One way to increase your visibility and increase your chances of a higher page ranking with Google and other search engines is to make sure you are listed in local business directories. Here are a few that I have found to be quite useful and for basic listings, free:

Hot Frog - http://www.hotfrog.ca/

WorldWeb.com - http://www.worldweb.com/

Hamilton Business Directory - http://www.ylm.ca/ylm/ylm_home.aspx?f=hamiltoncity  and click on Add Business

Google Places - Click here

Hamilton.foundlocally.com - http://foundlocally.com/hamilton/General/FreeListings.asp

Hamiltondirect.info - http://www.hamiltondirect.info/membership/business/search/

These are just a few to start. Do a search for "local business listings", "hamilton business directories" or other such terms and you will be able to find some more. Be sure to include your keywords and keyword phrases when given the opportunity and a link to your target page (probably your home page). This is a great way to show up in Google search results perhaps even before being indexed by Google.
