Call 1-800-Goog-411 for free directory assistance.

Filed under: General — jon @ 4:08 pm

Google is at it again…Total World Domination.  The Walmart of the Internet has created Google 411. A fast, easy and FREE directory assistance service.  From any phone, dial 1-800-Goog-411 and simply answer the questions:

1. What city and state?

2. What business name or category?

You are then given a few choices to go with….all voice activated.

Google uses the information provided by Google Maps to list your business so make sure your phone number is correct on your Google Maps / Google Local listing.

A few of the FAQs have some hidden information about what you are giving Google. 

For example:

How can I limit the information Google collects when I call Goog-411?

Google says:

There are a couple of ways you can control the way we collect and store information from your calls.

First, to delete any information we’ve associated with your phone number in the past, press the star (*) key at the beginning of your next call to GOOG-411 and follow the steps from there. Your phone number and all information associated with it will be deleted from the GOOG-411 system. We still keep anonymous information about all calls, but this information won’t be stored with your phone number.

Second, to avoid having any information associated with your phone number in the future, just block your caller ID before you call. With many phone services, you can do this by dialing *67 before the phone number. In most cases, you can also block your number through the menus on your mobile phone. For specific details on how to block your caller ID, contact your service provider.

Can I advertise on this service?

Google says:

At this point, we do not have advertising opportunities for this service.

Does anyone believe that won’t change in the future?
