Get your dealership website listed these main online business directories.

Do yourself a favor and take the time and the small amount of money to get your dealers business information and dealers website listed in these top business directories (especially if you are publishing a new website with a new URL). It can help prevent your website from being sandboxed in the beginning and can help with your overall dealerships website (SEO) search engine indexing.

This is considered high-quality link and is very good for your overall link popularity or Page Rank, which is an influential factor when it comes to ranking in the search egines.
 
Yes, Greg is right. There are several directories for car dealers. I actually have all the ones that I know about listed under "Automotive Directories" right here on DealerRefresh. Most of these sites allow you to list your dealer and URL at not cost. Thanks for the reminder Greg. -Jeff
