Look for things like your town’s Chamber of Commerce, they usually have a directory for local businesses. You can also search for “[industry] directory.”

However, regarding the second one, I’d say it’s much wiser to use the bulk upload when creating 10+ locations :)

Regarding the fourth one, actually, it is more important than you can imagine. I divide citations into two types:

- reputation builders – such as Yelp, Yellowpages, Superpages, Local.com, MerchantCircle – they only help the search engines (Google, Bing) to believe your business and the data input is real

- relevance builders – such as Wickedlocal.com, Avvo, Wellness.com, or even more local/niche-based ones – they are the ones that actually help up your organic rankings

Greetings,
Nyagoslav
