New nteractive business directory that goes beyond standard search results

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 29, 2011 -- Gihon Media will today launch a national commercial search directory that will take search results beyond existing formats to a more interactive experience.

The new business directory platform will include extra features, apart from the standard results information found in other directories, such as image galleries, videos, feature positions, star ratings, social sharing and direct links to business websites.

Gihon Media Director, Catherine Chenery, today said the launch was not intended to be in competition with existing directories but provide other ways for businesses to be found online with more interactive search results. The intention is for viewers to make better, informed decisions.

"Our aim was to go beyond the standard search results and enable directory listings to take advantage of the immersive technology that is available on the web today. We wanted to give Australian users, who are conducting a local query, more information on the businesses they are considering," said Catherine

“we aim to cover a large percentage of the estimated 1.2 million businesses listed in Australia”.

Gihon Media is using the latest processes and technology to acquire the listings and continually evolve its Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) strategies to increase visibility and usability.

According to Catherine the company is building its database from scratch and not using any Web harvesting or external party sources.

Businesses who wish to list on the directory can do it online via the submit link on the website: http://www.directorylounge.com
