Good call on the 301s Miriam.
After the url site changes, we WILL be resubmitting to all the directories, G+, etc. Thanks for the additional feedback!

Thanks for the feedback Matt. My hunch is that short term there may be a bump, but long term having the city name of the business in the url structure could only help.
With all the flux at Google+ Local/Places and lack of support, it would seem the more obvious you could make your location across the page, the better.
We submitted a group of 50+ franchise stores into UBL to fulfill directory listings back in September. We are now looking at changing the some of the URL structure to include city names.
Example: website.com/store/store-name(not city)
to website.com/location/city-store-name
Will changing the subdirectory and resubmitting to the directory aggregators negatively effect their search results?
Thanks,
Jake
We have used vocus.com which has a partnership with PRWeb.
PROS: They have a great interface, a cool suggestion tool to let you know how you can improve your press releases, and responsive support.
CONS: Expensive, pay whole fee up front
We paid something like $3k for 1 press release per day, but that ONLY applies to 4 clients. We are currently looking for a more cost efficient solution.
