Free Local Online Advertising Options
On this website I list the local search engines in descending order of popularity as determined
by Alexa.com site ranking. To submit your website to the local search engines does not require any great technical
skill, but it does take time. As a small business owner myself I realize that time is limited.
This is why I suggest starting with the most popular search engines first. This means starting with Google Local, Yahoo Local, Local.com, YellowPages, and
Superpages.
Chances are your business may already be listed. You may still need to tweak the ad
though. Especially with Google. If you are unsure simply go to the site and search for
you business name.
