Think business directories and citations are dead? Think again.

In this episode of The Marketing Podcast for Local Businesses, Adam and Josh reveal one of the fastest, easiest, and most overlooked SEO wins in 2025: getting your business listed in high-authority directories.

✅ How to find powerful, underused directories your competitors are on
✅ The biggest directory mistakes to avoid (and how to fix them)
