After the contest, the guide is available all year and offers reviews and photos posted by customers, enhancing the value of a local business listing - both for the business and for those searching for detailed local information.
"People are increasingly exploring their cities online and are looking for more than basic information - they want photos, videos, maps, customer reviews and more," comments Josh Walker, CityVoter CEO.
