How funny much of this is. For such an in demand service I cannot believe the competition is not tougher for top spots. You have a great domain name for ranking in yahoo as it is the only SE that takes that into regard. The longevity of your domain makes it easy to work into the top spots on google, as they are favorable toward older domains. YOU SHOULD not ever "need" to submit your site anywhere. Submitting to directories for free links and exposure is smart but search engines will find you if you put links anywhere accessible. We just did the site for tampa market, and were #1 ranking for every combination of tampa home inspector on Yahoo and MSN within 7 days. The market is soft with poor seo competition. Google will just take time but will get to the top as well. I could have you site in a #1 spot on a couple of the big engines in one month for maine home inspectors with little problem. mike + @ + hoptoo.com if you wanted to discuss it.
