These three local search directories are great sources for locating a business. Each directory is free to submit your site to and you won’t be listed automatically if you are included in the search engines’ search results. You have to actually submit your site, but it’s free in all three cases.
When you list your business in these local directories, you’ll be allowed to list your physical address, phone number, business name, and website address. You’ll also get a map associated with your business location to help your customers find you better. HINT: The inbound link to your website counts. There’s no reason not to list your small business website in the local directories owned by the search engines. We offer 3 packages to get you started, or let us custom design a marketing package for your business. "Local Search" is the new Yellow Pages and if your business isn't being promoted using the tools available online then you are missing opportunities.
Local search is growing. Can you be found?
Traditionally, consumers found local businesses through referrals or print yellow pages. While those mediums still exist, consumers are increasingly turning to the internet using search engines, specialized directories and internet yellow pages
