Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why doesn't the map show the location
correctly?
A. If the "View Map" link
next to the listing is not showing correctly, the address information may need
altering slightly or the marker itself moved. In order for the map link on USA-Local-Search.com
to function properly, please refer to the
guide to formatting the address information.
Step 3 of the "Amend Listing" system allows you to move the marker to the exact longitude and latitude of your company
and we will use that instead UNLESS you choose not to display your address whereupon the marker is set to the suburb.
Please remember that the map is a free service provided by Google. As
such, USA-Local-Search.com has no control over the placement of the marker,
nor the map itself, other than via the address information supplied.
Q. How do I add my company?
A. Please use the Add Your
Listing tab/link in the navigation. It's a short, simple process. Make
sure to keep an eye out for the confirmation email so as to click the
confirmation link.
Q. What features do I get if I add my company?
A. This is a comprehensive list of all the free features when you add or amend your listing:

Q. How do I amend my company details
that are incorrect?
A. Please use the Update
Listing link under your company details after you've done a search for your
company. It's a short, simple process. We'll send you a
confirmation email, then check the submission to make sure you are not
attempting to alter someone else's information.
Q. I work from home. Do I have
to supply my address?
A. We require your address to verify your company is legitimate. We prefer a way for
your customers to contact you, however, we do respect privacy. In this
case a
P.O. Box may be used.
Q. How do I get my company to the
top/first in the list?
A. We wish to reward those
businesses who are prepared to provide high quality service for their clients
but still retain the free nature of this site. So, if you are happy to have the
We Call You Now button included on your listing, we'll move you to
the top of the list in each of the categories in which you're listed provided
you have a positive credit balance. Please see
www.wecallyounow.com for details.
Q. Can I have more than 1 listing for my
company?
A. ONLY If you have actual
premises in multiple locations, may you create a new listing for each
location. You must qualify the extra business name by appending the
suburb location.
ie AussieWeb, LA
and AussieWeb, NY would
be 2 separate entries.
Q. Is it really free?
A. Yes. We will not charge you a cent.
Q. Why do you ask for payment types?
A. These are for how your customers can pay you. It is NOT for you to pay Aussieweb since we don't charge anything for your listing.
Q. I've tried to add my company.
Why isn't it visible yet?
A. It may take a couple of
working days to complete the addition process as every request is reviewed by
USA-Local-Search.com staff. If it has been longer, it is most likely
that we are waiting for you to click the link in the confirmation email we sent
to ensure the details are correct otherwise your request may have failed to
comply with the terms and conditions.
Q. What are the Terms and Conditions for adding/updating my companies details?
A. The Terms and
Conditions can be found on the legals page.
Q. Why will you not link to my website?
A. There are a number of reasons for this, all of which
are detailed on the Terms and Conditions page under the other restrictions section.
Q. How do I report business details that are incorrect?
A. If it is your own company, please update the listing yourself.
Otherwise, please go to the details page for that listing via the "View More Details & a Map" link.
On that page, just above the map on the right hand side, is a link to "Report this Listing as Incorrect". It will take
up to 5 business days for us to review the listing and verify that it is incorrect and either change it or remove it.
Q. I've requested that my listing be removed/amended.
Why do my details still come up when I search on Google or Yahoo etc?
A. We have removed/amended the
listing from USA-Local-Search.com as requested, however
we have no control over the results that come up from searches on Google and other search engines.
Google and other search engines save their data from websites and only update these every fortnight or so.
Your listing will be out of other search engines when next they re-index USA-Local-Search.com.
If you click on the link however, and review the USA-Local-Search.com page, you will find you are
not mentioned or the info has been updated whichever is applicable.
Q. Where did my details come from to be on this site?
A. Most of the details on this site were found on publicly available internet sites.
