a and a + ratings and accreditation from the better business bureau where applicable .
when searching or browsing yp’s website or app for a particular type of business, you can see right in the search results and listings pages exactly which businesses have received these top ratings. you can even narrow your searches to only include businesses with bbb ratings .
bbb ratings and accreditation have long been considered some of the most important seals of approval for small businesses. having those seals can help customers make informed decisions. and they can also help quality businesses stand out from the competition through a trusted third party .
stephan west of yp explained in an email to small business trends, “for businesses that have earned an a or a + rating (or bbb accreditation) displaying their rating provides an added level of recognition as a trusted business. additionally, consumers are able use these ratings in their decision - making process and can easily click through to
to view information about complaints, customer reviews, licensing, government actions, and more. ”
for yellow pages, having bbb ratings on yp business listings just seemed to make good sense. since many people use it as a way to browse or search for local or independent businesses, it seemed like a natural place to add some sort of rating or accreditation system to give customers a better idea of what they can expect from each business .
and since the bbb is already such a trusted entity, and bbb ratings can have a big impact on both businesses and their customers, integrating that information into the online and mobile yp experience seemed like a win for all sides .
west says, “bbb has a well - earned reputation of providing unbiased ratings on local businesses, which act as a strong complement to user reviews. yp’s goal is to give consumers as much information as possible to help them make a well - informed decision, making this integration a natural fit. ”

i was wondering about metal detecting in western colorado mountains. probably kind of northeast of ouary area up in the big blue wilderness area. i am new to metal detecting and don' t know too much about it. i' ve read that whites mxt - 300 does pretty good for nuggets in co mountains. i will have to hike in about 5 miles where i want to try, so its kind of off the beaten path. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks stan' s response: hi keith, your planned adventure sounds great. for the money, i don' t think you can go wrong with the mxt - 300. just be sure to practice a lot under different mineralization conditions before going into a remote area. each detector has it' s own personality and you must learn what every little sound means. it is time consuming work, but a very good investment of your time. use earphones! my favorite nugget detector in the next price range up is the fisher gold bug ii with multiple coils .
where are some spots to detect in the grand valley? stan' s response: hi andy, what are your main areas of interesting in metal detecting? are you more interested in nugget shooting, historical sites for small gold, or are you most interested in treasure caches? once you get back to us, we can hone in better on some target sites for you .
