Google Local Canada

Early Results from YellowPages.ca - Google Partnership

Barely 2 weeks after the launch of the partnership with Google, the response from clients and partners alike has been very positive.

YellowPages.ca had about 300 pages queried within Google on September 21st, the launch of the partnership. That number now sits at about 150,000 pages, and growing. Though that’s just a small percentage of the overall 2.4 million pages to be queried, key YellowPages.ca headings are already showing up on the first page of Google search results. A few examples are below. What does all this mean for our clients? More customers.

Try various forms of the search for yourself

A quick note about Google Local Canada listings: As you know, the only way to be listed in Google Local Canada is to be listed on YellowPages.ca. If you are already a client, this has been done for you. As Google Local Canada is a proximity search however, if you do not have an address listed in YellowPages.ca you will not show up in Google local. Please call your KS2 representative to add your address if you wish.
