In responding to one of the greatest defining characteristics of the majority of individuals who use the Search Engines, namely the fact that they are looking for local products and services, these search engines have launched their new 'local search' listings. These listings, found at the top of the results page of the major search engines, allow business to leap to a prime patch of online real estate without breaking the bank. Tailor made for small and medium sized businesses, the service does present these very businesses with a challenge, essentially how to submit their information so they appear in this valuable listing.

You can search for various local information using:

• local.yahoo.com
• local.google.com
• local.live.com
• Ask.com
• Superpages.com
• Citysearch
• Switchboard.com
• other
