It is no secret that the search engines started weighing heavily on the local searches, and also the links coming from your locality has always been important. To make this matter more precious, search engines also put the local listings on the top of the search results, where most people value these results more than the paid listings.

When you mention local listings, a lot of people immediately reply with Google Places, Bing and Yahoo! Local, which we don’t argue with that. Yet, there are more local directories, where you can list your business, and some of them even offer more value (as far as SEO goes, such as backlinks, and social marketing are concerned).
