The Connect South West directory is a catalogue of regional business websites, offers and opportunities in South West England. The region incorporates 15 unitary authorities or counties that are home to some 5 million people and over 600,000 businesses in a variety of urban and rural communities.
The idea is to make it easy and convenient for the directory user to find businesses that offer what they are looking for. By browsing the directory or searching for specific business listings, the user can get the information needed to contact the business(es) in question. By keeping transactions with regional and local businesses, our economy will be more sustainable and this means that we all benefit!
There are two ways to find information on the directory: by searching or browsing. Web directories provide links in a structured list to make browsing easier. This web directory combines searching and browsing by providing an easy to use search engine. Unlike search engines (e.g. Google, Bing, Yahoo), which base results on a database of entries gathered automatically by web crawler, this web directory is built manually by editors. This allows Connect South West to present geographically targeted search results.
Connect South West also allows site owners to submit their site for inclusion, and editors will then review submissions for fitness. Basic listings are free and consist of business name, address, phone number and website. Businesses that want to have a more detailed listing can pay a small annual premium. This enables them to add a more detailed profile, social media links, videos and much more.
The Connect South West directory is maintained by JoyROI Systems – a company based in Cornwall that works with businesses to develop online assets that generate great returns-on-investment. For more information see https://joyroivideos.com
