Local Search Engine Quick Start Submission Guide

If You Do Nothing Else Submit to These 5 Sites

  1. Google Local
  2. Yahoo Local
  3. Local.com
  4. Yellowpages.com
  5. Superpages.com

For more detailed information about submitting visit the Free Local Online Advertising section.

Before you start you may want to make a spreadsheet of the following information.

  1. Business name
  2. Address
  3. Phone
  4. Website URL
  5. Business Description: This is usually only around 200 characters. Take some time with this part. Try to put yourself in your customer’s shoes and enter his/her inner conversation. Is your description good enough to make a customer click through or pick up the phone?
  6. Image: Many of the local search sites let you upload an image.  This is one are where you can really stand out.  I recommend using a logo that is attractive as well as one that has your website URL in it.
  7. Business Categories you fit under.
  8. Coupon ideas: Many sites including Google allow you to upload a coupon.  Preferably use an Ad that you already know works.  If you do not have anything already written write the best ad copy you can. Offer a special or discount of some kind.

See “How to Make Your Local Business Stand Out on Google’s Local Search” for more ideas“

Preparing this information ahead of time will help avoid having to reinvent the wheel as many of these sites ask for the same information.  It will also enable you to spell check and proofread.  Take your time writing these.
