How to get listed in search engine? One thing you should search in the top search engine if your website is exist. If is not yet listed, you should submit your website on their add listing site. I think it takes 24 hours to be crawled in their Spider/Robots. Once you found the good placement in the search query, create a sitemap. Sitemap page and sitemap webmaster tool are different. Submit your sitemap in webmaster tool.

This is a great thread, and its interesting to see how popular it has become as of late. Google and other major SEs are focusing searches more towards local areas anyhow, not just through maps and listings but organic searches also.

We have been receiving conversions from customers who have found us on their smart phones. As more and more searches are done by phone, its important to be listed for web AND mobile devices.

Also forgot to mention, very important local search ranking factors are 1) the location of your server 2) the domain ending 3) business address listing 4) WHOIS domain owner information and 5) location in content or domain name if possible
