		<description>Its crazy to think that after all this time, very few businesses are taking advantage of local search whether paid or natural.  The trend is changing quickly though.  A friend of mine works for one of the big yellow page providers and they are losing business in droves to web based agencies.

		<description>Hey Mason,
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
First, the comment is appreciated.  Regarding &lt;em&gt;online&lt;/em&gt; yellow page type websites, I&#039;d recommend keeping your regular listing on all of these websites -- if the paid ads aren&#039;t worth the investment it certainly makes sense to liberate yourself though :)  Search engines, Google Maps for instance, use these listings to verify addresses, and as both incoming links and citations.  In the image, you&#039;ll notice a Greenling&#039;s Superpages.com profile is listed under the Web Pages tab in Google Maps.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>This year I completely cancelled all Yellow pages ads....It was such a liberating moment.  Doesn&#039;t appear we received any business from print or online yellow pages last year.
