Dexknows.com - Find A Local Business

Dexknows.com is a site that will help you find businesses in your area. It is very simple to use. Just by entering in the advanced search what you want to find, by the category, business name, keyword or a phone number. Then you type where you want that to be located: a city, state, an address or a zip code. Answers matching will appear. A list of local business will be shown and you can search for the one you like the best by reading its profile. You can also compare different business, click on the ones you want to compare and the site will do it automatically by showing you the information side-by-side. If not, you can search for a more specific criteria like if they have free parking or if they accept a certain credit card, etc. Dexknows.com also provides you with a map locator where you can see driving directions to the place you choose, and a complete guide step by step so you don’t get lost. The site also offers you to save your favourite business in “my Dex” and whenever you need to go back to a place, just use my dex and it will appear there. Dexknows.com also has a “white pages” section where you are able to search for people's phone number or address just by knowing the complete name of the person, the address or phone number.

“My Dex is the place where you can organize and save information that you use during your business, residential or government searches. You can: • Save listings that you frequently use. • Quickly locate your favorite listings. • Organize a day of shopping by building an itinerary. • Get turn-by-turn driving directions for a day of errands.”

Dexknows.com is a site that provides with loads of useful information. Very “people ready” especially the way they teach you how to use the service. The site is free and has a huge potential audience due to the useful it can be. Save time, find addresses immediately, etc.

Isn't competing against the yellow pages too much? Will people make the best of these services or will they just use it for quick reference forgetting about it later?
