Google allows you to select up to five, so take advantage of this option and give your potential customers many potential ways to find your business.

Make sure you are writing for your customers!  There will be verification option after you have updated your Goolge Places page.

Go to Yahoo! Local and for the Basic level (read Free) you get to promote your business to highly qualified prospects in your area by listing your business on Yahoo! Local. Each listing features detailed information that sets your business apart.  This includes your business name, contact information, service information; such as hours, payment methods, services offered and brands or products available for sale. Again, just like Google, you do not need a yahoo! account, you can use your business email and there is a verification process.

Claim your business listing by going to Bing! Business.

Bing! like the others also have a verification process after you have claimed your Bing! page and updated your information.

Check all three of these at least once a month and update as necessary!  This will help your business become more visible in searches and helps influence customers to come and do business with you! All of this is the ultimate goal in marketing and the best part it is FREE!
