To be honest, I've never heard of them.

Either I'm way behind the times (probable :D) or perhaps I've answered your question?

Free?!?

They are trying to sell the areas as franchises for £8k+vat.

The franchisees must have to make that money back some how?? How?? Premium listings etc etc..

No different from yell  ??? ???

If it's free advertising it's gotta be worth it...  Just make sure you get your advert right, because you'll forget about it soon, and it'll be there for a long time.

Sorry Hilton I haven't actually used them

David it's free one-liner just like every other directory.

As fas as I can work out the 'packages' start at £20 pm.

When I started up (not long ago) I spent ages getting listed on as many free on-line directories as I could find.  I've had absolutely no work whatsoever from any of them, as far as I can tell. 

However, *maybe* my on-line presence on these sites has helped elevate my position with Google?

The citations should help your local presence and should send signals that you are a "real" business.
