About a year and a half ago, I explored an opportunity with this internet directory for local businesses. It didn't fly as hoped but I saw the potential for it. There are new ones sprouting and I thought I'd share this with you.

If you're a business owner, whether it's big or small, you might benefit from putting an ad in the Internet Yellow Pages. The customer should be able to do a search for whatever business they need to find and it will locate you by proximity. It is a good way to put an ad because of geolocation.
Even that small little brick and mortar barbershop benefits from enlisting at a Local business directory. Exposure is the key to success in business, especially if you really offer quality goods or services.

These directories make it convenient for the end customer to find the best business that will cater to his needs. Another plus, usually, is an efficient feedback or review service that will guide the customer in choosing the right one based on the experiences of others. It is a self-feeding machinery that benefits all parties.

To me, it is a win-win situation for all.
