There are differences in all these providers, but I use 800-411-SAVE because they use live agents and do business, government, and residential searches in both the US and Canada … and from the sound of it, the agents are not offshore!

Just send a text message to GOOGL (46645) and list what you are looking for, then the city and state (Ex: Krystal. Macon, ga), then send. In a minute you will get a text message back with the address and phone number. It's pretty cool. Of course, standard text messaging fees will apply.
