Abstract

A method for building systems of online directories to provide information about local businesses and organizations to Internet users. The invention includes structuring (100) multiple directory websites (120) organized by geographic area and business category that are accessible by search engines, as well as mega-directories and associated websites for each geographic area that may be accessed (135) by search engines and by using a URL address. The directory websites are designed to promote easy online comparison shopping and delivery of substantial amounts of information about individual businesses and organizations included in the directories (150).
