For sure, they can act as a ready reckoner for all those interested. DJ, guess you guys can do it with the usual temperament.

Most local businesses will not be able to keep up with all the locations they need to update and maintain. While I am not going to disagree that Google is the 800lb gorilla "on the web", but in the mobile marketing and mobile device space the playing field is a bit different. When it comes to mobile marketing, application developers will decide which database they want to use, therefore, the more locations that are updated and maintained the better for the local business. If you add that Twittering will become an addon to local business listings, the potential of dissatisfied customers walking out the door and Twittering or writing a review will add to the burden for local businesses to manage these listings. 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 It is a changing world and the local business will benefit. There will be some adjustment to this space needed. Your post is great for procedures at Google. Now we need to add Yahoo, Bing, Yelp, Local.com, Ask, Merchant Circle and many more. Hi DJ,

I used to add listings in local business centers, but did not follow all these steps. I would encourage everyone to read this post for achieving better visibility on local areas. I am expecting similar info on Bing & Yahoo! listings too from you. Thanks for the detailed step by step information.
