The importance of Local.com to real estate agents
Posted in Real Estate Marketing By Mike, Friday, August 29, 2008.If you are not familiar with Local.com, they are localized online search tool specializing in helping people find large and small businesses within their local area. Unlike other local search tools out there Local.com contains rich review content submitted by actual customers as well as free listings within their directory.
According to Compete, Local.com’s traffic has been steadily increasing over the past few years as well and they are now just under the 10 million visitor per month mark.
At a minimum real estate agents should submit their business as a free listing….it’s a no brainer with almost 9 million people going their per month. If you are in a larger market and feel advertising on Local.com will benefit your business their rates are low with a $50 introductory offer.

As a former employee of Local.com, I would agree that it's a no-brainer to get a free listing. Agents should get their info out there any place they can. Rates are low for top placement and better exposure, but Local.com primarily gets its traffic by arbitraging cheap keywords off of sites like Google - keywords like burger and campground for instance. I know that they are working on getting to a point where they have more organic traffic, but hey, it's free so take advantage of it.
