YellowPages.com and other phone companies have invested heavily into their web sites, and they work! Even more effective can be the Local and Map portions of Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Not only do they all have excellent features for getting directions and looking at satellite pictures of your house, they also provide excellent business search for customers and business owners. So effective in fact, that you’ll see local/map listings showing up right in the organic listings for local keyword searches.
