Local.com is a website I came across while looking for a way to “penetrate” the local catering scene here in Phoenix. I was doing some online research and found the site and…I like it!

Sure, there are a bunch of other local search type sites out there but this one is way better. It’s a hybrid of all the large local search sites like; Yelp, YellowPages.com, CitySearch and SuperPages. Cool thing is, Local partners with the above sites to offer users the ability to just visit one site to find local restaurants, business contact information and hours, driving directions, as well as an aggregate of reviews from multiple sites. Essentially, local.com is a one stop shop for finding local businesses and services in your area.

Also, for those of you who own a business, Local allows you to submit your company’s information and website URL to their directory. Best part of all the submission is FREE!
