What tools do you use to submit a site to local yellowpages?

[prima-253509]

Hey all,

two part question for you.

1. Do you use any tools to automatically submit websites to local yellowpages (example: http://business.intuit.com/directory/marketing/100_syndication_sites.jsp)? and if so, what one and why?

2. Are there any dangers to doing it this way?

It seems that this might save a lot of time and be incredibly helpful to manage your brand profile pages in a centralized location. Also some tools that I am seeing incorporate brand monitoring (which you can do through a variety of tools I know). Anyways, thoughts? comments? tips?

The only tools you need and SHOULD use are your fingers and mind.

Firstly, there aren't a great deal many to have to go through so set aside a few hours and you should have covered all local yellow pages you can find.

Secondly,  You want to make each submission slightly different when it comes to your business description, so you need to use your mind here to rewrite things slightly differently in each case when you can.  Google will appreciate seeing references to your website on pages which aren't identical in content.  And i've often found as your're thinking about differing descriptions you come up with new ideas and as a result end up with descriptions that read better as you go on.

Thirdly, You want to ensure you can give as much information as possible on each profile you create, and each site you create profiles on will differ slightly in what they allow you to add. Some will be very basic, some will allow lots of information and different sections to be entered.  E.g. Business hours, On site parking availability, photos & images etc.

Hope that helps and leads you to do it the write way
