Search Tips

To find a local business, just follow these simple steps:

1. Enter the type of business you're looking for (like "plumber" or "veterinarian" or "auto repair") or the name of a specific business in the search box above.
2. Enter your location in the "city, state, zip" box. (The zip code is preferable).
3. Select the "Area of Search" dropdown box to increase or decrease your "area of search" (5 to 100 miles).
4. Click the "Go" button.
5. The results of your search will be listed according to the average rating of each business. Gold Listings (listings with logos and more information) appear at the top of the search results and are sorted by average rating from highest to lowest.

All other businesses with at least one review appear next and are sorted by average rating from highest to lowest. Businesses with no reviews appear next in alphabetical order.

You have the ability to sort your search results by rating, by distance, or alphabetically.

Here are some tips for improving your search results:

1. Carefully check the spelling of the search term.
2. As a general rule, the more words you type into the search box, the fewer results you will receive.
3. When entering search terms, leave out generic words like "store", "shop" or "service."
