Local sites to make sure I'm listed in - which ones?
-
I'd love to know what sites this community deems most important when looking at whether my business & site are listed there. I know the obvious - Google Places, Yahoo Maps, Bing Local, Yelp. Foursquare.
What others do you consider to be "mission critical" to the general market?
Thanks!

If what you're asking about entails LOCAL search, then a quick look here at the moz Local Search Ranking Factors study will show more...though not spefically about what sites to gain Citations on...
For that I use Darren's Whitespark.ca for a complete clickable list one uses to build your own....
Is that what you're looking for?

And the data aggregators of course, as they feed so many other local local repositories. That's the benefit of using Moz Local. It will guide you through the submission process and feed data aggregators. Then, as Jim Rudnick mentions, Whitespark is an excellent resource for finding (and acquiring) other highly relevant and worthwhile citation sources.
If you don't want to use moz local, you can use their educational materials to arrive at the same place.

Hi Wick!
Definitely consider checking out your site on our free Check Listing tool, which generates data about your business on 15 sites that Moz considers among the most important: https://moz.com/local/search
Nice answers, everybody!
