Hello Rivsn10, The Internet has started to become an excellent local marketing tool for local businesses to reach the local consumer. The convergence of Search, Social Media, and Mobile has given way for a new avenue that is...for the most part....free to the local business. What is a bit concerning for the small and local businesses having to contend with multiple websites when it comes to their local listing. What I'm really talking about are "time resources". Afterall, there are over 60 websites in 4 different categories specifically geared towards local listings. How can a local or small business have the time resources to cover this space? Even if you made a conscious decision to not manage all 60, there are well more than Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Ask. The space goes to Local.com (they went public), Yelp, Merchant Circle, and many others. Consumers will be the ones deciding which of these local listing websites they will go and post their experience through consumer reviews. This adds to the burden that no one single local listing website will do the trick. Something we recently read at KillerStartUps are companies that are offering a low cost service to update then manage these listings for companies. You can read about this at KillerStartUps here: http://www.killerstartups.com/Search/smartfindslocallisting-com-be-found-online My author page at Sys-Con Media provides quite a bit of information around Local Business Listings, which you can read here: http://melihoztalay.ulitzer.com/ It is a changing world and the local business will benefit. There will be some adjustment to this space needed. Hopefully this information is helpful.
Local directory is helpful for geo targeted websites. If you are targeting to get local traffic instead of International traffic, you need to build more local links. So, local directory links can be helpful. But, I won't totally rely on directory links as they have large number of outgoing links compared to some quality blogs and websites. I would rather invest in getting local links from well maintained local blogs and local websites that is relevant to my industry. Good luck to you!
Local directory listing is a great strategy as lot of searches are done for local businesses. You need to have a Physical Location, Land Line Telephone number etc to get into the top local listings like Google, Super Pages etc..
