Frequently Asked Questions
Buried in Work’s directories are searchable lists of service providers in the estate transition, end-of-life, and transition industries. Visitors to our site use our directories to search for local service providers that meet their specific needs.
Our directories are being upgraded with a fresh, enhanced design and exciting new features, rolling out progressively by the end of September, 2024.
Buried in Work maintains directories for nearly 20 different types of service providers across all fifty states and Washington D.C..
Service providers can submit new listings, claim and provide additional information for existing listings, or request removal of an existing listing.
Basic (“Unclaimed”) Listing: Buried in Work has pre-populated many directories by aggregating publicly available information, including tens of thousands of service providers’ names and contact details. These Basic listings provide general information, including the service provider’s name, location, and phone number.
Premium Listings: When a service provider claims a listing, by either clicking the “claim listing” button on a profile’s webpage or by submitting a new directory listing, they obtain the ability to edit the profile’s information. Claiming a profile unlocks additional data fields and an enhanced profile layout.
Claiming a listing on our directory not only enhances your visibility but also offers a suite of benefits designed to increase engagement and attract potential customers:
-
Personalize Your Profile: Add or update essential business details such as a detailed description of your services, contact information, licenses and certifications, photographs, social media links, and more, helping customers understand what sets you apart.
-
Boost Your SEO With A Complimentary Backlink: Benefit from enhanced SEO, as a backlink from the Buried in Work website can significantly improve your site’s search engine ranking. If you’re unfamiliar, backlinks are important for SEO because search engines view backlinks like recommendations. Generally, the more backlinks a page or site has, the more trustworthy it’s perceived to be. (Especially if those backlinks come from authoritative sources, such as the Buried in Work website.) “In 2024, the cost of a single, medium-quality backlink averages just around $300.” (Source PrestigeLinks)
