OFFLINE MARKETING

Just got a local request from a owner of a biz in my city from Merchants Cirlce. How much of these type of sites should I be involved in. And from that I mean as time putting in all the info, updating connecting to other biz owners etc.

Seems there are a lot out there and I could be updating forever LOL. What ones SHOULD i truly focus on and make sure im involved in?

Thanx

Here are the main ones I'd focus on:

Google Places (Google Places)
Yahoo Local (Dallas City Pages on Yahoo! Local. Find Businesses, Services and Events near Dallas, TX)
Bing Business Portal (Bing Bing Business Portal (BETA))
CitySearch (City Guides by Citysearch)
SuperPages (Yellow Pages: Superpages Yellow Pages, Maps, Driving Directions, Weather...)
MerchantCircle (MerchantCircle.com | Find new customers)
Manta (Company Profiles & Company Information on Manta)
Kudzu (Contractor, Landscaper, Remodeling, Painter, Doctor, Home Service & Restaurant Reviews - Kudzu.com)
Open List (Open List City Guides - Hotel, Restaurant, Doctors and more - Reviews and Ratings)

Make sure that for all of them you use the EXACT address (copy/paste to make sure) and same info so that it helps get Google Places to the top spot.

I hope this helps!

Thanks

I'm not a big expert on Google Places SEO, but I think Rus Sells has a WSO that goes over this. As for how long things take, I'm really not sure. It could be a week or months... Again, other Warriors can probably answer this better than I.
