GetListed.org: Have you claimed your local listings?
We often work with small business looking for easy ways to gain exposure for their local specific business. We offered a Local specific SmartGroup (recap notes) recently to help small business owners get up to speed and own their local listings.
Not sure if you have claimed your local listings? Recently released, GetListed.org (http://getlisted.org), is a SIMPLE, easy way to understand which of the major engines you may have missed when claiming your local listing.
Here are the steps:
1) Go to GetListed.org
2) Type in your business name and zip code
3) Voila! View your score and understand which engines you need to go register with.
