The Directory is a great way to get leads for your home staging business and it saves you the hundreds of hours, and thousands of dollars, it costs to build your own web site and drive traffic to it on a daily basis!
When homeowners, real estate agents and even the media are looking for home stagers, they visit stagingdiva.com and click on "Find a Home Stager," which takes them right to the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers! It's THE place to get found by people actively looking for you!
Plus, the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers is featured in media articles and is linked from major high traffic websites like CNNMoney.com. How long would it take you to get coverage and links like that on your own?
Homeowners and real estate agents have trouble finding local stagers
If business can't find you, you won't have a business! We make sure business finds you.
Because of our many home staging related websites and the international recognition of the Staging Diva brand, we get tons of traffic to the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers.
Plus in a typical week we get 5 to 10 email and phone requests to recommend home stagers, house fluffers or real estate enhancers in a particular market. If you're a member of the Staging Diva Directory, we send these leads to you at no charge by directing the prospect right to your listing in the Directory.
Comprehensive listing to generate sales for you
Your listing (also called a Profile Page) in the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers is comprehensive enough that you don't need to build your own web site.
Your Profile Page in the Directory includes your: logo, company name, photo, lots of space to explain why you're the person to hire, plus enough before and after photos to really call it a portfolio.
Your "contact box" has all the information on where to find you, what cities or neighborhoods you serve (and a link to your own website if you have one).
Your Directory listing is linked from up to 10 locations of your choice plus up to 4 states or provinces and your country.
The Directory includes links to other articles about how and why home staging works. That way you can use your Profile Page to focus on showcasing your company and bringing attention to your expertise.

The Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers gives you space to really promote your company.
PLUS Get a FREE brochure for your company!
 
When you commit to joining the directory for a full year, we'll also design a brochure for your company for FREE!
This brochure is based on your Profile and includes all your before and after shots and your copy which we will professionally edit to fit onto your double-sided brochure. You can print and photocopy this brochure for your own use, for example, hand it out at meetings and presentations.
| We'll add a download button to your profile page so that potential customers can download your brochure right from your listing! |
This button appears on your Profile Page so visitors can grab your brochure!
|
This FREE BENEFIT is worth hundreds of dollars and it's all done for you when you're a member of the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers. Note your brochure will be created for you right after you're billed for your first year of hosting. This happens one month after first joining the Directory!
What if I have my own web site?
Your best way to get traffic to your own web site is to have a high-traffic site link to it, because it helps you with the all important search engine rankings.
If you build a new site on your own, it can take 3 to 6 months for search engines to find you. Because you're linked from the Staging Diva Directory this can happen in a matter of weeks, because search engines already visit this site and then follow the links to "crawl" the sites we link to!
Once you have a page in the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers, we'll link that page to your site if you also link back to us.
Since we provide considerable content about the field of home staging, house fluffing and real estate enhancement, we'll help educate your prospect about why they need YOU!
You will also be adding to your own credibility by being associated with Staging Diva, an internationally recognized and respected brand in the field of home staging.
Staging Diva Graduates who have a complete website already, that includes a portfolio and is not hosted as part of another directory or website, can consider a less comprehensive Mini Listing in the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers for a reduced cost.
What if there is already a listing in my area?
You couldn't possibly stage every house for sale in your geographic area so don't worry if there's already one or more stagers listed in a location you plan to serve.
When visitors do a search for your location, your profile as well as anyone else in that location will come up in the search results.

Quick Facts
|
- The Directory gives you an entire page to profile your home staging business on a high traffic web site.
- You provide the text and photos— we do the rest.
- We build your page, set up your links and "meta tags" to help homeowners find you in search engines. (If you don't know what a meta tag is, that's a good reason to let us build your page instead of you trying to build your own site and then wondering why search engines don't find you.)
- We create a custom brochure for your company that you can print and distribute, plus we add a download link for it from your Directory Profile, so visitors can have it too!
- We "optimize" your photos so they load quickly when someone visits your page.
- We teach you how to direct your real domain name to your address in the directory. That way you can include "www.yourcompany.com" in your marketing right away without having to build your own website.
- Unlike other directories, you maintain ownership and control over your own domain. This is critical in case you ever want to build your own site.
- You'll exponentially increase your chances of getting coverage in the media because reporters find Debra Gould and then look to her Graduates for additional sources for their stories.
- You benefit from any media exposure Staging Diva generates for the Directory plus any advertising we pay for to benefit all members.
- As a Directory member, you'll get FREE project referrals.
- When you do build your own site, your page in The Staging Diva Directory will be linked to it. This dramatically boosts the chance of a new client finding you. And, it ensures that your new website will be "crawled" by search engines quickly (without the link from the Staging Diva Directory it can take 3 to 6 months for Google to find your new site!).
- You must be a Graduate of The Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program to participate.
- If you get a single staging project out of your listing, it will more than pay for your listing for the entire year and likely all your training too.
- For a limited time, for only $395 we'll set up your page, write all the code for search engines and build all the links to your page.
- Hosting your page in the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers costs only $45/month— less than a Yellow Pages ad!
- For a limited time only, we'll give you THREE FREE MONTHS when you commit to a whole year! That's a 25% savings!

The sooner you join the Directory, the closer to the top your listing appears for all the locations you serve.
But don't worry, no matter where you are on the list, visitors will look at your profile and then decide who they will contact for more information. You can't possibly stage every home in your market so don't fear "competition."
As a member of the Directory of Home Stagers, you benefit from media coverage
Many companies make the mistake of thinking that as long as they build a web site people will visit. This is not the case!
Most people find a web site by doing a search using terms that describe what they're looking for, or because they've heard about a company in the media.

Cost for a Profile Page in The Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers

• Page set up and linking fee - this covers our time to set up your page, retouch your photos, input photos and text, build links and create meta tags.

We require 7 days to build your page from when you submit all your materials, which is why there is a delay before we bill you for hosting.

You can update photos/captions at any time for the nominal fee of $75 (for up to 7 photos, includes retouching) and replace all your copy for $125.
