      I have a client with a business that has locations in about 20 different states.  Can I get them local listings in DMOZ? If so, how?

        You would have difficulty getting one site listed in more than one category of DMOZ:

        "You should submit a site to the single most relevant category. " http://www.dmoz.org/add.html

        Is there a main office location you could use?

        Google Places would be really important for you- setting a listing up for each location and ensuring to link to the most appropriate subdomain of the client's site.

          You will have trouble getting any site listed in DMOZ!

          Not saying it's impossible, but the last 5 sites I've tried to get listed have failed miserably despite following their guidelines definitively.

              Definitely, Liz...  Google places works for this client very well.

              Thanks!

                DGSEO, as everyone else has stated, it's VERY unlikely that you'll be able to get more than one DMOZ listing. I know it took me weeks just to get one!!
