Local directories and map listings are a great place to have your business listed.  A lot of these sites feed other sites data so you can get traffic from literally hundreds of large sites for submitting to just a few.

I’ve compiled a list of sites that will let you add your business listing for free.  Most of these are major sites with big pull and tons of traffic.

citysquares.com
ibegin.com
infousa.com
insiderpages.com
judysbook.com
littleengine.com
local.com
local.google.com
local.yahoo.com
magicyellow.com
maps.live.com
mojopages.com
superpages.com
truelocal.com
tupalo.com
yellowbot.com
yellowpages.com
yelp.com

This list is good and active as of the time of this posting.

A lot of businesses don’t realize if they don’t grab their business someone else can and might.  Local listing hijacking is real.  You’ll notice if your business is listed in any of these directories you can claim your business if you didn’t previously.  What happens if someone else claims your listing?  That’s right they can change your business address, website address, phone number, etc…  Than they get all of your hard earned traffic.

Don’t hesitate grab your local listing at least from the top 3 search engines and if you have time gradually grab your listing from the other major companies (infousa, superpages, etc…).  Your business will be glad you did.
