As a local business, attracting new customers can be a major challenge. Quickly disappearing are the days when people would go to the YellowPages to find local businesses. Today people are turning to the internet as a way to find trusted business recommendations. One way local businesses can get found is through inclusion in online directories. Adding a listing to these online directories is easy, but if you only list in a few you're really missing a huge opportunity to get found by online searchers.

1. The Ultimate List: 50 Local Business Directories
As a local business, attracting new customers can be a major challenge. Quickly
disappearing are the days when people would go to the YellowPages to find local
businesses. Today people are turning to the internet as a way to find trusted business
recommendations. One way local businesses can get found is through inclusion in
online directories. Adding a listing to these online directories is easy, but if you only list
in a few you're really missing a huge opportunity to get found by online searchers.

many popular local directories available on the internet. Filling out the forms over and
over again can be a big pain, so here's a link to an Auto-Fill add-on for Firefox that
should help prevent carpal tunnel.
