Directory Showing In Brand Search Term Results

Hi,

I run a local business focused on maid cleaning services. When you search for my brand name the usual suspects pop up in the search results.

  1. My homepage
  2. Homeadvisor
  3. Yelp
  4. Angie's List
  5. Thumbtack
  6. eLocal

A few months ago, I signed up with eLocal to test their marketing services. Their service is fine although they manage to draw out a lot tire kickers. The issue with them is that they now show up in my brand name search results and the title of their page has a tracking phone number. They're now charging me $20 each time somebody calls me through that number which is quite annoying. It's particularly annoying because existing customers who are trying to reach me are dialing that number quite frequently.

What I tried to do is add a branded keyword to my adwords and run it above them but so far that hasn't helped that much.

I put my phone number in my contact us page and I tried to have the meta terms for my contact us page look very similar to their page in an effort to show it above them but google doesn't rank my contact us page very high.

Is there anything else that I can do?

Some of my competitors have mostly their organic pages show as search results 1-4. How would I be able to do that?
