Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Can anyone recommend the best or a better alternative to submitting a clients site to multiple directories than Universal Business Listing?  Is UBL the best or is there something better and/or less expensive out there?

Hey Joshua, Do you recommend Submiteaze over a program like Universal Business Listing for submitting sites to directories? https://www.ubl.org/index.aspx

Thanks

Great stuff! Thanks a million.

Thanks Alan. To me the problem with local search is it only covers a 20 mile radius at best with Google Places.  I have one client who does kitchen remodeling.  I can get him to show up in the #1 position in his own town and a few surrounding towns but outside of that I have to move to PPC.  An example would be: if someone searches on the keyword "Kitchen Remodeling" 10 miles away his company does not show up.  The only to fix is PPC.

Thanks again for the feedback.

At the minute 12 out of my 16 clients are Local SEO clients.  I'm new to SEO Moz and still only at the low level subscription which gives me 5 campaigns.  It seems to me (and I may be wrong) that SEO Moz is more suited for my clients that want to rank nationally.  SEO Moz seems like it might be a little overkill for using up a campaign for local seo.  I'm going to stay with SEO Moz as it is great for the few clients I have that want to rank nationally.  So my question is does anyone know of a similar company to SEO Moz that focuses soley on local seo?

Does anyone have experience with Bright Local?  How about shedding some light on what reporting software is good for LOCAL SEO?

I actually run two businesses from my home and both have the same address in Google Places.  But they are completely different businesses in completely different industries with different phone numbers.  I've been running one business for 4 years and the other for two years and I do pretty well ranking locally with both businesses.  You also have the option not to show the complete address.  So my answer based on my success is yes!

I have a domain name that is in use and has a domain age of 4 years.  My question is this, will taking that domain name and promoting it under a completely new business in a completely different industry with a totally different business model hurt getting this new business to rank?

The domain name is my first and last name.  I've been promoting videos that I like under this domain name.  I would now like to use the domain name to promote my local SEO services.  Will this hurt my efforts to rank with search engines since Google and others have been indexing the site for a certain industry and topic?

Thanks
