		<description>My other half just started a local business a week ago, so now is exactly the time I need to start really utilizing all of these resources.  It&#039;s awfully nice to have a nice long list all in one place.  You did that just for me, didn&#039;t you?  LOL. Thanks, David!</description>

		<description>Get Listed looks like an awesome little tool.  I&#039;ve been trying to get a few client sites listed in Google Local for a while and have struggled.  This should help immensely!  Thanks.

		<description>Excellent points, David.  I found this article while searching for the importance of including your state location in regards to a local online service.

It looks like at least one mention in the title tag and/or page content is the way to go?</description>

		<description>Thanks, David, for making this so understandable. Sometimes people forget and overlook the basics, thinking it has to be more complicated.  

And I really like GetListed.org, too.</description>

		<description>Actually that is a very good point! In most cases where we have optimized for local search, we have used both scenarios. 

Example: &quot;Phoenix Landscaping Services &#124; Acme Landscaping - Phoenix, Arizona&quot;</description>

		<description>In regards to the title tags, would it not be just as effective to use a format like, &quot;Localized Keyword Phrase &#124; Company or Brand Name&quot; Instead of using &quot;Keyword Phrase &#124; Company or Brand Name – City, State&quot;?  Are there any advantages that you have seen in putting the city and state at the end instead of including it as part of the keyword phrase you are targeting?

Obviously in these instances there are a few different ways to look at it, but I was wondering if you have seen any sort of impact of one over the other.</description>
