The Finance Pages database contains over 150,000 local U.S. businesses in the categories of mortgage, realty, insurance and banks. Local businesses can now enter free detailed business listings which include: a business name and a link to a website, an address and a link to a map, a phone number, a toll free number, a company tag line, business hours and other detailed information specific to the industry. 

For example, the realty category allows businesses to also enter the following information: a list of the realty services they offer, a list of the property types they work with, their designations and awards, the year they were established and the name of their parent realty firm. Sample listings can be found on the homepage which is automatically updated hourly to reflect our newest listings in all categories.

Site founder Brian Gomes is excited about the new offering and noted: "In looking at other local finance directories online, I feel that none of them have created a valuable consumer resource which also offers great value to local businesses. Many sites are charging local businesses high monthly fees and are burying tiny local listings beneath national advertising. This is where the idea for The Finance Pages was born - we are focused on giving local businesses large, detailed business listings that are prominently displayed for free. Our goal is to offer local businesses a powerful and free method of promoting their business online which will allow us to create a valuable resource for consumers."

The 150,000 businesses already listed can easily add more information to their listing by using the "add more info" link beside their listing. New businesses will also find it easy to enter a detailed business listing in just a few minutes. Businesses create a username and password and can update their listing at any time. All listings are free and a reciprocal link is NOT required. Listings are reviewed by a human editor to ensure that only local businesses with a physical presence are added to the directory.

We encourage all local finance businesses in the United States to visit us and create a free detailed business listing to effectively promote their business online and help us create the most useful local financial resource on the web.

The URLwire Effect:
"URLwire is without question the most effective way to tell the right people in the online world about your web site" 
-- CoolShopping.com

My experience with URLWire has been entirely positive.
I received coverage (and links!) from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which had over 500,000 readers. Resulting traffic has been more than impressive. URLwire
demonstrated to me that it's the prime choice for announcing a web site. Edwin Hayward
