20 Local Search Directories 2023

While promoting websites, I was faced with the significant importance of local business promotion. Of the referral services, maps, and business addresses I knew, I only had Google Places and Bing Places. However, having recently added local businesses to the less significant recommendations and local search services, I faced a significant improvement in the positions on the promoted queries of the promoted websites.

That is why I decided to put together a local search service list for you. I have not come up with a specific name for local search; literally, this is a local or local search, but these services offer 4 types of information – recommendations, address, business activities, and localization on the map. Therefore, I called these services recommendation services and local search services.

As I already wrote in the article about website promoting, be sure to write the keyword you want to promote next to the name of your business. For example, suppose your business sells Italian furniture. In that case, your company is called, for example, The Consigliori, and the main query is Italian furniture. When adding a business to local search engines, be sure to add this key query to the name – The Consigliori Italian Furniture. This will help you improve your organic rankings on Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
