Recently, Verizon announced yet another state's phone book (you know, the paper kind) would be eliminated (in this case, Virginia). The impending demise of old-fashioned phone books was first blogged about by Bizzuka last November and underscores the critical need for accurate and thorough online business listings.

One @ Local Business Listing

8/2/2011 10:28:58 AM

While the local business listings have been claimed, they are only claimed at Google. That doesn't necessarily benefit the overall marketing process on the web, which we will discuss further. The other is that the local business listing has been claimed only at Google and nothing further has been done. No coupons updated, no customer reviews disputed, no events, no videos, and no photos. Essentially the local business listing has been claimed, but they are not being used for marketing purposes or to avoid public relation problems.

Undoubtedly, businesses that have claimed their local business listing have found that their time resources are limited in order to manage the local listings at Google let alone managing the local listings at many other websites, searches engines, social communities, 411 websites, GPS websites and general business directories. This doesn't include the frustration they may have encountered in the claiming process that could have led to an anxiety to do anything further with these listings.
