I've had loads of work come just through the free listing. Saying that though, there aren't many window cleaners listed in my area!

have never advertised with them, £200 a year seems a little steep for just going on their site I'm less than a 1/4 of that  ;)

do you have a website ? as an add in the book with a website address is a good way market yourself as you can have a smaller add and the website will open it up to all the details you want people to know.
do yellow pages still have the books?

I dont think they have changed that, as You can get a mobile number for free and get as many listings on there as you want, I dont think they will ever change that, think the only way you can get in the book with a mobile is to pay them.
