    We have bad history dealing with YellowPages or any-YP associated companies.
    I know about citation SEO. and any of these:

    * YellowPages.ca
    * 411.ca
    * ShopinCanada.com
    * CityDirect.info
    * Canpages.ca
    * ZipLocal.com
    * WebLocal.ca
    * FoundLocally.com
    * BBB.org Canada
    * Hotfrog Canada
    * iBegin.com
    * WCities
    * Toronto Life
    * Where.Ca
    * Frommers.com
    * Zip Local
    * Yelp
    * Restaurant.ca

    what's the strategy to get listed? and do we really have to put all info first and wait for someone salesman to upsell us things?

    can someone recommend a proper budget or a strategy?
    thanks

    Good question!

    Citation building is a very good way to get your ranking to the top of the "packs" but you may have to do more than just building citations. Check out:

    Focusing on the major data providers is usually a good place to start and obviously filling out the places page as best as you possibly can!
