Boston, Massachusetts - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - October 29, 2008 - Local search solution in the northeast, CitySquares.com, is expanding to provide enhanced web presence for businesses across America, with a national rollout in November scheduled.

By the spring of next year the site will feature over 16 million businesses from coast to coast--expanding on the current database of 1.5 million. This move comes as CitySquares secures investments from Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and Chairman of HDNet and from Jonathan Kraft, of the Kraft Group.

Ben Saren, CEO and co-founder of CitySquares noted, ''The investment capital we have received from Mark Cuban and Jonathan Kraft validates our position as a leading player in the realm of hyper-local search.'' Started in 2005 in Boston, CitySquares has emerged as one of the top two-thousand most visited websites in the nation, according to Quantcast.

In September 2008, CitySquares received over 1 million unique users; monthly traffic now eclipses such brand name sites as: -- Dunkin'Donuts.com -- Mastercard.com -- NYC.com -- WNBC.com According to Comscore, 3% of all internet users in New England use CitySquares for local search.

Mr. Cuban offered, ''We recognize the value of local search and see CitySquares as a dynamic player in that space.''

Jonathan Kraft, President of the Kraft Group, is a believer in nurturing businesses born in Massachusetts remarked, ''We are looking forward to working with CitySquares to leverage their strength in local search to benefit our business interests, like Patriot Place, and also for other local companies that can benefit from CitySquares' expertise.''

Mr. Saren says the expansion establishes new infrastructure for CitySquares to replicate the success it has had in the Boston market, expanding existing business partnerships and establishing new ones.

Mr. Sared noted, ''Boston is still our home base and we will continue to roll out new innovations and initiatives here first because we have such strong relationships with business owners here. As new products and services are developed we will then roll them out to the entire country. This is truly an exciting time for CitySquares and for our partners.''

CitySquares was founded in 2005 based on the simple premise that finding local, neighborhood businesses online is really hard and very frustrating. Furthermore, small businesses are being challenged every day to keep up with the Joneses. Until recently, they had very little chance to compete with national advertisers for consumer attention. So, CitySquares provides small, independent businesses an opportunity to reach a qualified, local consumer audience through a search engine optimized profile on it’s highly trafficked, consumer-facing website. CitySquares provides its content to users in a hyper-local context, that is, neighborhoods and other relevant localities.
