I don’t understand why consumers would go to their web site rather than just search at Google.com. Google has very good search results in both their Google Local service plus in Google Maps like the person above mentioned. Isn’t this just too little too late for the IYPs or am I missing something here?

Differentiating between incall and outcall services is a nice touch. Another way people use Google is to search by location first, then by services within that location. So someone could search for “Wrigley Field” on Google Maps to zoom things down, then search for “Pizza” to generate a map of local spots. I often do this 2-step based on my zip code for local searches and have been satisfied with the results.
