured listing has worked for Kate Guiney, Gold Coast Marriage Celebrant
The wedding industry on the Gold Coast is big, with our beaches, resorts, golf clubs and hinterland escapes making the Gold Coast a prime destination for a perfect wedding day. The popularity of the Gold Coast coupled with high demand for wedding-related services, the industry has become highly competitive, particularly for civil marriage celebrants.
The Gold Coast Directory alone has over 70 listings in the Marriage Celebrant category, and ranks in the number 1 position in Google for Gold Coast Celebrants. Kate Guiney, wedding celebrant and member of the directory, knows all too well how difficult it is to be found in Google when there are so many others competing for the same keywords and market.
Her website couldn’t be found, and she needed an affordable solution that didn’t mean spending thousands of dollars on a new website, Yellow Pages listing or other expensive online advertising options.
Since upgrading her listing in the Gold Coast Directory for just $29 per month in October 2010, Kate has received over 40 referrals from the directory to her website, with over 400 views of her listing during this time. Not only is her listing placed above the other 70 celebrants in the directory, it also replaces Google Ads on listings in the Weddings category.
