How do I add my business to Citysearch.com?

Citysearch partners with InfoUSA for local business data.  They offer an Express Update service that allows merchants to update their listing data as well as add new businesses.  Once you've added your business please allow 4 weeks for the information to be on Citysearch.  You can find them at http://www.expressupdate.com.

What if my business is marked as “Closed” on Citysearch.com?

We obtain local business data, including addresses, phone numbers, and whether a business is open or closed, from InfoUSA, a third party vendor.  We suggest that you contact InfoUSA directly to correct your business listing. Once the listing in InfoUSA is updated and Citysearch pulls in the data feed, the information will be updated in our directory. You can find them at http://www.expressupdate.com.
