Answer: There are many benefits to listing your company. First, unlike many other directories, ours is completely free. Second, it is growing to be the largest directory of minority businesses and it will attract millions of new potential customers looking to buy from a minority owned business. Galaxy promotes this with significant advertising across the digital platforms. Third, having a huge website like Galaxy Directory link to your website can provide dramatic improvements in your search engine results (SEO); allowing many more people searching Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other search engines to find YOU. We believe this SEO benefit can amount to several hundred dollars in free SEO improvement to you.

Answer: Galaxy was created after Hidden Star had worked with thousands of minority and women entrepreneurs and had analyzed many of the common problems they faced. The four biggest challenges found were: 1. minority entrepreneurs feel alone on their journey and want and need a safe way to interact with others in the same situation, 2. they don’t have a lot of money to spend starting a company, 3. they need resources and help from people they can trust to not take advantage of them, and 4. they want and need more revenue.
This Galaxy website has free services and resources that address and help with all four of those issues. It is unlikely you will use all of them, but almost certainly there is something here that can help you.
