Landmark Search and Landmark Navigation
When you think of where a business is, do you think of the street address? Do you think of the closest intersection? Or, do you think of a known landmark? Chances are you think of a landmark, which could be a well-known brand such as Starbucks or an anchor store in a suburban strip-mall or a major grocery store such as a Fred Meyer or Safeway. Wouldn't it be convenient if there was a service that allowed you to find your landmark and immediately see what merchants are in proximity? With SideStreet's Search and Landmarking capabilities, you no longer have to wonder. Visit the search page to see more.

For the Merchant: Found and not Lost
Merchants are now a part of a search result not only when their service is searched for, but when any surrounding service is searched for. It's really that simple. If someone searches for the store to your left, they also find you. If someone searches for the store to your right, they still find you. If someone searches for another service within that marketplace... guess what? They find you.
