Nice work Ryan. Very interesting results.

Oh my gosh look at Yellowpages.com. This list has so much value and if others don’t take advantage of what this post is offering… I just don’t have the words.

Hope you don’t mind Ryan, but you’ll probably be seeing some traffic from ATT first of the week…

All florists should consider this when they work their online marketing budgets. Also every florist should show this article to their YP.com rep and ask for a discount.

Great job!

@Cathy

I agree – as I said in the Summary, most florist directories will perform better in lower competition areas.

Locate A Flower Shop does appear to be the clear winner; I think their annual rate is cheaper than one month of YP advertising – but I am willing to be corrected on that by anyone who has better cost figures.

Wow! The addition of the IYPs is a real eye-opener. Hope every florists sees this lists (especially those in major cities) and takes a good look at their allocation of resources. Locateaflowershop.com is a true bargain.

One other quick note: Some of the florist directories have more listings in mid-size or smaller towns and would likely show better there and with Direct2Florist, they only would appear for cities where they have members. I believe their keyword targets are also more long tail.

Hope some florists chime in with smaller towns to query.
