This is a real situation that can and does have an impact upon a business that is not paying attention to their local business listings. If your business relies on the local consumer market for its primary revenue and you are not clear about local business listings, then you need to get caught up real quick.For one thing local business listings are the demise of the traditional yellow pages. If the traditional yellow pages have not already seen their coffin and at minimum a door stop, then free local business listings are the nails in the coffin. Certainly you will find that you can save money in this space.Local business listings give the local business the ability to not only have their general information available, but photos, videos, coupons, offers, discounts, promotions to name a few item.

We certainly are not talking about the outdated hardcopy yellow pages, but the Local listings on search engines along with the mobile industry. I cannot tell you the number of times I wanted to send the yellow pages back to AT & T addressed to their President in the past 10 years. The fact that the silly hard copy still is around at no charge to the consumer is amazing! It works better as a doorstop than it does for the content. Creating advertising that happens to catch a small percentage of companies that actually benefit from the traditional hard copy yellow pages certainly has not convinced me that this method of local marketing is effective.The very reason why the AT & T yellow pages or for that matter any hard copy yellow pages exist is the same reason why companies like AT & T would not even consider the acquisition of a company like Yelp. It would require a company like Google to take the...more
