Thursday, 29 September 2011
LocalHood.ca is an online directory that provides a location based listing for Canadian businesses and other local places of interest. Showcase listings for community based, not-for-profit organizations are free, which is a major point of difference for LocalHood.ca compared to other commercial website directory services.
LocalHood Marketing, a leader in local business web presence,
has announced the official name change for its flagship, online city
directory. LocalHood.ca is the new, consolidated brand name for all
LocalHood Marketing online business directories. PeelSeek.com is one
such example of a regional directory featuring business listings for the
Region of Peel in Ontario, Canada that will now be consolidated under
the LocalHood.ca umbrella. Visitors to PeelSeek.com are now redirected
to LocalHood.ca.
“LocalHood Marketing is very excited to expand its location based
marketing services to a national scale,” says Wilf Barnes, the Marketing
Manager for LocalHood Marketing.
“LocalHood.ca is now our flagship directory brand name with a focus on
promoting the web presence of local Canadian businesses.”
LocalHood.ca provides location based information for businesses and
other places of interest through its online directory service. A local
business can list its core business information including its address
and contact information along with a comprehensive description of its
products and services. A basic business listing on LocalHood.ca is free
with paid options available for more comprehensive listing levels.
Premium listings for community based, not-for-profit organizations is
free which is a major point of difference for LocalHood.ca
The LocalHood.ca directory is live and accepting new business
listings daily but the site is still in beta launch with new site
milestones still being introduced to the market. “We are rolling out an
unmatched Web Presence Bundle of services for Canadian small businesses and a local listing on LocalHood.ca is a core part of our new bundled service” says Barnes.
Pricing information and additional details concerning the LocalHood
Web Presence Bundle will be released throughout October, 2011 according
to Barnes. “We still have some work to do but we’re live and open for
business…”
