The Ultimate List: 50 Local Business Directories

  

As a local business, attracting new customers can be a major challenge. Quickly disappearing are the days when people would go to the YellowPages to find local businesses. Today people are turning to the internet as a way to find trusted business recommendations. One way local businesses can get found is through inclusion in online directories. Adding a listing to these online directories is easy, but if you only list in a few you're really missing a huge opportunity to get found by online searchers.
Every individual directory that you submit to is another chance to get found online so it's important to make sure you're listed in every directory possible. I have compiled a list of many popular local directories available on the internet. Filling out the forms over and over again can be a big pain, so here's a link to an Auto-Fill add-on for Firefox that should help prevent carpal tunnel.
