Q.Why did justBurbank.com get started?
A. When your ceiling has sprung a leak from the upstairs bathroom (in Burbank, mind you) and you look online for a plumber (obviously you need one in a hurry) and a bunch of plumbing guys come up, some from Fresno and the closest one is in West Covina...that’s just wrong. That was the beginning of justBurbank.com. It sprang from an urgent need and several other frustrating attempts to find local services and products online quickly.
Q. What cities does justBurbank.com include?
A. Well...just Burbank and Burbank businesses and stuff only. That’s it.
Q. What are the benefits to paying for a listing on justBurbank.com?
A. Our profile listings target your customers both inside and outside of Burbank and provide a business with a complete description, contact information and much more. The Professional and Elite memberships include a link back to your website. This offers you more visibility in Google searches...and that’s not a small thing. When someone searches for Burbank businesses...they will find us.
Q. Who should advertise in justBurbank.com?
A. Everyone who owns a business in Burbank...period.
Q. How is justBurbank.com reaching out to customers?
A. We are involved in our community and pretty good at the marketing game, both online and off. Our strategy includes online advertising, print ads and lots of shmoosing with the locals. We are connecting with schools, business owners, non-profits, social clubs, networking groups, public service people and many other groups to get our story out there. We are here to stay. The stronger and better known we become, the better it gets for our customers, your customers and Burbank.
Q. Is justBurbank.com going to create a print directory?
A. We are trying to be green here. Big, heavy hunks of paper and ink do not contribute to a greener planet...so let’s not encourage it.

Q. How do I advertise with justBurbank.com and how much does it cost?
A. You can read more about our listing packages and the benefits of each here>>. Listings and ads range between $15 - $45/month.
Q. How will being listed in justBurbank.com help my website’s ranking with Search Engines?
A. Website optimization is about increasing your ranking with Google so that your site is more likely to get found and visited by your customers. One of the primary factors in ranking sites is the number of links from outside websites, especially from popular sites (we are very popular, everyone loves us...my mom said so). Elite and Professional Listing Packages allow you to link back to your website. The more high quality content online about your business and the more outside links back to your site are the two most important factors used to increase your visibility online.
Q. Can I get listed if I live in Burbank even though my business is elsewhere?
A. Sorry...No. We are very exclusive, only Burbank businesses may apply.
Q. How soon will my ad show up?
A. As soon as we can verify your registration and submission, give or take 24 hours, depending on the speed of that amazing internet thing.

Q. What local charities does justBurbank.com currently support?
A. We contribute 10% of our profits to selected local non-profit groups which are currently: BTAC, Boys and Girls Club, Burbank Animal Shelter, Burbank Fine Arts Federation and Supporters of Senior Services in Burbank.
Q. What is “Get-A-Quote” and how does it work?
A. Any customer (local or otherwise) who would like a quote from several local businesses:
