TrueLocal Pricing Model
As we continue to mine data and pricing for various local directories, we have now added further details for TrueLocal.
Whilst we are able to source some information, we are always seeking first-hand feedback, reviews and other useful information from people who have used TrueLocal’s services.

White Pages Listing Pricing Model
This week we’ve created a Business Directory Profile of Sensis White Pages who are arguably the largest business directory online and print publication in Australia.
We’ve been hard at it mining for information to help you decide the best Australian business directory. Prices are a definite place to start, on top of that we’re hunting general customer statistics and reviews. If you’re an existing White Pages customer please let get in touch with us through the comments section.
Building the business directory profiles
Here’s where the fun stops and we get serious. In order to provide you with the best informed opinions of the Australian local search world we strive to:
- stay in contact with directory owners and management
- present the latest developments across the industry
- discuss opinions with leading authorities
- recommend listing strategies for free/paid directories
- host interviews with informed sources
Finally, we will present this information in it’s simplest fashion. Our team aren’t stroking anyones back so you can be assured you’re getting the best deal in your visit.
We can’t do this alone, shortly you’ll be able to help us decide the top directories by submitting reviews, ratings and feedback of your experience with them.
Watch them purr like a kitten or deal that punishing blow you’ve held onto for too long, it’s all about involving you in our efforts. Stay tuned.
Why focus on local Australian search?
I’m Peter Newsome and like Michael, I’m also a co-founder and contributing writer for Start Listing.
Locally focused search has been around for a number of years, both internationally and here in Australia, but there has never been a greater focus on local search than now. This was recently re-enforced when Google formed a partnership with Rupert Murdoch’s company, News Corporation (owners of TrueLocal) earlier this year. More details here - Google and News map out web deal.
Whilst the larger players are gaining press coverage, there are still a lot of smaller, high quality business directories that have been embracing Australia’s booming local online search market without all the accolades.
At Start Listing, we don’t discriminate - it doesn’t matter whether you’re as big as Google or a much smaller niche directory - if it provides benefit to the Australian Search Market, we’ll be reporting on it.
We also encourage feedback from all our readers - so please, don’t be shy to add comments and let us know what YOU think.
