  I see the last post is quite old but it is quite relevant considering the financial situation recently. Furthermore would like to bring the topic back in the early-to-mid 2011 considering the need for advertising and the post financial stress situation.
  We have tried Yell.com over the past 3 years and the results were amazingly low. I mean - NILL. No comeback at all. And now they have come up with their new service, sounds quite cheap: web-design + hosting + SEO for just over £170 a month. Considering the prices for standard SEO it sounds good. On the other hand 118 has proven to be with lower results than Yell.com, based on comments and feedback from colleagues. 
   My personal opinion is that similar websites do not work for domestic cleaning, cannot say anything about commercial and contract though. And even with the strong position search engines are currently taking I believe 118, BT directory, etc will keep loosing clients until they come up with an idea to beat the competitiveness of on-line search engines. Mind that there you pay for what you get, but not for flat existence on a list of companies.

Hi Paul
 
I haven't seen you about in a while!

I don't think it would be worth spending money with them.

Hope this helps.

Calling 118 for carpet cleaning who tells you that. Just call professionals by searching on the site.

GUYS!  save your money,
if you can just register with thompson local, and yell online.

thompson, blue phone book, and basic yell are free!!!!!!
then theres your  cleaning forums which can provide a link to your details.

why spend all that hard earned brass to line there pockets.

Quite agree with you that Thomson Local and Yell are two perfect place to advertise about our business and besides of them yellow pages is also a recommendable option as they give you direct leads which converts into business deals. Forums are also growing as advertisement places for businesses.

I would not recommend 118 - they tend to take a lot of time to respond!

[Mike Nummer]

I think that 118 is very good.

Similar subject was being discussed at yahoo answers last week. I can post the link if needed.

I've not heard great things about yell or 118! For domestic services I think most people would do a Google search eg: 'window cleaners in...' so it's important to get yourself on page 1 of Google if you have a website. The good news is that SEO can be free if you're willing to do the research and make a few vital onsite changes. Google Adwords also works extremely well for us when set up correctly

I would say Yell is better than 118 because at least the shows up on google search results when someone search for cleaning services.
