Optimizing Regional Directory Websites

Hi everyone.

I'm just wondering if anyone has some insight into the best keywords to use to optimize a regional directory - basically a directory for a particular city...

i don't believe people living in a particular city like Toronto would search for "toronto directories" when looking for a business like a web design firm. I can't optimize my site for each and every business possibility in the city either so narrowing down the right keywords to use for a regional directory seems quite tricky at this time.

Any ideas would be right appreciated...
