Why be listed in an online directory?

Successful businesses depend on existing and potential customers knowing who they are, what they do and how to contact them.

77% of Australians are now online. Consumers under 40 are more likely to choose the Internet as their first port of call for information about products and services.
Online advertising offers businesses advantages that print and broadcast media cannot provide. The information on a website can be updated as often as you like, giving you control over the information available to your customers at any time.
Online directories offer fantastic value for money compared to traditional offline directories.
Your customers are online, your competitors are online – why wouldn’t you be online?
What is PointBis?
PointBis is a network of nine interactive online directories.
Most generic directories force businesses and services into categories that may or may not suit the business and lists clients alphabetically – disadvantaging those businesses at the tail end of the alphabet.

PointBis has employed sophisticated GPS technology to list businesses according to the geographical proximity to their customers’ door giving clear benefit for location based sourcing.
PointBis focuses only on 9 logical and obvious industries for all products and services in motoring, housing, holiday, medical, finance, business, legal, education and jobs. PointBis is the only directory in Australia that covers the complete spectrum of products and services offered by businesses in each of these essential industries.

PointBis uses the Internet to complement standard methods of advertising. This helps businesses work smarter by giving your customers and prospects access to our comprehensive database.

Our aim is to get people through your door – then back again for more!
