The three major search engines all have local directories. More people are using these directories — especially since the iPhone was released.
We think it is very important to have a listing in the directories. Search engine experts also tell us that its important to have a listing in the directories.
I recorded a short (8 minute) video showing you how to register in Google Local. Take a look (it’ll pop-up in a new window).
If you are ready to get listed, here are the web addresses:
Google Local
Live Local Spaces
Yahoo Local
Each of the services require that you have an account with them.
There is no cost to get listed in the directories.
In a future post, I’ll tell you about a new domain name, .tel , that will alos affect local searches.
