Local.com uses a combination of our proprietary Keyword DNA™ and geographic web indexing technologies to provide relevant search results for local businesses, products and services.
Use Local.com to look up names, phone numbers and addresses of businesses in your area or beyond. Our listings include useful information such as store hours, reviews, services offered, environmental reports, and PTA meetings to name a few.

"Keyword DNA™" is our proprietary technology that allows Local.com to determine linked associations for each business in order to create indexes of information and share and display relevant businesses to our users following a search request.
Local.com sources its information from national business-to-business list compilers, data obtained by our web crawler, and information supplied by our affiliated partners.
Type the name or the type of business or service in the "WHAT" box and enter the location in the "WHERE" box. You can enter a city, state, landmark, zip code, area code or airport code as the geographic location. Local.com has the ability to determine your current location, and provide business listings in your local area even if you do not input a specific location in the "WHERE" box.
Local.com will return all indexed results related to a query. Results are displayed ten per page.
Our algorithm and proprietary Keyword DNA™ determine which businesses are the most relevant to a specific search request. Additionally, you can sort the returned listings alphabetically or by distance.
The most relevant and geographically local businesses are displayed first.
The italicized terms are examples of keywords in our proprietary Keyword DNA™ associated with each specific business. These keywords show why a displayed business is considered to be relevant to your search.
