getlisted.org

I actually was hesitant linking to this site because I didn't feel that getlisted.org was working to it's expectations. I feel it's a great tool and concept but also believe that it's not working to it's full capacity.


If someone wants to see and score how their website listing is coming up in Google Local, BOTWL, Yahoo, and MSN you can use this tool. Be cautious though. I searched for my favorite pizza joint, Atlantis Pizza in Alexandria and found that it is misleading at least for the Yahoo Local portion.


The listing score says zero - I spoke to the owner and yes the Google portion is correct. He never answered and verified the listing when Google sent their postcard after his business was submitted.











Yahoo however is listed
http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&y=Search&fr=yfp-t-501&p=atlantis+pizza+alexandria&rs=0&fr2=rs-top
They actually have reviews and photos listed as well. This is a conflicting result from the data on Getlisted.org


The search option also can be confusing. If someone starts their search by putting in address and their zip code - it should display the business. Problem is what if there are multiple businesses at that address. There should be a little more upfront to ensure the listing you are clarifying is the exact listing you are presented.

All in All - great concept and the execution needs works. I hope it has some staying power and grows the list of local providers.
