Improving your business’ ranking for local internet searches has therefore become very important.  In a previous post on boosting your local search rankings, I pointed out that at a minimum, business owners should create a listing on Google’s Local Business Center.  This is easy to set up and the service is free.  You can sign up for it here.

In addition to creating a Google Local listing, you should also set up a business listing at Yahoo Local. The process is very similar and its also free.

Microsoft also has its Bing local search engine, so consider creating a listing there as well.

Having multiple listings and additional citations should give your local search rankings a definite boost.
