How to List Your Bitcoin Business on Coinmap

Note: This article is intended for merchants who accept Bitcoin payments at their retail businesses.

Accepting Bitcoin payments is one thing. Letting people know that you accept Bitcoin is another. Unless you are a major company like Overstock or Dell, it’s difficult to generate the same level of publicity. While services like CoinPip can help, there is only so much that can be done.

What Should I Do?

Inbound marketing is key to online success. This means bringing online customers to your retail business and making your store visible in the digital space. Listing your business in trusted and high-traffic directories helps customers discover you more easily.

One of the most important places to list your business is Coinmap.org.

Coinmap.org is the largest open-source directory for businesses that accept Bitcoin. If you are not listed through major payment providers, Coinmap is one of the best places to showcase your business.

A Short Story

One of our merchants signed up with us almost six months ago but had not fully verified his account yet. One day, several customers came into his store and asked:

“Do you accept Bitcoin?”

He replied, “Yes we do, but we haven’t fully set it up yet.”

At first he thought it was just a coincidence. But more customers continued asking the same question.

Curious, he asked them how they knew his store accepted Bitcoin.

They replied, “We found your business on Coinmap.org.”

That was the moment he realized the power of listing his business online.
