It took me more over a year that just joining traditional bureaus and associations would not alone help he grow my business to where it deserved to be. What I realized is that there are a variety of keywords that meeting and event planners use to search for professional speakers... and you better be using them if you plan to grow you business.
Ask yourself, if you were a meeting planner and found yourself in a situation where your original speaker got sick or had a family emergency and could not make the planned event, what words or phrases would you use to find an emergency speaker to help save your event?
If you were planning a local event in your area, what words and phrases would you use to find a local speaker?
If money was tight and you needed an inexpensive or affordable speaker, how would you go about searching for someone that could fit your tight budget?
Here's the reality of the situation. Event / meeting planners, Chambers of Commerce, Associations, and others use keywords like Emergency Speakers, Local Speakers, Affordable Speakers, and topic keywords like Financial Speakers to find high quality professionals like you. So does your personal website or a directory you are a part of show up on the first page of those keyword results? Also, does your picture or info from a bureau or association show up under those keyword results?
Here is what we are doing and what you can be a part of. We are building a series of directories for professional public speakers to increase your credibility, web exposure, and business results. We have built two websites and are in the process of building several more sites under keyword names and phrases to get you top page rank for some of the most descriptive and important search engine keywords.

Our near term build outs will include:
