...I would go there and get StepForths listing. So I visited the Bing Local Listing Center and tried to add my companys local listing but I ran into an annoying wall a little ways into the process that was a real let down; they didnt bother to tell me that only the USA is supported at the moment.

If you are in the USA the process to get your local listing is straight forward " at least as far as I got. Just go to the Bing Local Listing Center and log in with your Microsoft Passport (or create one) and if the system does not find a current listing it will allow you to create one. Well StepForth does not have one yet according to their system so I was directed to the listing local listing creation page. When I got to the creation page and began to fill out the submission form I was rebuffed by a big pet peeve of mine the system knew I was Canadian (it is noted in the header of the page) and yet the only way to add a listing was to enter a State and Zip (see screenshot).

I realize this is a nitpicky post but I am fed up with oversights in this regard. I mean how hard can it be to say I am sorry but Bing Local Listings is not supporting Canada right now " click here to be notified when it becomes available instead of finding out later on that it only supports the States? Thankfully the form is not long, so I dont discover this fact after entering a ton of information, which I have experienced all too often. Come on Microsoft! Get with it!

Mini-rant complete. Thank you for listening.
