It may take a little effort from the part of the business owner to input some information but it is really worth it. There are so many businesses out there that nobody even thought existed because they didn't spend a few minutes getting themselves listed on Google Places, Bing or Yahoo! Local.

If it's local, then it's more personal. I like that you suggest a structure where identity counts. Eventually, this could be a solution for larger companies as well; just like corporate firms that go local, but with added credibility. This may prove effective for both offline and online strategies.

Even some of these directories do not accept non-US addresses. I find we have to dig further to build the links. Has anyone else from Canada had better experiences?
