Local search business listings in Google, Yahoo, Bing search engines are vital to auto repair service shops. The more information about your company out there, the greater chance people are going to find you. It only takes a few minutes to create a listing and where else can you get great free advertising like this!

Microsoft Bing, a new search engine that replaces the old MSN, was recently released and you should get your free local listing now. Lisa Barone at Small Business Trends wrote a post on How to Grab Your Local Listing in Bing. She provides a great explanation of the process and how to get a Bing local listing set up for your auto repair shop website. Sure Google is still king of the search engines, but Bing will definitely be serious competition and you should be in their local search index. Check out the Bing keynote Q&A by Microsoft president Dr. Qi Lu for more information.

Cheers,
