You built your website.
Nobody came. Now what?

Qualified leads don't just show up at your website - unless you're listed with the CityStar® Network. Call 1.800.689.6148 to find out more.

citystar_home_pageIt's not your fault. You've done what any good business is supposed to do. You've built a website and prepared for the cyber crowds. You've got UPS on call and champagne on ice. You're ready for the big time. There's only one thing missing: customers. Where are they?

Well, seeing as websites number in the billions today, chances are the problem is simply that your customers can't find you. They don't know where to look.

That's where the CityStar® Network comes in.

Make your company part of a fast-growing national network of business web sites.

On its own, your website is a tiny little island in the giant ocean of the Internet. But with CityStar, your site becomes part of a national network of business websites organized by geography and business category. With tens of thousands of listings, CityStar is big enough to get noticed - and get traffic. And when CityStar gets traffic, you get traffic. See how it works?

The CityStar Business Network reaches millions of people with 202 city-specific web sites. With more than 44,300 active listings, we have 40 categories of businesses in each city. Probably in yours.

Do you sell anchors in Anchorage? We've got a place for you. Zippers in, uh, Zipperlandville? There's a spot for that too. And for all your businesses in between.

The CityStar Network is national, comprehensive and, if we do say so ourselves, extremely well organized - it's like a yellow pages on steroids. We promote it extensively via television, print media, direct mail and the web. CityStar delivers the top search engine positions and the high-volume, high-quality traffic you were expecting from the web all along - direct to your cyber-doorstep.

Due to our marketing, size and the quality we offer, every month, CityStar gets more than 12 million hits, 2 million page views and 1 million visitors--or, as you may prefer to think of them, potential paying customers who just may be looking for anchors and zippers (kinky!).

With those numbers, CityStar can give your business the visibility you need to make the sales you want, just like we've been doing since 1994. Our 14 years on the web helped us reach an unparalleled level of expertise. If it sounds like we're bragging, don't worry, we are. We are good at what we do. And we can do it for you. Now where did you put that champagne?

We've made it easy for you to join the network.

Yes, that's right, we've made it easy for you to do business with us. Guilty as charged.

  • For starters, we did away with long-term contracts. We don't like them any more than you do. Now, CityStar offers month-to-month contracts you can cancel anytime. Yes, anytime, right now, even (oh, wait, you haven't signed up yet).
  • We also introduced pricing lock, a feature that guarantees your monthly prices will not increase for two years.
  • Metro bundles discount your ad purchases when you buy ads in multiple CityStar sites for select metropolitan areas.
  • And last but never least, Perma Listing gives you a permanent CityStar listing for a low one-time fee.
