Mylocalprofile.com: Getting Listed Local Search Results Just Got A Little Easier

This July GDMI has unveiled a new localsearch product called My Local Profile(http://www.mylocalprofile.com).

My Local Profile is a new service developed to provide an intelligent means for local business and "brick and mortar" companies to obtain and/or manage their online presence. MLP was created out of the frustration that many have vocalized over the years about either not appearing in local search engines or Yellowpages results. In some instances companies would be listed, but have old or incorrectly information associated with their listings, causing lost business opportunities.

In MyLocalProfile you can create a profile for your business containing the following information: Company name, company slogan, address, phone number, email address, web site address, category headings, business description, products offered, services, payment methods, hours of operations, and years in business.

Once your business page is created, My Local Profile updates its directory and pushes the information to data providers/companies that all the major search engines receive data from to build their local listings that appear in their search results. This "data push" is done on a monthly basis which provides businesses with the ability to have new information or changes in their business updated throughout the internet in relatively short amount of time.


Here is an example of listing created in MYLP (MYLP Business Listing Example)
