Domain Listings Scam

Courtney Krebs • July 20, 2021

Local Businesses Being Deceived...

It has been brought to our attention here at Crossbridge Marketing & Media that there is a company that goes by the name of Domain Listings LLC that is sending out mailers in the form of a "bill". These "bills" look quite convincing and if not read very closely, leads the reader to believe that if the amount is not paid that they will be losing their domain names. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND THEY ARE BANKING ON PEOPLE NOT READING CLOSELY. All this company provides is a listing on their own website, in THEIR directory. You do not need to pay them to remain on Google or any other search engines.


The mailer reads: " This website listing offer is provided to leading websites throughout the United States  to enhance their Website exposure and expose them to new customers through our directory. We are not a Domain Registrar and we do not Register or Renew Domain Names. The listing period is for 12 consecutive months and must be renewed annually if you wish to maintain your Domain listing and keep it active on our online website directory. THIS IS NOT A BILL. THIS IS A SOLICITATION. YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO PAY THE AMOUNT STATED ABOVE UNLESS YOU ACCEPT THIS OFFER. "


The mailer looks very official and could be intimidating to some folks who may not understand just what the letter is reading. Please make sure to read anything with an unfamiliar business name attached to it or anything that seems suspicious extremely carefully. When in doubt please feel free to contact us here at the office with any questions and we would be more than happy to answer them!


If you happen to have already received one of these mailers and was deceived by them, there is hope! On their website under their Legal section they say: "Refund requests made 30 days or less after the payment is sent will receive a 100% refund. Requests made after 30 days will be at the sole discretion of Domain Listings, LLC. If the refund is approved, a pro-rated refund will be returned for the remaining time of the active service. If a request is made more than 12 months after the payment was made, no refund will be granted. The refund check will be issued and in the mail within 3 to 5 business days after processing. " So the sooner you act the better your odds of getting back your full refund!

Have you ever searched for something online using just your voice? With the rise of smart speakers, virtual assistants, and voice-activated search on our phones, voice search optimization is no longer a futuristic concept – it's a must-have for businesses that want to stay ahead of the curve. At Crossbridge, we help you optimize your website for voice search, ensuring your business is found wherever, however, and whenever your audience is searching.  Why is Voice Search Optimization Important? Voice search is changing the way people find information online. Instead of typing keywords into a search bar, people are now using natural language and conversational phrases to ask questions and find what they need. This shift in search behavior requires a new approach to SEO. Here's why voice search optimization matters: Growing Popularity: More and more people are using voice search every day. Mobile-First Indexing: Google prioritizes mobile-friendly websites, and voice search is primarily conducted on mobile devices. Featured Snippets: Voice search often pulls answers from "featured snippets" at the top of search results, making it crucial to optimize your content for these coveted spots. Local Search Dominance: Voice search is often used for "near me" searches, making local SEO even more critical. How Crossbridge Optimizes Your Website for Voice Search Our team at Crossbridge understands the significance of voice search and implements strategies to ensure your website is easily discoverable by voice assistants: Conversational Keyword Research: We identify the long-tail keywords and natural language phrases people use in voice search. Content Optimization: We create content that answers common questions and provides valuable information in a conversational tone. Schema Markup Implementation: We use schema markup to help search engines understand the context of your content, making it easier for them to deliver relevant results for voice search queries. Mobile Optimization: We ensure your website is mobile-friendly and loads quickly, which is crucial for voice search rankings. Local SEO: We optimize your Google My Business profile and other local citations to ensure your business appears in "near me" voice searches. The Future of Search is Voice-Activated Voice search is here to stay, and its influence will only continue to grow. By formulating your website for voice search optimization now, you're ensuring your business is visible to a growing audience and ready for the future of search. Ready to embrace the power of voice search?
