Got your favorite local hangout places, mechanics, doctors and service providers? Now there is an easy way to tag them and share the list with friends. Oh, but why stop just at the favorites, you can also tag businesses as your rejects. You know, for those places that you swear you’d won’t let your friends go.
Getting started is easy if you already have an account with us. Get one now, if you don’t.
When browsing the business listing, tag the business by clicking either the Add to Favorites or Add to Rejects. The list will automatically be created. Once done, you can share the list via email, facebook, twitter, wordpress etc….you get the idea.
Love to read all of your favorites, and love even more to read the rejects!

Local Online Marketing
September 11, 2009
So you own a business selling products, offering services and work with customers in your city and neighboring cities – what’s your marketing strategy?
With you knowing or not, people are talking about your business on Judy’s Book and elsewhere. We provide you a set of tools to not only have your business listed, but also to allow you to enhance your listing by adding coupons, images, URL (if you care about search engine ranking, this is a huge value) and responding to reviews.
Why do I want to respond to reviews, you ask?
Most of the review sites are one sided; they only allow users to voice out their opinions (good or bad). How about you? Don’t you wish you could provide your side of the story for a bad experience a customer had? Well, we do that. By sign up to our merchant service you get to respond to every reviews you receive and we’ll monitor your reputation to make sure you are aware of how your business is doing.
To add credibility to your business, add our newly released badges to your site. For example, below is the badge for Volterra, Seattle WA who made this week’s Top 10 Seattle Restaurant. There are plenty of badge designs to choose from.

1-Glance Local Reputation
September 10, 2009
When it comes to making a decision about finding a good reputable local business, be it a plumber, roofer, or doctor, maybe even a restaurant, we all research. Wouldn’t it be nice to go to one place and be able to make a confident decision right there and then?
We thought that by having the most information about a local business in one place, then it would save you the time from having to spend the time going to other sites. We created 1-Glance local reputation dashboard on each business profiles, like this one: http://www.judysbook.com/cities/stoughton-ma/Restaurants/26876559/Town_Spa_Pizza.htm
If you are a local business owner in the US, make sure your profile is on Judy’s Book. We offer FREE listings, and for a small fee, you can upgrade your listing to enhanced with SEO benefits and many other marketing tools. Get started: http://www.judysbook.com/biz
