Does anyone have experience with ecinity.com as a vehicle for populating local search directories? If yes, how would you rank it as a competitor to Localeze and UBL?

I've been approached by the company to use their tool. It has functionality beyond just populating local data sources which I'm not concerned with. I just want to know how it ranks in terms of local directory coverage. They claim 85% of the local directories will be populated.

You're welcome, Donna. Sorry not to have more direct advice. A couple of things I noticed about ecinity that didn't thrill me right off the bat was the fact that it seems to be still in Beta, it's asking for my email for me to see what the tool does and the About page is really unspecific. To be fair, looks like they are just getting started and they could turn out to be a super service in future, but if they are already marketing the business and attempting to engage business owners like you, the welcome I'm receiving hitting the site isn't making me immediately comfortable. Again, I know nothing negative about the company whatsoever, and this could turn out to be great, but for now, I don't feel instant confidence. I'm sure they'll improve in the future when they are out of Beta.
Have a good weekend!

Hi Donna,
Unfortunately, I don't have direct experience with ecinity.com. I believe that's a pretty new service, so there just may not be that much feedback out there about them yet. Between Localeze and UBL, I have repeatedly heard local colleagues make statements of preference for Localeze, while at the same time stating that there just isn't a replacement for careful, manual submission. For my own clients, I've always gone the manual route, but at an agency level, many Local SEOs do find these automation tools to be good time savers.
Sorry not to have an experienced opinion on ecinity. I'll leave your question as unanswered in case one of our members has actually put this tool into practice.
Miriam

Acxiom, Localeze, and Infogroup
Are Acxiom, Localeze, and Infogroup the main players when it comes to syndicating local citations? When you add your information to them, how long does it normally take to start showing up in all the other directories? Also, are there any other major players like Acxiom, Localeze, and Infogroup you'd suggest submitting a business to?

How quick do you see google places rankings update
We have submitted allot of citations over the last 60 days for a client. A very prominent business in their city. Pretty good SEO rankings considering we just started doing SEO a couple months ago. Over the last several weeks we have fixed all listings and removed duplicates. Site is optimized properly and etc.. After how many weeks should I see a change in places rankings? Right now they are not moving up at all.

Google Places Local Submission
Hello We're going to upload a bulklisting to Google Places for multiple locations. However, there are existing Google places listings for these locations. The bulklisting is being used to undertake a refresh of all the existing data. How do we go about updating the existing data i.e. do we have to delete the existing information prior to submitting the bulkload, or does a new submission over write the existing data. In addition, how does Google Places verify a bulkload submission i.e. do they make contact with the designated business owner. How long does such a process actually take (roughly!). I know some of this is touched on in the Goolge Places help section, but it is not clear and I don't want to get this wrong for obvious reasons. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Rgds Neil

Getting indexed into Google video search
I have a website that has videos hosted from youtube.com embedded onto it. I created and uploaded the videos to youtube and want them on my website. My question is which would be a better option, hosting the video on my website or embed them from youtube? I currently have them embedded onto youtube but when I do a Google video search I cannot find my company's website anywhere. My videos are shown on the results but they are linked to youtube and not my website. Is there a way to get the search results to show listing of the videos posted on my website?

Local EZE Reviews?
Is anyone here a channel partner with Localeze or has subscribed? Any thoughts? http://localeze.com They want a yearly fee and to me this doesn't make sense as all it is doing is sending information to the local listing sites and this should be a one-time deal.
