SearchAbility Africa Business Directory for SMBs

Nigeria is a vast ecosystem for small businesses. Even though they are usually underestimated, they contribute 48% of Nigeria’s GDP, accounting for 96% of businesses and 84% of employment (Dataphyte, 2023). The most under-leveraged of these is the online market with less than 0.25% of these businesses having any sort of online presence. And of those businesses that do, their core challenge is having to juggle it all as it is usually a self-run business model, especially noting that 28% of digital marketers spend up to 5 hours per week creating visual content (Venngage, 2020), which can be challenging to keep up.

Green Media Ads has built an online directory platform (SearchAbility Africa) that offers small businesses an integrated solution that covers all their marketing and advertising needs with little to no efforts directly dependent on them to run. This platform provides a variety of options that will increase online visibility and exposure for small and medium businesses. The goal is to help SMBs leverage the market potential of digital marketing to give their business a competitive edge over their competition for online exposure. This is only possible when they have a developed online presence and a creative way of communicating their offers in the best light.

Technology and social media have altered how businesses offer their services to potential customers. In this light, Green Media Ads has launched SearchAbility Africa, an online business directory dedicated to helping small and medium businesses thrive in the ever-evolving digital space.
