Hello Preacher150 ~
Every letter, numeral and hyphen contained in a domain name are
important, and each of those help visitors find a specific Website.
As you have seen, www.thedrivinglessonacademy.co.uk is not the same as
www.drivinglessonacademy.co.uk, and asking for the site without the
letters 'the' in the name will not lead to your site.
You didn't say whether the yellow pages you are referring to are the
online yellow pages or the printed version. If they are the online
version, it should be an easy matter to contact them and ask them to
change your URL to include the letters 'the'.
If you are referring to the printed version, you will still want to
contact them to correct their listing for the next printing.
There is some good news, though!
A quick check showed that as of the time of answering this question no
one has registered www.drivinglessonacademy.co.uk (without 'the'). You
may want to register that domain name and point it to your site (with
'the' in it).
If you do that, visitors can type it in either way (with or without
the letters 'the') and still reach your site.
