Why is it beneficial to list in the Madloba directory? — Local promotion in Georgia

Problem:

A manicure instructor from Tbilisi decided to offer her own courses, but almost no one knew about them. There were few interested students, and finding students through social media ads was time-consuming and tedious.

How we helped:

• We posted information about the courses in the Madloba catalog.
• We created a clear, sales-focused website.
• We added real testimonials from past graduates to build trust.
• We created a page on Google and Yandex Maps, highlighting the location of the classes.
• We offered a "Bring a friend and get a discount" promotion, which we promoted on our blog and social media.

Result:

In three months, enrollment increased by more than 150%. The instructor filled a group for several classes ahead and even began planning the expansion of her manicure school. "I'm very grateful to Madloba," writes the course owner. "Before, only a few people knew about me, but now my class fills up within a week!"

A nail salon in Batumi opened and operated for a year with virtually no new customers. The owners relied on word of mouth, but as time went on, revenue stagnated.

The Madloba team took on a comprehensive promotion. We added the salon to the catalog, created high-quality photos, and filled the profile with details. In addition to advertising on Madloba, we also worked with Google Maps and suggested Yandex Maps, although the owner initially considered this unnecessary.

As a result, after a year, the salon's client flow increased by 230% compared to the previous period. We helped create a mini-website, developed a style, selected branding elements, and positioned the salon as a premium salon.

According to the owner, "We didn't have the time or knowledge to actively promote this before. Thank you for taking it all on and doing it so professionally."

Problem:

A small coffee shop opened in the center of Tbilisi, but the competition proved too stiff. Passersby mostly stopped by by chance, and many didn't even know it existed.

How we helped:

• We created a coffee shop page in the Madloba directory, uploaded atmospheric photos and a menu.
• We activated Premium placement: the coffee shop began appearing at the top of search results for "coffee," "cafe in Tbilisi," and "coffee shop nearby."
• We set up geolocation in Google and Yandex Maps, highlighting the cafe's special features—high-quality coffee varieties and a small dessert area.
• We published a short article about the coffee shop on our blog, featuring real reviews from our first visitors.

Result:

In two months, revenue increased by 60%. We now have regular customers who come specifically because of reviews and recommendations on Madloba. "Not only tourists but also locals are starting to find our coffee shop," says the owner. "Now I see that our catalog has a real audience interested in quality coffee."

Problem:

A hookah bar in Tbilisi's old district struggled to stand out among dozens of similar establishments. The owner was confident that business would take off naturally—"our music and style are unique"—but reality proved more complex.

How we helped:

• We placed a bar in Madloba with an emphasis on atmosphere: photos of the interior, DJ set schedule, and special tobacco flavors.
• We promoted the bar on Yandex Maps, as many tourists from the CIS countries search for hookah spots there.
• We created a series of short videos featuring patrons talking about the establishment. We posted them on social media and on the bar's catalog page.
• We also installed banner ads on competitors' pages to attract audiences.

Result:

Within six months, the client base almost doubled. The bar became a magnet for tourists and young Tbilisi residents. "At first, I didn't believe in the power of a directory," says the owner, "but people started finding us through Madloba recommendations, and we saw real growth."

If you choose free placement, your application is processed in a queue, which can take several weeks. If you choose Premium, we prioritize publishing your page, making it available to clients significantly faster.

No problem. We can post basic information (name, contact information) and temporarily use photos from open sources. With Premium listings, our manager will help organize a photo shoot or select images that highlight your appeal.

It depends on the plan you choose and your business sector. Companies that sign up for Premium typically see their first new customer inquiries within the first week. With the free plan, the effect may be slightly slower, but over time, you'll still get traffic.

This is when we place your advertising banner or card on a similar company's page. This way, visitors viewing your competitor's offer also see yours. This service is only included in the Premium Plan.

We monitor reviews of your company, promptly inform you of new comments, and help you respond appropriately. If there are any negative reviews, we'll help you resolve the situation and improve the user experience.

Yes, we offer the option to list each branch or service area on a separate page. For pricing and details, please contact our manager.

Primarily with Google and Yandex. With the Premium Plan, we optimize your listing and help it rank higher in search results and on mapping services, so customers can find you faster.

That's why the Premium plan includes a dedicated manager. They'll handle profile updates, review management, and promotions. All you have to do is approve materials and attract new clients.

Yes, all the information we've posted about your company will remain on the website. The only difference is that your profile will be upgraded to the basic (free) plan without priority items and additional services, but the profile itself will remain.

We communicate exclusively in writing (chat or email) to ensure every agreement and request is recorded. This way, we can return to the correspondence at any time and avoid misunderstandings.
