Local Data Aggregators For Canada

[waynekolenchuk]

Hi Mozzers,

I've seen David Mihm's list of data aggregators for local search for the US (infogroup, localeze, acxiom) but I'm in Canada. Does anyone know if someone has sourced this?

Hi Wayne,

Have you seen this post (also from David)? http://www.davidmihm.com/blog/local-seo/local-search-ecosystem-canada/

I can verify that yellowpages.ca seems to be a big player since I see it mentioned in a lot of the google maps I look at as a data provider... only issue is I am in Greece looking for Greek businesses... go figure!

Just what I was looking for. Thanks Lynn.

Great. thanks Linda. My big takeaway here is that Yellow Pages and Industry Canada are primary data aggregators in Canada.
