Tom gave me the tools to navigate our way out of a nightmare caused by multiple, incorrect website listings for my business. It was IMPOSSIBLE to contact a human being at any of the offending sites - Yahoo, Google, Yellow Pages, JustCLickLocal (the worst!)- Tom was online and provided immediate assistance. Recommend him and his services very highly. This is an incredible public service!

Would be nice if you could also put a star next to the ones that are free. Have you seen getlisted.org by David Mihm and others? I also highly recommend UniversalBusinessListings. Would love to hear more about the interplay between paid search and listings-- to see how both in combination create lift, by looking at average position across regular organic, maps, and paid-- then lift in calls. Tom,
