Local Business Places or Listings are replacing the print Yellow Pages and other offline/online directories.   Google, Yahoo and Bing (the Big3) Local Search Business Listings are used more often than any other directory, offline or online.   Google displays local Places within the Web general search results and within the Maps listings.  Yahoo and Bing show similar search results.

Local is about the way people are now communicating and finding information. Local is about small business.

Google uses their map technology with street views to provide the description and location information for your business.  One click on your business and the user is provided with address, phone, business description, reviews, referrals, images and website address; assuming you have made it all available.

Is your business placed in any of the top online Local Business Listings search results of the Big3?   If not, you might as well not be listed at all.  Maybe you rank well where your business is located, but for many businesses, local means more than one city.   A website is not even needed but highly recommended, it makes your business more search relevant.  

As part of the local search marketing service, we will also list your business in other relevant internet directories besides the Big3 local listings, that show up within the organic search results usually on the same search results page.
