How Local Business Can Get Free Local Search and Directory Listings

If your home business relies on a local clientele and you're looking for ways to get your business publicized so customers can find you, locallytype.com has put together this ever-growing list of places where you can do just that. In many cases, links lead to free listings.

The listings directory on localtype is an open list to gather information on where to go to submit and/or edit your business listing on Internet Yellow Pages(IYP) companies, local search engine directories and social networking sites, including Yellowpages.com, Yahoo! Local Search, Google Maps, Yelp.com or Qype.

The listings directory is growing, but already covers the USA, and central Europe, including France, the UK and Germany. Not only does the directory allow you to access listings from a central location, your listings can be effective advertising for your home business and, if you have a home business website, they can get you valuable, one-way incoming links for better search engine rankings.
