Grayboxx, the local search engine, today announced that the company’s unique “neighbor-recommended” local search engine has concluded its national trial phase and is now available across the United States. Using its PreferenceScore technology, Grayboxx provides more than 185 million automated rankings and recommendations for local businesses in more than 4,000 yellow pages business categories. In addition to implicit neighbor recommendations and updates to the PreferenceScore algorithm, the national release of Grayboxx will allow users to see reviews gathered from third-party sites.

“Grayboxx’s PreferenceScore technology provides a way to easily poll a community’s interest and preference in a local business, anywhere, anytime,” said Bob Chandra, founder of Grayboxx. “Local search services that rely solely upon user-generated reviews do provide useful information, but there is a huge gap between the number of available reviews and the number of local businesses in the United States. Grayboxx’s depth and breadth of automatically generated local business rankings and recommendations reliably fills this gap.”
