7 Ways To Connect Locally With Your Customers (Part IV)

My E Blogger server was down yesterday so I was unable to send our Part IV.

But now it is up and running!

Today we are going to talk about Citysearch, a great local marketing tool

Here's how it works: Citysearch lists the name, address, phone number, customer reviews and a maximum of two photos for free. Citysearch also offers a premium, paid-for service that allows owners to add more information, from videos to coupons. It even has a "send details to my phone" option.

Better yet, Citysearch promotes premium advertisers through a network of newspapers and Web sites across the country. As with Google AdWords, paying advertisers get better placement in the search results. For more information, please visit www.cityseach.com ,

Here's what it costs it costs: Advertisers on Citysearch.com pay a minimum of $200 per month. Citysearch subtracts from your designated amount each time a viewer clicks on one of your links.

When your budget is used up, the content is still available on Citysearch.com, though not through the distribution network until the next budget cycle begins.
