International Local Directories
-
I am wondering if anyone has come across a list of local directories for all countries/ regions. Like if there is a cheat sheet anywhere for what local directories exist for Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, UK, etc.

Hi Epic,
I'm so sorry this question slipped under my radar. I really apologize for that! At any rate, I suggest you check out the past work of Local SEO Nyagoslav Zhekov. Look through his blog: www.ngsmarketing.com/blog/. He is probably one of the world's most experienced internationally-focused Local SEOs, having worked with local businesses in a many, many countries. He's written quite a bit about the different platforms in different countries.
Additionally, have you checked out the new Moz Local learning center? This page contains links to Local Search Ecosystem graphics for the US, UK, Germany, Brazil and Canada: http://moz.com/learn/local/local-search-data-providers
Might be good to take a look!
Again, I'm chagrined that I didn't see your question in June. I hope this reply, though belated, is of some help!

Not so much a cheat cheat, but have you tried whitespark.ca? They are a local directory search service. It is very reasonable for the time it says you.

Evidence that high organic rankings impact positioning in the Google local pack?
I'm looking for articles/evidence that if you have a high ranking organic listing that it will improve your chances of being in the local pack. I came across this about a year ago, but I have had trouble finding articles to support this. Does anybody know of any recent articles and/or studies that show a correlation of high organic listings and local pack visibility? Thanks!

Never Removed My Local Listings?
Hi Local SEO experts, A while back we created Google My Business listings for a few of our company locations. A couple of months ago we removed them, because we realized that G might not consider them company locations as they weren't constantly staffed. Only problem is that they started showing up again. Truthfully I don't mind, but I just want to make sure the business won't get penalized for it. They say "claim this business" on the local listing because it's not claimed by us anymore. Is this okay or can we get in trouble for it? If it's not okay, how do I go about removing them if I don't have access to it? Thanks for your time, Rachel

Local SEO Strategy after Pigeon update.
We are a local web design agency and well ranked with several local city level keywords. Now we want to spread out our services to near by cities. What's the best way to do that? Example: We've already ranked for "web design new york". Now how can we rank our site with "web design in Washington" and "web design in California"? Note: We've good DA and PA (above 60) along with higher Trust Rank. But don't have those new keywords on our content.

Has anyone ever used a specific page (instead of home page) when building links in directories?
Instead of the home page, have you ever done (domain)/page-1 for the URL in directories? I figured this would be a good way to build some page authority up for deeper pages for small businesses that can't seem to garner any attention with content / links. BTW, these directories are not considered spam directories. Thanks, Cole
