Just starting in this business

Would anyone be willing to give me some advise on which of the priority listings to subscribe to.

Be VERY aware of what you are getting for your money if you pay for a listing! Most sites including this one, listings are by zip codes.

One site does not, they sell by COUNTY, and they give preference to those who are first to list, meaning, EVERYONE who listed before you, can be, and will eventually be, listed above you, in your county, even in your own zip code, and even if they live in a neighboring county! You may end up like me, paying good money to show up low in ALL the listings in my county, after someone in a different county bought top position in her county(I know, you would think that would not be the case, but it is)! So even if you show up first or even close to the top in the beginning, buying a listing does not guarantee that it will stay that way!!!!!

Tess is correct. You have to buy a position on one of the sites & it can get quite costly.
On NR you are listed by distance in any particular zip code.

Re: By listings, I mean searches done by zip codes.

Which is how most if not all our clients find us!! They do not search by county.

I have gotten calls from salespeople offering to position me on internet search results in my area ( 14 different results) for $XX a month. If I were going to do this (NSA) full time as career choice I would have to consider this. I purposely left out the names but with a little research you'll find them.
