And at less than 70 cents a day with no ongoing contract, it’s painless to test and easy to get started.
When we surveyed 1,300 of you in 2010, you told us that maintaining a stream of customers is your single biggest challenge, and that word-of-mouth and online networking are your top two ways of generating leads.
That’s why we’ve introduced profile membership of our new business directory.
Judging by the number of you who have added a free listing to the directory, the benefit of being listed in a database that’s searchable by industry, keyword and location is a given.
But to stop there is to miss out on a stack of extra benefits including a personalised URL, the ability to add testimonials and priority listing.

Exposure across Flying Solo AND on search engines
Flying Solo has over 300,000 page views and 60,000+ unique visitors each month*, so you get great exposure to a targeted audience.
Through the searchable directory and links throughout the site, we make sure our profile members are super easy to find…and not just on Flying Solo.
*Flying Solo is independently audited by the Audit Bureau of Australia (ABA) ensuring website traffic figures are accurate, transparent and compliant with industry measurement rules.

Google loves us…and you benefit!
Thanks to over 12,000 pages of search engine optimised content, daily publishing and a PR6 (page rank) status, Google loves Flying Solo. To ensure ‘profile members’ get optimum benefit we’ve enabled search engine indexed backlinks and included a unique url (web address) within the package.
Jargon aside, you'll enjoy increased exposure within Flying Solo and most likely an improved Google ranking for your existing business website.
Why a directory listing on Flying Solo is a no-brainer
Our recent survey proves that small businesses work closely with other small businesses. Look around, who do you work with?
Directory members get a chance to ‘work’ their listing through our unique set up whereby any comment you make on a Flying Solo article links straight back to your listing.
So every time you share your knowledge and expose your personality, you increase the likelihood of creating a lead, or triggering word-of-mouth.
