Last week we covered an overview of local search and how to register with the local feature of each of the big three search engines. If you want a review on how to register see: Google, Yahoo, Bing.

Today we’ll discuss other local search directories. These directories provide a large amount of local search traffic and are growing in popularity. Each of them has different features and are attractive for various reasons. Today’s blog is simply a listing of the options available. It doesn’t hurt to get listed in all or most of these forms depending on what your business does and the value the local search provides.

  1. Yelp
  2. Kudzu
  3. CitySearch
  4. Craig’s List
  5. Local.com
  6. Service Magic
  7. ibegin
  8. insider pages
  9. Judy’s book
  10. infoUSA
  11. MagicYellow
  12. MetroBot
  13. Search Site
  14. Yellowpages.com
  15. yp.com
  16. YellowUSA.com
  17. acxiom.com
  18. Discoverourtown.com
  19. pinpointpages.com
  20. merchantcircle.com

While these sites aren’t necessarily the most heavily searched sites they are targeting local people who are performing local searches and looking to buy. So when a customer does find your business on these sites converting that person to a buying customer becomes easier. Registering at these sites expands your reach and your personal web.
