Local Live Search Directory

Writing by Brick Marketing on Tuesday, 30 of October , 2007 at 9:55 am

Local Live Search is somewhat like a directory. If you head over to maps.live.com you’ll see what, in effect, is a directory. The categories can be overwhelming, but they’re not really. They are there to serve as a way to organize the listings in the directory. The question is, how can you - the small business owner with a local presence - make the most of the Local Live Search directory to get the traffic, and the business, that you want?

Whether your business is an Arts & Entertainment business or a travel-related business, you can list your business in the Local Live Search directory and when searchers at MSN Live look for a business like yours in their area, yours will be one of the businesses they find.

Each category is broken down into subcategories as well. For instance, if you click on Real Estate & Construction, you will see that category broken down into several subcategories. And it’s not just a small list either. Consider these subcategories:

• Building & Construction Services
• Construction Site Services
• Doors & Window Construction
• Drilling & Pumping
• Roofing & Siding Construction
• Stone & Masonry
• Surveyors
• Wood Materials & Experts

That’s just a small sampling. Each of those subcategories are also broken down into further subcategories. The Doors & Window Construction subcategory has 11 categories of business listed under it. After a searcher digs down as deep as she can go into categories, Local Live Search will ask her to input her location. This is done either by zip code or city and state.

Local Live Search is a great business tool for local small businesses. Don’t just list in Google and Yahoo! Go the extra step and list your business in Local Live Search as well. Every little listing helps and you can’t overlook the third largest search engine online.
