Business Directory Listings
Business Directory Listings are online references for your business which list your Business Name, Address, Email Address and Phone Number. The more consistent and relevant the listings or citations you have across the web, the more visible your business is when creditors or bureaus perform a search to verify your business. We list your business in 20 of the top nation-wide directories. Increase your chances of easy approvals. Separate yourself from the competition. USA specific, media rich citations for both local and national businesses. We add verifiable credibility to your business credit-worthiness by listing your business details.
Social Profiles Set Up
The most important social media profiles for businesses are arguably LinkedIn and a Facebook Business Page. If needed by the customer, we set up these accounts with logo and header graphics, 3 posts, a video and correct business information. The Premium account also includes three additional social profiles, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. So, no matter where in social media lenders or creditors search for your business, they’ll find complete accurate information for your business.
Professional Email Addresses
Your professional business email addresses need to be created on your domain name for your business, not just a free email platform. D&B and other bureaus and lenders don’t want to see a business email on Gmail or Yahoo, for example. Instead, they expect to see your email addresses customized with your own professional domain name. Your Passport Premium account includes 3 separate professional email addresses and inboxes with IMAP and webmail.
DIY Site Builder
Professional do-it-yourself website builder for your business, allows you to easily make your own website or landing page, should you choose to build your site yourself rather than have our team do it for you. Start from dozens of templates or build your own from scratch. This solution is a better fit for clients who have a little experience with creating websites. If you want a landing page or site in addition to your PassportSiteTM our DIY Site Builder will help you create what you need without having to hire a designer.

Google Business Profile
A Google Business Profile gives business owners targeted exposure on the world’s most trusted search engine, Google. Because this is often the first thing people notice when they search for your business, it’s important that customers as well as business credit bureaus and creditors find up to date, accurate information for your business. Our team creates and edits your Google Business Profile to display the accurate and complete information D&B and the other creditors and bureaus expect to see. (The Google Business Profile was formerly called “Google My Business” GMB or Google Places.)
Press Release
Get featured on hundreds of influential news sites. With our Press Release service, we take care of writing the release for you, with revisions approved by you before they are sent off for syndication. We distribute the digital releases to 450+ news and media websites, including Google News. We also include your company bio, name, address, phone number and logo in the digital press release. Our press release syndication helps you get powerful brand links and brand mentions from authority news sites to increase your business exposure online. With our Press Release service, you’ll be able to generate more sales by having us install “As Seen On” trust badges on your PassportSiteTM. These badges improve conversion rates by up to 48% by building trust and legitimacy with your visitors.
Alias Email Addresses
An alias email address is the same thing as a forwarding address. It doesn’t have its own inbox, it’s simply an address that forwards to another email address on the same domain name. For example, some clients will use “support” or “help” @domain-name.com and forward emails sent to that address to their primary inbox. So [email protected] would forward to [email protected] for example. Your Passport Premium account includes an unlimited number of Alias Email Addresses.
Smart Biz Webmail
Business credit bureaus and lenders expect to see a professional email address on the domain name for the business, rather than a free or generic account like Gmail. But setting up an email address can be expensive with services like Google Workspace.
Your Smart Biz Passport includes a professional email address and a Smart Biz Webmail account so you can access your business email anywhere, even on the go — with no additional fees. Click to see more Smart Biz Webmail features.
