Local Citations Directories - UK based - hotel/restaurant

[ocelot]

Hi

I am looking for some advice / lists of recommended local search directories / citations that I can add my hotel/restaurant to - as part of our strategy to improve local search rankings and increase our visibility on the web.

For example I have added the business to the likes of

Yelp
Qype
Urbanspoon
Tipped
Ufindus
Hotfrog
Freeindex
Brownbook
Trip Advisor

But are there any specific hotel, wedding, conference and restaurant specific sites that I should add the business to also.

Many Thanks

Hi Ocelot,

Don't miss this Search Engine Land post which covers the top 50 citation sources for the UK and USA:

There may well be some good ones on there you have missed, but as far as industry-specific directories go, finding them is frequently a manual task. Actually do some searching for terms and see what you come up with. See what offers free and paid inclusion.

In addition to this, you might want to pay for usage of WhiteSpark's citation finder tool:

It's an industry favorite for finding citation sources.

Hope these resources help you!
