These are my notes from April 14th web conference call.

Basic Free Way to Advertise your Website

Google Local (Free)

This adds you to the Google Local Business Directory. You can create a link back to your site.

Yahoo Local Submission Program

Local Basic Listing (Free)
Local Enhanced Listings ($9.95/month)
Local Featured Listing ($25/month)

This is an example of the local business directory:

http://local.yahoo.com/results?p=real+estate&fr=&sortby=&csz=Austin%2C+TX&flnstr=2&flsstr=0&ppg_nm=1&pg_nm=2&xargs=

Featured listings are in the blue box at the top, regular listings appear in the list. Recommend starting with the free listing – have some past clients give you a review, it helps your placement on the site when people search for highest reviewed.

I don’t think the $9.95/month buys you much, the premium placement of local featured listing would generate more traffic due to the placement on the page.
